Stop... you're going to make me believe in the supernatural. I should act, one of the 'donks' had pocket 10s 4 times, he always went all in, and hit a set all 4 times.

And I'm not complaining. I lost 2 buyins last night. I added 5 names to my buddy list. They were all the biggest winners... they all played over 50% of all hands, they would raise with A-6 suited, hit their six... go all in... get multiple callers.. and win every time. It was bizarre.

It really makes me think.. when I flop the inside straight draw... 4 outs... I should go all in, at least tonight. Because if I could shut my brain down and do it... I thought it would come. I just couldn't get the nerve to play like these guys.

Okay.. I'm babbling.

Yep.

Sorry to be a jerk, but it makes me sad when I see reasonable people veering dangerously close to a "party is rigged!" thread. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

You're not being a jerk at all. And I don't for a second think things are rigged.

I know this sounds egg-heady... but I realize its a statistical probability that there will be days where the underdog will hit more then one would expect. ie... according to probability theory, one would expect a night where you will see a lot of bad calls rewarded.

I just wish there was some way to know in advance if its going to be one of those nights.

The problem is that after playing for 3 hours last night, I don't have any substative hands to post... all my hands were pretty straightforward. Like... some maniac raises (which I put him on an ace/broadway... he would raise $2 with high ace and $4 with a pocket pair... very readable) I call with pocket 8s. The flop comes 3 rags. I check to the raiser, he bets half the pot, I go all in, he calls. Turn and River both bring Qs. He takes it down with AQ. You know what I mean? We all know how to play them.

So, with no interesting hands, we babble about the full moon and such [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I expect to make it back tonight
