QFT...9 days into the month, and I'm running 0.09 PTBB/100. SHIPIT.

Well, what happened? BTW, I agree about donkaments being a bit of a stress break from ring games. If they were your bread and butter though it would be an entirely different story.


Jake and Popers - WOW...very nice!

LOL at the very thought of playing tourneys for a living.
I would need 3 decades of rent saved up to feel comfortable.

The variance at cash games drives me crazy, I can only imagine. Had to leave juicy tables just now b/c I was tilting so hard.
Got it in on the turn as an 89/11 favorite twice and lost both.
Add to that a KK and QQ vs Axo and you've got yourself a [censored] couple hours.

DLM, can I borrow one of your guns???

Whatever, I figure it'll have to even out one day and I'll run like god and win the WSOP ME.

That's how statistics work, right?

MP2 was a donk, so I was hoping to flop a set, play it slow, and let him bet. Instead, I get invited into the pot, hit my set, and have to do nothing more than click the call button. Sweet turn card.

Kos, betting $40 gets the same effect.

Yeah, I just hate how I have to check behind on any non-club river if he smooth calls that $40 bet. It's probably the right play, though.
