I will never forget that hand as it is the perfect example of how no matter how good you are, some moron who thinks they are good can win more than you for a long period of time because they run hot and can do no wrong. That's the way the game works though.
This is soooo true. It is mindnumbingly infuriating playing for a week straight against 60/5 droolers who stack off with top pair but being unable to make anything to beat them post-flop. Whilst at the same time reg-fish seemingly make 2 pair / sets / straight every hour. Sometimes, I think wft the frequencies these guys are making hands is absurd - wtf is going on. When I play live I seem to play uber tight (feel like dealt J4o 9/10 hands). Also when you read live tournament updates / twitter feeds from players I think wtf they're making sets / straights etc every hour - I make like 1 per day lol. I played in Malta recently for a week and won something like 4 hands post-flop in a week.

w/r/t live poker, it's always like that, but let's be honest, it's the same for you. When you are winning lots it is always from some drooler whipping stacks in your face when you flop sets, make straights, etc

It's not like online where half the profit comes from outplaying dumbass regs and getting them to do stupid ****, in live poker the other regs aren't too active and 90% of your profit comes from making hands vs. whales.

ha I actually am pretty sure I'm up more vs. regs (and it's not close) than vs. fish, but this might be a function of run good/run bad

you should really read this: http://www.amazon.com/Mental-Game-Po...3&sr=8-1-fkmr0

it has a fair bit of mumbo jumbo but I'm still getting a lot out of it. I thought of it because he spends a few chapters dissecting your statement up there ^^, which is def really unhealthy.

happy bday orange.

as a non american football watcher i happened to see the kicker for baltimore miss from 20 yards or w/e, is that a huge choke or does it kinda happen? i couldnt believe my eyes, i would make that kick in my sleep (or so i think anyway).

also, are we doing ssnl superbowl squares again?
01-23-2012 , 07:29 PM
It's a huge choke. I'll do superbowl squares if someone wants to run it.
01-23-2012 , 07:37 PM
once again, thanks all for happy bday wishes.

El P, yes, that is a massive choke spot.

superbowl squares- huge bitch to set up...probably would have to use pay pal. i probably don't want to go through the hassle of setting it up, so gl if you guys do do it.

Certainly a function of playing significantly more hands with regs than with fish
