anybody got any info on PJam_JR they want to share? Apparently he's just going to keep sitting me at 200s. I'm way ahead so far, but I won't always run like god against him, and tilt him into 3bet/calling with 86.

you say it like that's not his standard for every game

seriously you can't be worried by him??

just lost 8 buyins to som1 that was shoving over 80% of hands..

never ran soooo bad.. gonna hang myself..

That happened to me HARDCORE a few months ago. I went through a 10k downswing during it, running about 8k below allin EV over a relatively small number of games, playing no higher than 200s, and moving down as I dropped towards the end (but definitely not quickly enough, which is probably my absolute biggest flaw in poker).

My beat tolerance was so ridiculously low for months after that I'd have sessions where I'd post a 40% ROI over the session and still be tilted because of a few absurd hands or games.

This is the first month since then that I've been able to bring myself to put in any sort of even remotely significant volume, and not totally freak out when somebody 4bet shoves A7o for 50bbs into my AA and wins.

I honestly don't know what to tell you as far as getting over it though. I've had soul-crushing downswings before, and I've even had downswings for comparable $ amounts, but that one, and the after-effects that lingered months after the fact, very nearly made me give up poker altogether.

The strange thing about that one is that it didn't really put my confidence level in the dumps, like all the previous huge downswings had done. Of course, having my tilt level go through the roof is at least as bad, and maybe worse, than having my confidence level destroyed. I dunno.

Sucks that you depend on poker (at least in part) for living, I didn't have that extra weight fortunately. But stick it out, play good poker when you can, quit ASAP when the tiltmonkey jumps on your shoulder, and hopefully you can recover a lot more quickly than I did.

LOL =D

The first few times he sat me, I was a little bit annoyed. But hey, that's poker. I've come to accept that if I want to sit first (and frankly, fish NEVER sit first anymore, so there's just no other way to table select), then the STRIKE2CALLEDs, the ITRIED2WARNUs, the genericsnXXs, and the PJam_JRs of the world are going to sit with me. Possibly even a lot. (I think I've played something like 80 games each with ITRIED and genericsn, and frankly my results have been pretty bad against them. maybe less than that against ITRIED, since although he does sit me pretty frequently, he doesn't seem to want to go for the marathons that generic and strike do)

After playing a bunch with pjam, though I'm really not worried by him. At all. Even tried to get him to sit 2 tables with me today. But since he's obviously convinced I'm a rungood moron, I figure I can expect to be sat by him anytime he's around, and any info helps, even if it's not likely anybody can (or will) give me anything I haven't already figured out.

I didn't think 3bet/calling 86 was his standard though.

i would like to share something with the sng reg.

hosnimubarak=tom

i dont like that guy he is playing like a fish. he has good stats but really he plays like a ******

why? doesnt that hosnimubarak has so much respect on ftp. he make stupid call. i truly think he has noclue why he is calling.

He should go back to egypt. Does his country even allow gambling and how does he get the technology to get a internet provider

i m going to take him down from ftp

go get 'im!

lol

bad engrish

anyone wanna read my awesome story idea for rounders 2?

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...84/index8.html

im just gonna withdraw my roll and play the 10s until reach twenty buyins at the next level until im back at the 50s. need a few stress few weeks and im clearly -ev in my mental state right now.

Definitely been there.

Good luck!

donny needs a coach / manager.

i get paid on friday and i want to make like 10gs. can anyone help with this BR challenge.

i've read this can be done by grinding 27 and 45 mans. also HU.

also thinking about getting my roomate to sign up on fulltilt with rakeback

just give your money to husng.com

I'm in it now. Not a downsing per se, but breakeven 300-400 games generates the same effect. No matter mine cards Q2, 89 are the nuts. I took few days off, and today I played a guy that must know Jesus or sth. Its soul crushing to say the least, but either you play through it or quit and my mom raised no quitter, so...

lol @ being worried about P_jam btw. I'm pretty sure he's my most profitable opponent. And I know that quite a few of the good regs at our level have crushing records v. him

any thoughts on u_got_pwnd on FT......$88ish level

I am willing to bet a large amount of money that you don't do a solid review after your games.

haha just noticed something on full tilt...since I have no chat I can't change my avatar emotions (which is kinda dumb), but on the rematch screen you can change the emotion of both your guy and your opponent's! lol. not really that big of deal but just something that I found humorous

I often change theirs to a sad face after crushing them

Huge congrats Radeh (and thanks for the shoutout ) Sick score dude!~ Keep crushing!

Im currently in a 12k downswing and had a 2k game BE stretch in April/May. I always think of something Dean said to me one day and it basically keeps me sane a lot of the time, which is "It's just a part of the job". Might sound stupid but the reality is that downswings are a part of the job, they may be the **** part but we have to deal with them regardless of whether we want to or not (OR if we're Spamz )
You can't change the past so you can only deal with the future and your future actions, try to focus on that.

Joe I know we had some words in past bro.. but sucks and hope you get it back and then some.. GL.

This helps so much. I've been feeling completely awful and suddenly I feel like I can take on the world.
