carp2440 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm 21 yrs old, and have been playing poker for about 3 years now. I usually play $10-40 tournaments throughout my city, with players ranging from 8-40. Plus I play in casinos (1-2 cash, 50-100 tournies) and have been doing really well over the past few year. But this entire year has hit a brick wall. I cannot get anything going, nor can I get any decent finishes anymore. I read Harrington's books, and took a few months off to rethink my strategy. About a month ago, I came back to poker. But still I cannot make any money. I feel like Im doing the right things and making the correct moves, and plays. My confidence has decreased dramatically, and Im not sure what I should do. Does anyone have any suggestions, because I used to clean up games, and now I struggle to place. Also, I think the cards are playing a huge factor. I havent seen a decent run of cards in a long time, and always seem to be a big favorite in alot of hands, and then get sucked out on. If anyone can give me some advice, that would be appreciated. Thanks for your time. Link to post Share on other sites

Steamed Rice 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 i know exactly what u meanim 18 and i used to go on a sick run and now despite putting money in with the best hand and got sucked out on a lot for a whileit happens to everyone, as long as you put money in with the best hand, you will be a long term winnerhappened to me a while ago and i considered quitting but i realized it was just a bad runa break would possibly help, but you said youre making all the right moves and such so i see no reason to stop Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierAlum 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I think every member of the forum should now laugh at this troll. ahhahahhahahahhahaha.If you look at his previous posts, Carp used to ridicule players for posting about $5 tournament rail posts, and was very rude.In fact, he even declared that if given the opportunity he could ft a $5 tournament within 3 tries. I attempted to bet him $ on this, but he backed down.Since he was so rude to sincere posters, I think we should all be rude to him when he is trying to be sincere.This poster is a troll and lets all laugh............hahahhahaaaaaaaaaahahahah.

InertGrudge 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Is the reason why you said you're 21 because winning and losing streaks are different whether you're 21 or 85?I'm 21 too...I win. Just saying. Obviously I rock. And you suck. Link to post Share on other sites
