Thanks for playing. But your post is number 1313 for you, furthering my suspicions of strange occurrences.

And AlwaysFolding's post is 14,641 (palindrome). And Mike/Chucks post is number 797 (palindrome). I told you about the palindromes before that happened. I am going to win and it's a type of winning unheard of by most. Because I am what I am and the Universe certainly knows it. I just promise you i'm going to win if its played out. How deep are you?

I'm 2 inches deep in your mum

Time to lock this up I reckon.

Bought in 500 and cashed 671 tonight ... + 171 ... another palindrome. What the fook is the percentage of integers that are palindromes? Unreal.

Actually, a lock and a ban for OP would be pretty sensational.

I'll ship 500 nickels to whoever does it quickest.

Another session in the books. Waiting for my seat I take a few hold’em hands, an hour or so. Zero winners, culminating in raising with A-K on the button, flop A-2-3, and I’m up against 2-3, with of course .00000000000001/2 percent chance of improving my hand. Pre-flop the dude had said, "oh well I’m due," when he called. For the entire length of this run, a comment like that has signaled total miracle double-up for the jackoff that said it. I put him on his exact hand when he check-raised me, 2-3. But he only had 75 or so more. He doubles up. Nice hand.

I get my seat in 1-2 PLO. Stuck, I decide to take on obvious aces with a double suited middle range rundown. I make the straight, second nuts. Aces dude other two cards make the pure nuts, but he doesn’t know it so I get slow-rolled in a 1200 pot. Nice.

I flop top two and nut flush draw. Check raise it, guy trips the turn with smaller two pair and smaller flush draw. Nice.

Seat in 5-5 PLO opens. Here comes the ridiculous hand. I have J-J-10-7. Flop K-J-3, two spades … I have trip jacks and a jack high spade draw, heads up for 100 pre. Of course I know I could be up against trip kings. He bets 100 on the flop. I smooth. Almost anything that comes I’m check-raising the turn (he’s aggressive and millionaire reckless). I want him involved esp for his bluff range, which is what happened. 4d on turn. I check. He bets 250. His hand is K-9-Q-6, no flush draw. I raise it 755 (“Hank Aaron,” my favorite player) all-in. He’s pissed and has practically nothing. He calls it, only win off-suit 10. Sure enough 10 of clubs. Everybody says, “Oh, man. Brutal.” Shyt.

Went back to 1-2 with last 300. I don’t do cash machines, last time I used one was 1979. So I’m 300 or bust. I run it up to 1500 and get in the 5-10-20 PLO. I make a few hands, still it seems these bodacious starters of 8-9-10-J ds and A-K-Q-10 ds, 10-10-J-J ds, are flopping anything at all about 1% of the time. I mean is that the norm? No. So frustrating when each flop costs ~ 100 and nothing comes and there is so much potential being lost. For so, so long been fighting card death with opponent catching anything they need just make a wish magic.

I have a rule against playing a hand with 2-2 in it. My last hand as I’m racking for move up is 2-2-K-K. I go for it though I know it’s pure voodoo. Flop 2-5-9 off. Check around to me, one guy behind me. I pot, he repots … yup trip nines.

I’m up against the most bizarre run I’ve ever seen anyone have. There, I said it.

For only the second time I can ever remember, both recent, I lost track of how much I was in the game (a bunch of buys, 5 different tables, all kinds of sizing with the moves, all kinds of rebuys). May be something to that I think, because, I made two of my biggest comebacks ever in those very two sessions, including tonight. Just quit worrying about it and fire seems to be the lesson.

Get well hand had a lot of duress. I have 5-6-7-7r, heads up with button who raised, flop 8c-9c-3d. Oh god. I call 100. Turn is 7 off. I check he bets 300. I ship 1000 more not knowing of course where I stand with small straight and trips. He’s on a naked flush draw. Somehow, somehow, at million-to-one odds, the flush didn’t come. I stack up 3700.

Next flop heads up with same guy. He has a lot more than that. I have A-K-9-7ds. Flop A-K-2. I check call 100. Turn is ace. He bets 100 again. I stare at that board for a long time. WTF beats me here, no straight flush draw, so many months, 39 now, of nightmare runouts. He bets 100 again. I min raise it. He counts a bunch of chips, too bad, just calls. He folds river. I rack and leave, 4 AM.

I’m emboldened by it all. The worst run that can happen to a poker player has already happened. I’m moving way up in limits, as I’ve always played well beneath and now I think that is somehow self-defeating, though it seemed reasonable while running bad to be conservative. But knitting around doesn’t work, it backfires. 5-10-20 is exciting and crying doesn’t help. The players are good of course, most very good, but also very cavalier about throwing nickels in.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDdd
op still posting

thanks man you're a funny guy
TLDR though

My offer stands!

please never quit poker

Yeah I see what you mean ... in the 3 main pots cited I'm 13/1 favorite in a 2K pot (lost it), 5/1 favorite in a 4K pot (won it), and 100% in a $800 pot.

The set under set hand the guy was the only guy behind me so I stabbed, and he only had 100 more when he raised. I'm never on low sets in big pots, whereas my opponents are because I let them think its good, which can work really well.

So I see what you mean. Quite a gift to the game.

The interesting part of any "gift" going on here, is in the big games they tend to throw in black chips, and even blarney nickels like you do with half a stack of reds in a small game. That's why that guy won the 3-outer hand against me. Not only was he willing to throw in another black chip or two when he got caught, he was willing to throw in a purple. I mean, they are GOOD players, but there is some serious edge there. Nevertheless i realize the chips tend to gravitate toward the big stacks, but it's not because they'll throw in hundreds to save face when caught with their pants down.

tl;dr

stay out of my thread and go double down on Trump since you haven't learned that saying it doesn't make it so

Grunching. In 4 teh AF Trump double down.

I am going to KFC double-down so ****ing hard in this thread

As soon as you sit down...

BURRRRS

Another microburst. Within 90 minutes of sitting:

1st hand 8-10 of hearts ... flop 10-8-4, turn Qh pick up a heart draw, river Q ... lose to A-A

Two hands later ... pick up Q-Q, flop J-5-2 ... up against trip jacks.

A-5 of spades, flop two spades and a 5, turn trip the five ... lose stack to bottom two pair flopped he turned a full.

Flop nut flush versus second nut flush. Comes trips on board halting all action.

Guy flopped bottom two pair against my nut flush draw and straight draw, check raises me and fills on turn. Obv he has 4 cards to make me dead. Presto.

Flopped nut flush draw versus second nut flush draw. He makes a pair on river and takes it.

I play a couple more hours. No winners. PLO list is too long. I leave wondering about it. It's what death looks like.

Ain't no party like this bull**** party cause we wish this bull**** would STOP

So I get it that the competition is light years beyond what it used to be and I'm not the fave to be withdrawing money from the games all the time. Pretty much everybody of my vintage went thru that. I don't have a problem with that as I don't have a lot of ego about poker, it's not even my main game. My comeuppance was delayed so maybe more stark when it arrived. But it is the way of the losing that seems bizarre, continuous coolers and huge underdog suckouts constantly by pros. I had my days in the sun, but so odd the way this perfect storm is coming down. BUT, if luck is the residue of preparation, gotta admit I don't prepare like I used to. But this kind of luck??

This kind of luck
You seem like a shmuck
Your hand you must muck

About this thread I give no ****

This thread is one of the worst of all time and I've read a lot of threads.

Maybe if you had the dealers wash the cards this could all change. Try and report back in great detail.

As soon you sit down, intense...
