08 so far... - Page 15 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

Some of the hands OP posted, he seriously misplayed them.

Of course you're going to get sucked out again and again if you slowplay everytime you flop a set.

There is such a thing called "betting" that allows you to cut down the odds of opponents drawing out on you. In so many hands you posted, you play it passive. If you're going to be scared then move down. The way you play, sure you run bad, but you would make more money if you just went all in on the flop everytime you hit even.. instead of this check/call, check/check, bet river then get reraised all in for suckout crap.

I'm **** at maths but I think people are like failing to realize he's picking out his sickest unlucky stretch from a larger distribution of results so obviously he's going to appear more unlucky than he is...i.e. 4/100 000 or whatever. Just to put it in maybe some perspective, and ofc i could be wrong.

Anyways, this is sick hope it turns around for you. Whats your stars name? I'll send you a small amount of my rather meagre net worth out of sympathy.

I've played probably 750,000 hands or more. I got all-in with AA against two people with Kings exactly once during that time, and lost to a rivered straight. It was at a crucial building time in my BR too. That's when I knew I was one of the cursed ones

By the way, and I don't deny this may be a stupid question, but was that a legit email from FT about the doomswitch? Not that I think there is such a thing (although this thread is certainly compelling proof) but I was wondering if they really made that joke or if I just missed something in this hellish thread.

Sorry, OP. This is incredible.

Is there something i dont understand with this picture?
