dico Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Entered two MTT's on laddies last night. Roughly 2 hours into both and approaching the money......... First off I get dealt pocket 10's. I raise 5/6 x the BB. I get 2 callers. Flop 2 5 10 - bingo trip 10's. I bet the pot, one guy folds and the other goes all in. I call he turns over AK. Turn - J River - Q He wins with a straight:wall:wall At about the same time on the other table some maniac is raising again. He had been doing this with very marginal hands. I get pocket jacks and so put him all in. He turns over pocket 5's and you can guess who made trips:wall Anybody else ever think the worlds against them:cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Ever feel like giving up............. We've all had those days, then sometimes you hit a perfect day when you can do nothing wrong. It's variance, no getting away from it. Mitagate the bad, maximise the good. You'll be fine over time :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be fine over time :ok I know what your saying mate but I didn't do anything wrong:wall I don't mind losing when I make a bad decision but I did the right thing and still lost. I know on another day I will get lucky (swings and roundabouts) and hit runner runner it's just bloody frustrating at the time:ok I'll be back for more at the weekend:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Ever feel like giving up............. You do know that Internet Poker's rigged don't you!;) I remember nearly smashing my system up when I flopped quad 5,s and the guy hit a str8 flush on the turn for a £400 pot. That was nice:\.

SteveO Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Ever feel like giving up............. Of those hands Gaf statistically is 55 vs 66 actually the worst bad beat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Ever feel like giving up............. No, the AA v KQs is slightly worse (whcih surprises me - I was with you and thought the 66v55 was the worst) Of course we dont know when the money went in - the "underdog" may have been ahead when the bets were made.....
