this sounds really drunk

very few people admit to themselves how much/often they lose. I didn't start playing until about 2 years ago, but the first book i read was Ken Warren's basic hold em book, and i was determined to make sure i wasn't just another degenerate gambler. Warren stressed the importance of being honest with yourself all the time, and i've kept records of pretty much everything ive played since then.Thanks to a handful of 2nd and 3rd places in MTT's ive made about $3,000 online, but ive managed to be a barely break-even player with my local friends that i play with often. It's depressing because i know

what tournies you playing in today?

Who else is in?they overlay almost every guarenteed tourney, its crazy...but they never lower them. Must be the joys of running a sportsbook online.same name as this for me...

good luck man, take it down.

Whatthe hellare youtalkingabout?

the really big one that says "You suck, thank you for your money."its seems like i always get that table.

what a waste that was...won 3 ****in hands once i got moved...****in river.

4200 at first break, havent won a hand since that last post. got moved to a new table and the deck went cold.i cant see playing in this tourney too often, 10 minute blinds!!!should be an all in fest about halfway through this hour...i really gotta research stuff before i drop money into it.

someone say something....im up to 5700, playing pretty good now.i dont like how if no one has replied, this post just gets added on to my last one. it makes it look stupid since they're only semi-related.

Does anyone even play on absolute? i dont like it, but im in a spending money mood, figured i'd give a shot.anyone else playing?just played aces about as poorly as i could have...always a good sign.*** POCKET CARDS ***Dealt to THERAFLU [As Ac] PROFIO - FoldsSIRIUS13 - Calls $20BUCK IT - FoldsWHATAREU - FoldsJPMERLIN - Raises $80 to $80THERAFLU - Calls $80IB2NAUGHTY4U - Calls $80ITSDADDY - FoldsPHLOE - FoldsSIRIUS13 - Calls $60*** FLOP *** [6c 9s 6d]SIRIUS13 - ChecksJPMERLIN - Bets $200THERAFLU - Calls $200IB2NAUGHTY4U - Raises $800 to $800SIRIUS13 - FoldsJPMERLIN - All-In(Raise) $2160 to $2360

calling all-ins with AK is -ev

yep, shoulda folded when im what, a 9-1 to win the hand?

someone earlier posted how having 5 buyins affects the tournament for other players...and with tourneys being so card dependent, you get 5X as many chances as everyone else to win 200k, i think it makes a pretty significant difference.

man, id have to have a lot of money to not be pretty pissed over losing 100k...thats pretty nuts

nice

more info?

in the full tilt 10k, not getting much, finally get aces in the bb.utg min raises, folded around to me, so i just call.flop comes j-3-3, i check, he bets 1/3 my stack, i push in, he calls with k-q offsuit. i already know that the straight is gonna hit, so i see the 9, and if i was live i woulda just stood up and walked away before the 10 hit.anyways, if for some reason im in a 10k buy-in tourney, and someone sucks out on me for a runner-runner straight, i dont know how im going to handle it, but it wont be pretty.

i need to post

great job!thanks guys, woulda liked to win but the structure was definately push or nothing, i was satisfied with third.id love to see how you finished, but im gonna nap for 2 hours and then do my paper, ill check up on ya then. good luck man!

im out in 3rd in bodog, picked up $954...first hand of 3 handed, i get JJ on the button, raise it up, get reraised and then i push, he has ak, hits the ace on the turn.gl runaa

down to 4 left in my bodog 10k guarentee...im short stack, but only open guy has a big stack...

hah! i got a comm theory paper due at 9. and i have to commute 30 miles to boston.

GL.. win it!same to you buddy, yours pays much better

im at the final table of the bodog 10k guarenteed...i enjoy ppl critiquing my play, so dont be afraid to watch....same name
