SweetDaddyFreak 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Okay first off I know there is a Bad Beat and Strategy Forum but I need some advice. Lately I have been running cold, not in poker but on airplanes. I have had about 6 plane trips in the last month and 4 outta 6 times I have been seated right in front of a screaming baby. No joke, I'm not sure how it has happened. I recently got back from New York and on the plane ride back, again, I had not only a screaming toddler, but a toddler who would yell for hours on end about wanting apple juice.Okay, I have gone outside my bankroll before and it has almost broke me. I now have proper bankroll management and will no longer go for private jets or first-class. I have to stick to Coach until i move up. I also understand that seat selection, according to Mike Matusow, is 80% of all plane rides. I keep putting my money in with a 95% chance no to sit directly in front of a screaming child but keep getting sucked out on. Can someone help me, what do I do next. Should I approach a different airline or even purchase tickets sooner? Link to post Share on other sites

mosley 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 on my last plane trip to vegas, two friends and i played a series of tourneys (NL). i did well, one friend did not do well. i ended up heads up with him at $T200 vs. $T14 000. he said, after losing every tourney, that if he lost this one, he was done with poker for good. sadly, for him, i came back to win, battling a broken spirit through blind aggression (there are no friends in poker) and turned him off poker (with the help of a few dirty vegas suckouts), maybe forever. oh well... chip and a chair,planes, bad beats, blah...edit: variance will deliver you a seat beside a horny swedish model in a few flights, ride it out.

Konidias 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Get there early and get an exit row seat. At least that eliminates the possibility of having a crying kid right in your row.I'm not sure you meant that he would have a space inbetween him and the kid... but I got the impression that you meant he could open up the exit hatch and throw the kid out. I don't know, maybe it's just my sick mind at work. Link to post Share on other sites

phlegm 6 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 snakes are almost as scary as arabs That may be politically incorrect, but be honest. If someone came on the plane wiyh 5 snakes would that really scare you more than if 5 arabs walked on board? Link to post Share on other sites
