Default My First Catastrophe of Having an Ego

i lost like 4k at the party 30-60 last night, so jason suggest we go to commerce and i agree, thinking maybe the 100-200 will be as good as it was last time.

we get there and i look at the game - john murphy and hung la are in it, and there hasn't been a flop for 5 hands, everyone just steals blinds. even the people in the game are yelling at the floor "this is the worst game ever, move me to the main game!"

So why did I sit in it?

and why did i lose 4500 before i decided to leave?

I don't know, but i'm pretty sure i'm never doing that again.

I hope.

Been there, when I first moved up from the 100 pot limit to the 200 some really terrible tables were going, but I was in my mind "really good". Well I lost about 1/2 buy just on blinds(played for several hours) before I realized these guys were rocks and unless I flopped quads and they had the nut full house I wasnt going to make any money. Ever since then I pick my spots better and make sure the games are decent before wasting my time and money.

Still burned up about your temporary banning, maybe? Glad to see your avatar back. I showed it to my wife, and she laughed hysterically as she has seen me there many times.
