Does anybody have a better cure for a 125 big bet live down swing other than 48 hours off and two sessions of drinking? If so please send pm/text message, otherwise, see you Monday.

go play 1-2 online and book a smallish win. It boosts my ego a ton to win at any kind of poker and it helps a lot when I'm running bad.

if it makes you feel any better, i also dropped 10 racks this week at commerce

i am bored so i am going to commerce for 1 night to gambol

Gonna have to go with happy ending massage on this one, and its not close.

are there ebony massage parlors in Oakland?

mitch covered this. and you can really substitute whatever experience you want to remind yourself that there's much more to life than winning at poker right now. frankly I kinda enjoy sex more than binge drinking.

non-attachment is one of the many keys to enlightened living... as in you should be equally unattached to your upswings as you'd like to be to your downswings. because they both have an equal capacity to be destructive if you start identifying with them.

poker can be such a great teacher

what can possibly be wrong with 48 hours off and two sessions of drinking?

no comment.

I like alcohol, and will make good friends with it after the ASU game tonight....I really don't know what is up with this team.

yeah. skip the drinking.

haha that's awesome.

afaik there's not really much that way out in CT. Haven't really investigated it too much though.

Does Ms. Jesse have any suggestions?

I stunk tonight and deserved to lose more than I actually did. I made bad plays, went on minor tilt a few times, and generally sucked it up at a table with some really bad players. Notheless, it does not excuse these hands....

I raise UTG with KQs. Donkey...really passive awful calling station does what calling stations do best and calls the raise. Flop is rags and I bet. He calls. Turn is a rag. I bet. He calls all in for a full bet. River is a brick and he rolls over KQo for the chop.

I got limp reraised pf four times tonight. This is a first at Commerce and about as ******ed as it gets since there are usually 2-3 others calling your raise in the $20-40. Anyway, one guy got me twice. Mostly cause he open limped a ton of hands. The second time he open limps in the HJ. I raise on the button with JJ. Awful BB calls. HJ threes and I four. BB takes the abused and asks for more. Flop is Q and rags. I'm dumb enough to call down and see the AA. Whippeeee!

PRETTY SICK!

About 2 months ago I LOST 13/16 SETS in one session of 20/40!
I have only played once since then.....talking a hiatus!!

....sounds unbelieveable (it was about 17 hr session).....people dont get that many sets in perhaps a month or two and instead of cleaning house, I managed to get RAPED!

Ruling was a check in the 2nd one. Thankfully for Bakku in he first hand the idot hand bottom pair and a flush draw and lost to Bakku's top pair, better flush draw.

7 turn bets and neither jerk-ass has the nuts...

Cmon phils.

Sorry, section 145 and already drunking it up.

Loose passive 20/40 typical game at the Borgata Saturday afternoon...

one extremely loose passive old man open limps in the CO, i raise QJ of hearts on the button, folded back to him who says,

"Can I get my 20 back?" I respond with "no, but I'll give you 5 back if you want" (keeping in mind I was running badly as well as not playing optimally) and he says, "really? ok, deal!"


and he mucks face up the old AQ


wow

I don't know if I would define him as loose passive. I don't think loose players fold like this...maybe uber tight passive would be a better description.
