AcesOnFire 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 In the end poker is luck. Luck that when you dealt good hands, you'll be lucky and someone will have a hand good but not as good as yours. Just in the end, it all comes down to lucky situations.AND I CAN'T ****ING GET INTO ONE.What brings me to this conclusion? Making 800$ from 20 and then watching it all disappear. Pokertracker says my play didn't change. I just didn't get those lucky situations, I got the unlucky ones.I read every ****ing poker book, every ****ing online tutorial, pour over my ****ing stats and redeposit and holy shit, jack **** has changed. I'm just ****ing cursed to ridiculous shit. Best one today is 2 tables left at $4 180, I have QQ, go all in and lose to 77 turning trips. OFCOURSE. Because the luck of poker said 'No, I'd rather **** YOU UP THE ASS'.MY STATS ARE UP DOWN UP DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN. BECAUSE LUCK DICTATES THIS SHIT.****s sake Jesus, what the hell do I have to get a break? Link to post Share on other sites

Because the luck of poker said 'No, I'd rather **** YOU UP THE ASS'.You're right. Luck is an important part of the game. You can do everything correctly and still lose. It happens to us all. Believe me my friends constantly make fun of me because I complain at my 'rotten luck'. I don't know everything surrounding your last hand but a few things. 1) It's a $4 buy-in. At that level, most players aren't that good. There is a good chance that the person who called wasn't even thinking about what you had. 'I have a made hand 77, I'm calling.' 2) What if instead of pushing all in pre-flop you made a sizeable raise. Even if he called, and then if you pushed all in after the flop and he called- FANTASTIC you're an 92-8 favorite. Remember a preflop all-in is very dangerous. If someone calls, it means that they are going to see all 5 cards. If you're that upset, take a month off or play other games. Change your frame of mind.Best of luck, (seriously)Joe Link to post Share on other sites
