venice you watch some seriously weird youtube

Found the reason why I ran bad.

Thanks venice.

Im not !00% about this but I think they lose money when you take the $1 chips home, because it costs them more than a $1 to make,as i was told this by a casino employee.

Considering on-line you can buy 1,000 high end chips for less than $1 per chip, I doubt any well run room is paying that much for a chip. However, it is possible.

Oddly, my ridiculous case of the run good started when I began posting here.

Just never, ever (ever) state you're running like god here; that'll cue the doomswitch almost immediately.

Lol no hard feelings just wondering.

Maybe you should apply for the 2+2 editing job.

ya, think of reverse implied odds, only it's karma instead.

time to batten down the hatches??

That would require me to want to do so???

Maybe you should apply for snl?

Tommy Angelo sez running bad is an illusion, a figment of your imagination.
It's all in your mind (he's right!)
tell it to a dwindling bankroll, though.
LOL.

theres a televised poker forum on 2+2, FYI.

I'm forwarding the applications now.

Agree, its a reason why the best player in the world is the best online and live. Poker is a game of skill. Poker doesn't care if you post your running good on a forum. Or if your running bad.

I run bad on forums.

Play bad IRL.

Smell bad errywhere.

Link?

explain to me how one hand in which you got unlucky is connected to another hand in which you got unlucky?
when you're 'running bad' you start thinking that these hands are all happening during the same time period all the sudden for some sinister reason, that the poker gods are out to get you.
In reality, each hand is a seperate event, and they have no connection w/ each other in terms of how 'lucky' you are right now, whatever. whats the difference between seeing a donk on a 'rush'? he thinks it's happening for a reason, but it's just random, it has no meaning. the only real pattern is the bunching effect of nature itself.
believing in 'running bad/good', or attributing real meaning to it just opens the door for tilt, winners tilt, or monkey tilt, chasing tilt, you name it.
It's like theres a knock on the door, you say whos there,
"it's the devil"
well, come right on in, then.

Bobby Hoff pointed out that while the cards don't care, your opponents do. If you are running "bad," your opponents will call you down more frequently because you're losing, making your bluffs less successful. If you are running "good," your opponents will fold, even if they think you're FOS, because you'll beat them anyway.

Bobby Hoff word is gold. I got more out of that interview then the whole book.

My favorite part was when he talked about new players calling the reraise too much.

My ego vanished after that point.

thats why i quit when my image sucks, and go home and watch the Big Lebowski for the umpteenth time.

Does this mean if you are unattractive you shouldnt play poker? Gee no wonder why I lose. Golly.

Lmao

You guys are poker players and believe in bankroll management. Watch that video. Its maybe 7 minutes long and worth your time. Its the mission I am on. If I can get rid of my car I am debt free (sans house) and then I am going on this plan. This will pay you more than poker ever will.

I don't believe there is anything sinister / etc. behind "running bad" nor any poker gods working on things from above. I also know that each separate poker hand is unrelated (apart from the tilt / image factor) and so you can never know whether you are in the middle of a rush / running bad (because who knows what is going to happen next).

But it's fairly obvious to me that we all have run-bad streaks and run-good streaks, which are basically times where numbers expressed in short term results are nowhere near their long term expectation. If we were to flip a coin, we'd expect an heads to come up 1/2 the time and tails to come up 1/2 the time (more-or-less). If we continually bet heads and tails comes up 10 tosses in a row, obviously we ran bad during that period; ditto for the reverse.
