CrackofmyACE 1 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm just curious to find out what was the longest losing streak some of you FCP'ers have had to endure in during your careers? I am currently on a 3 month run of bad beats and coolers that has seemed to defy all probability. Without getting into the gorey details, lets just say that the nightmare hasn't ended and it's beginning to take its toll on my confidence. This game can really mess with your head! I'd just like some of you to share some stories of horrendous runs that went on for what seemed to be an eternity. I think talking about this shit will help me get through this.... P.S. I'm sure countless threads have been started on this topic, but guess what I don't care. Link to post Share on other sites
koolromeo 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 my worst run was from july until november. i din't lose a lot of money , but i would lose whatever i won by the end of the week every week. i lost to 2 outers over and over. it was scary. the cards seemed to have turned though. i'm sure they will for you too. good luck Link to post Share on other sites
Royal_Tour 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 if you;'re on a 3 month run of bad beats i suggest taking up a new hobby.On another note, my longest run of crap cards in a row is 126 hands.not 1 pocket pair, not one hand containing two face cards, and everyace was a offsuit 6 or worse.

CrackofmyACE 1 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 if you;'re on a 3 month run of bad beats i suggest taking up a new hobby.Maybe. Its definetly negatively affecting my overall play. Even though I'm pretty sure by your comment that you think I'm not losing to bad beats, but rather, ISAP and should give up. Thats ok, because you don't know me or how I play from a hole in the wall. Lets just say I have dozens and dozens of hand histories that will reassure me this is a run of bad luck and not poor play. 1 outters, 2 outters, runner runner this, runner runner that etc etc. Whatever.On another note, my longest run of crap cards in a row is 126 hands.not 1 pocket pair, not one hand containing two face cards, and everyace was a offsuit 6 or worse.I'd rather be dealt non-playable hands for 3months straight than have the 2nd nuts over and over and over and over again. But thats just me. Like they say, 72 offsuit isn't the worst hand in holdem, the second best hand is. Link to post Share on other sites
Smiddywap 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 In terms of bad cards? Around three days.The first day was going fine at first, then I got sucked out on repeatedly and didn't win a hand for a really long time. I logged off because I wouldn't allow it to get to me.The second day was ok for a while (I broke even for the first couple hours) then another string of suck outs came. I logged off because I was slightly peeved.The third day I logged on, folded two hands, then got beat by a gutshot on the river. I logged off because this guy is a damn river rat. Can you believe this guy? Man, this guy is an idiot. Where does this guy get off calling me to the river with a gutshot? Take that, chair. Kick you. Link to post Share on other sites

He is a very solid player and has been getting his money in with the best hands most of the time. I have observed many of his beats.His question was simple. You don't have to flame him.This is another problem with the General Forum. People have honest questions, and they get smart ass comments which have no substance. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJohnson724 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Another thing you guys have to realize is that it's not just bad cards. He is talking of bad beats, etc. Getting your money in with aces against kings, only to get turned by kings. Getting your money in with a set, only to get rivered by a flush. Gross sht like that which happens to all of us. Link to post Share on other sites
CrackofmyACE 1 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Lets define bad cards for the purposes of this discussion:-KK from the button running into AA in the big blinds over and over.-Repeatedly getting it allin on the turn as an 85-96% favorite and losing on the river to a 4, 3 or 2 outter.- Getting stacked with bottom set vs top set for your buy in a few times.- Flopping second nut boat only to lose to nut boat after you both slowplay flop and turn and get it all in on the river.- Having every single draw against you imaginable hit, no matter how much you bet to price out your donkish opponents.Just a few examples of situations I've run into over the last few months. I think this defines a bad run, not having to muck rags for 6 hours and getting blinded off. Those of you who've experienced this know what I'm talking about. Link to post Share on other sites

Kantian 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Worst run ever?See: Daniel NegreanuHow many times have we seen him get put out of tournaments this year when he had the best cards, or when he made expert play. Then we had to listen to the moron jackweed retards who start threads like "is it just me or is daniel kind of slipping on his game i mean seriously i like DN a lot but he hasnt won a tournament in a long time i think mtv is getting to his head and all the fame"Those who've been with FCP longer than a few months can easily relate. I'm so damn thrilled he won himself a tournament, because his play during the other tournaments merited a win also. It's about time he got paid for his efforts... now if he can just start making chan and ivey go broke in the big game : )Great job by the way, DN. Everyone thought you were the underdog, but you were always the favorite. Link to post Share on other sites

Kantian 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Yeah hey does anyone else think online poker is riggedim just sayin man its impossible some of the bad beats i've seen its rigged to make more money.And gus hansen got hit by another train.I also have a new strategy where you only play unsuited cards because when you hit the rainbow flop the implied pot odds are huge.Oh and I'm a pro poker player, I just like to stick to low limits because I dont want to claim the profits on my taxes.And to seal the nail on this thread's coffin, you can't argue with me because i have a degree in physics and philosophy and yuo are just not smart enough to comment intelligently. ... k, i think i have covered all of the directions in which this thread may go next. Please add if necessary. Link to post Share on other sites
