Default I wanna hear a losing (large sum) trip report

Why is that? Is it human nature? We RARELY here about a trip report or story about a losing session, week, or month, but we here a lot of winning stories. Just curious if anyone else noticed this. I want to hear a horrible trip report where someone dropped 200 BB's. Why do we never hear these trip reports? go ahead flame away lol

Last time I was in Vegas, I won 10 BBs in an hour at 3/6. When I got home, I found out I had cancer. Net net, it was a pretty big loss. Happy?

I lost $100 bucks at the GS on friday night. I also lost $130 in at a satellite at the Grand on Saturday. Does that help you?

I was down $300 or so in AC this past weekend, but then finally had a winning session Sunday morning before I left, for a net loss of about $100 - which is a lot at 2/4 (even though its 25 BBs, its like terrible to have a losing weekend against those clowns).

Not as bad as cancer though... hope you get better soon Kramer.

I also lost my virginity on a recent Vegas trip. This was long before the cancer trip.

You registered on the 6th and today is the 17th, i am guessing that your sample size is to small to be statistically significant.

Many posters are very honest about their results and openly discuss their swings, both up and down.

My read is you like to hear about other people's misery.

Welcome to the forums MemphisRounder.... there are a few of us from memphis on here. Where do you play besides the Shoe? Any local games? Bar Games? Homegames? What limits do you typically like to play. I'm pretty well networked in the Memphis homegame scene and am aware of a pretty good assortment of games in the memphis area, depending on your limits....

I dropped over 200 BB in a few hours in a $1/2 NL game within the last week, if that makes you feel better
