Default After 110 $55s w/49% ITM 61% ROI, my luckbox batteries finally died

0 for 8 today in my 1st set. couldnt win any showdown and i actually had great hands. (AA cracked, set vs set, he rivers a flush vs my straight, etc). Looks like my luckbox reverse polarized and is now helping my opponents.

Wanted: Luckbox repairman... Will pay top $ [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

as for my stats during the 49% ITM, 61% ROI run
1st: 23 (21%)
2nd: 18 (16%)
3rd: 13 (12%)
4th: 9 ( 8%)
7th: 15 (14%) [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

And during this HOT run, i sprinkled in a couple of dozen 109's but am down $300 there. Apparently, my luckbox model only works in the $55's.

Wanted: Luckbox that works at the 109's. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The problem with high effect luckboxes is that they often burn out.

I am very happy with my new low effect luckbox. Sure, it doesn't amaze me often but it quietly gets the job done at a decent pace.

If I had a dollar for every time some monkey rivered a flush on the bubble I'd have like twenty trillion dollrs by now.

Nothing worse than connecting with the flop and watching the chips get pushed to the monkey with J7s.

I also need a luckbox repair man. After I was up $1500 after 140 30+3 SNG's, I now have managed to drop about 20 buyins in the last 40 games!
I don't think that I started playing worse, it's just that when my opponent has a 30% chance of winning the hand, he is definitely taking that chance currently!

I believe this happens to everyone. Let's face it, PartyPoker is rigged. I am thinking of writing "PartyPoker Crack II, Crushing the 55s". I will advice people to open an account using a special "bonus code" I give them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], play 55 55s, then cashout and close the account. 4 out of 5 people will have a 50+% ROI. If you happen to be the one unlucky person out of five, let me know and I will send you a special "bonus code" for EmpirePoker so you can try it again. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

But seriously, I was up $1000 after 35 55s. This was reduced to $390 17 SnGs later. I pasted some of the hand histories of the 17 SnG run in to PokerGrader and it suggested I should consider suicide. My luck was so bad I was afraid I would F that up.
