Deja Vu Again :o) (low content bleating)

[naphand]

Are there clues to how our session will progress in the first few hands we play? Are we given indicators of when to quit? I would like to think so.

Sometimes it just seems that when you flop a set with JJ from your first SB, everyone folds to you and the BB folds the Jxx flop it's like you are destined to make jack-squat for the session. On this day everything was going fine until these two hands came up, and then suddenly everyone is taking turns to bitch slap me off the felt...

Across the table is a monumentally bad player (Tubifex Worm) who attaches himself firmly to rotten cards. He is losing quite rapidly and I am waiting for my turn to take his chips.

Note the timeline, less than 20 minutes apart, same PF 3-bet, same River card...hmmm...now check the pockets. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I left half-an-hour later after losing 2 buy-ins, Tubifex's stack was exactly equal to the value of these two pots. I have to go cry in my cup of tea now... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
