when you start off your morning with an email to a friend about a terrible bad beat you took the night before and your subsequent matusow moment that woke up your whole house.... this is a real email i wrote to a friend this morning... its actually pretty funny even though it wasn't meant to be at the time... read onDAMN MAN... that SUX the exchange between u and your Dad was hilarious, i can picture that happening-----Original Message-----From: CrackofmyACE (edited for privacy purposes)Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 10:11 AMTo: FriendSubject: dude i got rivered so bad last night.... 12 players left ...blinds at 1k/2k 250 chips ante... i have about 52k in front of me and im in 4th..... i pick up QQ and make it 10k to go from middle position.... the BB moves allin for 25k more... i call.... he has AJd ... flop 4 8 2 turn 3 river A .... down to like 17k .... i scream ... "NOOOOOOOOOOOO .... F*CCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK ... NOT AGAIN.... F*CKKKKKKKKKKKk".... its 12:30 at night.... i hear footsteps coming down to the basement... its my father... he is less than pleased... Dad: "what the hell is the matter with you?? everyone is sleeping...its friggin 12:30"Me: "did you just see that hand????? (he had been watching my table from the upstairs computer)" Dad: "I dont give a sh*t what happened...keep your censored voice down...are you insane?"Me: "go away"Dad: "excuse me??"Me : silence He retreats back upstairs.... meanwhile i had been blinded off and down to 11k.... I pick up AdKd and push.... same guy calls with JJ .... flop AK 3 .... turn J river 3.... bust... If someone was sitting next to me they wouldve been choked to death
Wow, you got this mad over THESE "terrible bad beats..." Man, you must not be very good/experienced in pokerAJ vs. QQ and AK vs. JJ, neither of these is ever a bad beat when you get beat. Hell, in the second one, you had the worst hand when the money got in!?!??!
I think you missed the point.... I understand that losing to AJ with QQ doesnt actually qualify as a horrible beat ... it happens all the time.... the point is this was deep into a 350+ player MTT that I had been playin in for 4 hours or so... I had one more card to dodge and I win a 70k chip pot and head into the final table with a commanding chip lead... with a legitimate chance of winning the $2500 first prize... this was the nightly 8k guaranteed on Full tilt... instead I get crippled and bust out in 11th place and win a whopping $80 for my efforts... Now if I lose to AJ in a cash game with QQ you dont hear me whining... as a matter of fact it wouldnt phase me the least bit... but losing a critical pot on the river at that stage of a large tournament qualifies as a bad beat in itself when you put it in context... plus the only reason i posted this was because I thought you guys would enjoy the exchange with my Dad... and could possibly relate to your own Matasow blowups leaving the people closest to you questioning your sanity... flame away

you carry a deck of cards with you wherever you go, just in case.
I alyway have two decks of Copaq and a small set of chips casue you never know when a game is going to break out. I actually had a 4 person tourny going on in my truck before. You also play too much when you have a tourny on picnic table at 2:30 in the morning at a local park.

TRULY HAPPENED THREE DAYS AGO>When you are in Mexico and leave the concert that you went to Mexico for to re-read a chapter of Sklansky's book on small stakes hold em, because you felt distacted when you read it earlier at the pool drunk. In all fairness to the band I could hear them from the couch in the condo.

When people talk to you, you constantly look for their "tells" to see if they are telling the truth or lying.
HAHA i do this all the time. When i was teaching, i would tell the kids i made my living (jokingly) by telling if people were lieing or not. So not to try to lie to me. I also used it on my gf.

Exactly what I was going to say.. very very true.Also if anyone has ever had fever dreams about poker its actually quite disturbing. Your in a cold sweat and its soo intense and you remember each card that falls. Its crazy.

When you buy something and the cashier says "$9.75" and you raise it to "$15".
You know what sucks about that. You are going to have to take your money back because you didnt make it $19.50 to go. Its just going to be considered a call.

My buddy asked me if i wanted a shot the other night, i said no and just got a beer. After I turned around, he ordered the shot anyway. I was like what are you doing, I dont want another shot. He smiles, and says,"check-raised". Yes, beer went out my fucking nose.

If you put more than half of a raise in can you make it the full amount if you didnt pick up enough chips?
