I play at Partypoker maybe 3 times a year. I keep going back because I know the players there suck fatties. I am not a great player, not even a good one, but I am fairly confident when I sit down at a microstakes Partypoker table, I am going to be in the 25% of players there. It may not be true, but thats how I feel.

But every time I do, I run into a series of bad beats that is hard to replicate on any other site. Partypoker is my Eleanor.

Here is the creme de la creme of my latest quest.

the nl25 players on stars and fulltilt are bad too

[x] nl 25
[ ] bad play has anything to do with site rather than stakes

fyp

man i hope this is a level.

not only is it 25nl but its only for like 33bb - man it'd be nice if mods would set some criteria and slap the banner hammer more often for failing so hard

lol wtf ban

weak

[x] OP is 'in the 25% of players' at Party NL25
[ ] OP is 'in the 25% of posters' at 2p2

I posted a bad beat from $25NL, which SHOULD make me the whiniest little btch on the thread. But I failed at that too.

pretty solid comeback imo

I liked it too.

And there it goes! I swear, Partypokerers win despite themselves.

[ ] beat

fyp

I really thought this was gonna be a bbj story

Edit: don't 85% of players lose? So being in the top 25% would mean you have a very high chance of being a losing player

If you ever lose confidence here...your not going to make it at poker

Really? I didnt know that. I will have to adjust my estimate of my own ability to >15%.

I agree, that comment somehow saved the thread imo.

[x] OP posts at P5s
[ ] OP should post here

[ ] OP posts at P5s
[X] OP got banned from P5s

or maybe

[ ] this bracket BS is still funny
