that's o.k., all you missed was bubble after bubble :/, one of the games it was a fish who hit as always games, called a 6x raise with 9 6, yes 9 6 and flopped a straight...............

More disappointed then anything even though it looks different from the posts above, I just have to let it out so I feel better


bankroll is at 239.50, ugh, again I have never been on this worst of a streak and most lost money wise(I think we were at what 330 or 360 at one time).


I have tried taking some days off in between hoping I can shake the bad run, prayed to the poker gods, everything!

Wish you can tell when this "in the long run" will start again.

It has just been 1 card or 1 race going a different way each time for all the bubbles and we would be well in profit right now, sooooooooooo close, it's like every game full tilt says no your in this game so we are going to screw you by giving the other player what he needs so you can't cash.(mind you same on stars, it has to be a curse I have).

Oh that's not so bad just keep playing your game -- if you want to stop it's up to you.

oh ummmmm o.k., I thought you were going to say your a failure, 20 buy in's down from the hoighest point not bad? that's horrible,lol can't remember last time I like lost 20 buy in's if ever.

Well then keep going for now as sit n go madness this weekend, mind you that could bring out alot of reg's.

As for time, I am suppose to be starting some temporary work on Friday or Monday plus I got some other things going on, I should still be able to play evenings and weekends so pretty much what I am playing now, but just to let you know.


Been working on the other thing this afternoon trying to get it done, tomorrow got a appointment and then like I said some employment, busy busy bee I tell you.

So don't know about this evening as I got to get some things to do which since i am on a bubble kick might be such a bad thing.

[philliivey]

ya so same shit different day, another bubble, you just can`t beat these lucksacks, keep calling and hitting over and over.

I will prob end this soon as I don`t want to lose much more of your money as I can`t have nothing go my way anymore on full tilt.

Just curious Philli, but do you think that playing with someone elses money is having an impact on your game? You seem to be experiencing some extent of guilt/anxiety about the outcome of this process. This is in spite of the fact that GTA hasn't negatively commented on the results you've provided.

I seem to remember that someone on here said they'd staked you in the past, but perhaps this is slightly different in the sense that it's being done more with an audience of peers than previous occasions?

Don't read anything negative into what I'm saying as it's certainly not intended that way.

As far as stopping the stake, that's of course up to you. However, I wouldn't make that decision based on your results thus far. GTA certainly doesn't seem like a shy person and I'm sure he would tell you if he thought this wasn't working out for whatever reason. I'm also sure that he didn't take out a loan on the house to fund this stake. He had the confidence in your ability to put the money on the line and that doesn't appear to have changed in his mind at this point.

Just my thoughts.

NO, it seems 9 high to jack high is the new calling hand and they have been hitting everytime, I just wish it was spread out more where I have a couple of cashes, then maybe a bad game so at least we are still ahead, not like 30 games in a row.

So too tired to play tonight, was thinking of doing so, but bad luck still following me around so might be a good thing, you know that and begging the poker gods for good to happen.

Just need hands to hold up, win some races and maybe more playable opportunities and we are golden, hopefully that is not too much to ask for.

Start the new job tomorrow so I will see how tired I am tomorrow night.

[GTA Poker]

Good luck with the new job.

Have not forgot about you GTA, just been very tired this week, just found out about 2 errors at my new workplace,oooops, Filled out the wrong day on my timesheet and the police station where I did a install, 2 dispensers fell off,sigh what a fucked up day, I might mistake A8 as AA on you,lol

Did not think I would be this tired after going back to work but with the weekend here I will give a look at some games. I have played no poker the last 3 days........

[Gutsy]

lol that reminds me of a hand I had a week or so ago. 3bet with what I thought was QQ... turned out to be Q8. So I went with it and cbet flop to lose more money .

[edit: and yes, I was very tired]

[philliivey]

not looking good still to continue, today is another waste of a day, all bad luck today, did not last even 2 hours at rama, did not last even 15 minutes just now on jokerstars, wonderful day..........
