and the beat goes on...part deaux

this week i have gotten killed.
it is few and far between that I have actually won a hand where i was ahead when the money goes in. and it not like these people have had great draws or anything...

i guess last night topped it off ... I have Pocket 10's the blinds I raise 4-5 times the BB... everyone folds... the BB was the short stack and he calls for approximately half his stack... the flop is A-Q-6... I am thinking fuck me... the guy immediately goes all in .... his previous performance was less than stellar and he bluffed alot. I figured that he was trying to steal teh pot since he was first to act and was short stacked... i decided to call because of pot odds and how much i would have left if i foldeed vs how much i would have if i called... and cause of it was later in the tournament... low and behold the bluff idiot has 6-8... yes 6-8... i made a great call... and was rewarded with a 6 on the river.that crippled my stack and was now the short stack .. i get a-k the next hand and go all in ... someone calls me with a-3 off and spike a 3.

pocket Q's suck ass to.
Lost to a guy that calls my al li npreflop he has A-K.. i am ok wth losing to A-K.. .but he does not hit a A or a K te board coems 2345... ya he hits the wheel... unbelievable.

another QQ... i raise preflop from 30 to 150... I get 4 callers... the flop is 3-4-8... i was first to act i bet 300. roghtly half the pot. everyone folds except the last guy... he goes all in ... I think about it then say well maybe he has a set ... or maybe he was playing A-8 or something ... maybe he has an over pair like 9's and thinks they are good ... so i call... the guy has 3-4 of spades .. he flopped two pair... i ask him why he called preflop ... he wwas like well everyone one else priced me in i had pt odds to call... WHAT!!! how the fuck does someone ever think that ... i hear that way to much .. ohh pot odds .. oohhh i was priced in ... gimme a fucking break...

7-4 in the BB.. .not raised to me ... the flop was 5-6-3... ya i flopped the nuts... i am tha shit .. .i check... bet... raise by another reraised by another.... I go all in t jsut take it down... first guy folds second folds the last guy calls... what does the moron have 7-9 of course .. he is on a double gut draw and calls my all in ... one of those just lets him tie me ... but of course the 8 hits giing him the straight to the 9... .

FUCK I just needed to get this off my chest ... liekly no one wll read it or care.

I agree that there are streaks. But, recently, I have come to the conclusion that the biggest sites really are run on the up-and-up. I also believe that these sites not only don't have anything shady going on themselves, but really are working as hard as they say they are to stay up on the individuals out there who are cheating us. It's a choice I made, and I will hold on to this belief until I know otherwise.

"One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is: What should I do when I’m running bad?

The first thing you’ll have to realize is that you aren’t the only person in the world who has gone through a bad run of cards. Also, you just aren’t the unluckiest player in the world. Believing that you were just born unlucky is a cop-out. There are many reasons why people go through losing streaks, and ultimately, luck isn’t the main reason, in my opinion.

I believe that the negative mindset that losing causes likely affects decision-making so much that it can turn a winning player into a losing player. Lack of confidence is your biggest enemy when you are running bad.

Here’s one last piece of advice: Don’t tell your opponents how bad you have been running. First of all, they really don’t care and don’t want to hear it, and more importantly, you’ll be giving them a psychological edge over you. You’ll be giving them the recipe to beat you. They’ll likely play much more confidently against you if they know you have been suffering from bad luck, and they’ll make winning even tougher for you.

The real problem with trying to become the perfect poker player is that we are human, and we have to deal with our emotions. Try as we may not to let things at the poker table bother us, everyone has his own threshold of pain, and it’s lower for some than others. How you handle your losing streaks will ultimately determine how well you do in poker over the long haul."
