Seems that way, yes.

A question for you hardcore grinders. How long does your average computer last? I use laptops and the average lifetime for them is ~2 years, after that they are pretty much crap ready to be thrown away.

might download "memtest" to see if your RAM is working properly. could also be some malware on your harddrive so maybe formatting could fix it

I played the hand two years ago; I've long forgotten my motivations behind 3-betting. With villain's stack size, shoving looks pretty bad no matter what I think he has.

The way I posted the history -- removing the reraise from the hand history -- means I wasn't sure if it was the correct play.

Just remember there's people that run worse than you out there. It can always be worse. Dwelling on it is the worst thing you can do - it's not productive in any sense. At least you posted girls before ranting.

I think it is one of those barriers you need to overcome by just accepting them as a part of the game.

Sums up this ****

laptops are awesome. they aren't anywhere near as long-term as desktop pcs but much more flexible, so it's a decent trade off for some people imo

I basically only ever grind at home so it's really not a problem.
