Will see if I am awake enough to try again tonight GTA, bad luck keeps following me still, my last game on stars last night a guy called my all in with no draw or anything with J6 off, not even a freakin pair!!!! and he hit runner runner for a straight, like gimme a fucking break 1 time, I am surprised by how tired I have been since working again, I thought only a couple of days and I would be back to some energy,lol but the rest of the week does not look busy and then I am done helping out with this contract till next month.

I went over some poker videos again last night as I am trying to get some confidence back, it has been hard to even open a game after this horrid run, just win a race and here and there, have a hand hold up or hit a million outs is all I need to get us back on track.

1st game back and got a cash GTA, only a 3rd place but I will take it, I swear there was some colluding going on though, the other 2 players were both Germans and there was some funny stuff, but happy with a cash.

back to back cashes, this time a 2nd

once again..................


never mind all gone and now another losing day, still all lucksacks on full tilt, latest is a 1 outer on the river, when I actually get a hand to play that does not run into a bigger hand


cherished the 3 hours of happiness I had

back to 2 outer this time

How hard do you have to work to recoup the losses at your local 1/2 game GTA?

[philliivey]

well I tried again and you guessed it another bubble, guy flopped 2 pair against me, I had alot of outs but of course could not hit, I don't know what else to do man, by the time I get something playable I either run into a bigger hand or some bullshit happens(2 outer, 1 outer, runner runner etc etc) like every game now.

I should have called a shove with 1010 earlier I guess and maybe race(prob lose) and out in 5th but according to icm I should have called, can't run it at same time as playing according to conflicting reports.


Down 55.00,( which should be over 100 in profit if I did not have so many bubbles) I can either ship back what's left of the bankroll or go back to the 2 dollar level try to get some cashes and move back up, but I have lost faith in full tilt after this run and I find it hard to even open a game now, just looking at my graph on hold em manager and I am down about half my overall profit and it's like all my hard work to try and get going the right way and now nothing is going right and am going back down.
