A serious thread about online poker

I am doomswitched. Someone please get the site to turn my doomswitch back off.
 
I am staying around even. I guess my highlight was a 16th out of 300 in a guaranteed tourney on full tilt. I was 2nd in chips made a poor play and then fucking tilted out in 3 hands
 
I am fascinated by the statistics I am putting up.

I am not going to bore anyone with the actual numbers, but I am reasonably certain that among players with the sample size I have put up, I am probably among the bottom 3% in terms of luck.

This is based on checking actual statistical results in HEM, not just making some shit up or based on my "feeling" of How I run.
 
Well I am improving I think? Ive been playing the 2 dollar 180 sng at fulltilt. I consistently finish like 30 which pisses me off to no end. Ill be rolling in the top 10 in chips then get beat in a killer hand like 3 of a kind vs full house was the last one. Anyway I need to work on the range of hands i play I think. can one of you experienced folks comment on what kind of cards I should be raising with preflop vs calling vs folding.

There is a new poker forum that I know of that is looking for new members, It only has 1 + the admin at the moment. Would be really good to get some good experienced players to come and join as members. Also looking for some moderators for the poker forums and some of the other forums.

Haven't played in ages, just starting to get back into it. Took a run of bad beats but turned it around a bit today, got 4th in a 180 (only $2.20 though).

nguboi: what actually happened in the hand? That sounds sick.
 
Man. I am just stunned by recent events.

Let me tell you, any of you who think you've had a bad run at some point?

You really have no idea what kinds of mathematical outliers are possible.

Poker is a depressing game.
 
lol has anyone heard about the state of Kentucky suing Full Tilt Poker among other various sites?

source

Kick this stupid fucking state out of the union please. In fact, can we just separate into two different countries? All the backward redneck hick states who want to stay in the 18th century can do so, and the rest can move forward and try realistic approaches to policy.
 
Hows everyone doing? No one's posted here in a while. Since I've finished classes, I started playing poker again on a regular basis. But it's so fucking frustrating. I don't put in that much volume and the bad beats just suck that much more. It's literally fucking ridiculous. I don't understand how you're supposed to win.

Volume. Bad beats happen to everyone. In the long run you will win if you consistently put yourself in good spots. You can't always rely on winning all ins even if you are ahead. You need to pick up chips without showdowns. If you are not putting in volume, you can't expect conssitent results.

I have been dabbling online again and getting some decent small scores. I also had a good score in a live MTT tournament.
 
Been on a sikly long break even stretch... caught up from my 1k dswing in sngs, nearly lol... shipped a donkamont for 2k

now just grinding the 20hu sngs and building up roll again, on stars.
