Re: I\'m going to puke (warning, bad beat post)
 

bodhi, this sucks. I mean... something like this happens to me too, but getting this kind of beat with 34BB pot just sucks. Oh well, think this way... You just made deposit to your saving account! maybe not...

Actually dice, I think you are generally the one laying these kinds of beats. lol

Re: I\'m going to puke (warning, bad beat post)
 

Ok its not a holdem beat, but after this one, I needed a nap.

Dealt to Hero [ 2c Tc 4h 2h ]
Folder calls [$4].
Villan calls [$4].
5 Folds.
Hero checks.
** Dealing Flop ** [ 5d, 2d, 2s ]
Hero bets [$13.30].
Folder folds.
Villan raises [$53.20].
Hero raises [$159.60].
Villan calls [$119.70].
** Dealing Turn ** [ 4c ]
Hero bets [$356.80].
Villan is all-In.
Hero calls [$56.98].
** Dealing River ** [ 6d ]
Hero shows [ 2c, Tc, 4h, 2h ] four of a kind, twos.
Villan shows [ Ac, 4d, 3d, 9h ] a straight flush, six high.

Also ended my session like you, maybe it wont make you feel bad about your beat.

Hi Bodhi,

I'm not saying that you are asking for sympathy, but if you are, let me lay some truth on you. No one here should have sympathy for you, and you shouldn't feel sorry for yourself either. This statement sounds harsh, but its the best thing I could ever say to you.

I want you to visualize yourself losing most of your bankroll. Realize that even though you might have a positive winrate and a reasonable S/D in the games that you play, you also have a certain risk of ruin. You know that this ROR exists. Visualize it occuring. Then visualize yourself saying loudly and with confidence "who gives a fcuk?" or something to that effect.


If you are unable to say that, then you shouldn't be playing poker as anything more than a very casual hobby.

Its good that you quit the game on that day though. It requires strength and realism to admit to yourself that you can't handle losing to a two outer on the river in a big pot versus a guy that had no business in the hand to begin with.

Best regards,
Snowball

Point taken. Thank you for exposing me to the honest, brutal truth of this game. I think I may quit online poker alltogether and start playing in drunken home games again.

What's button's and MP's sn's?

Re: I\'m going to puke (warning, bad beat post)
 

10 minutes ago i flopped 3 10 10 holding pocket 3's into a raiser with JJ...J turn. It's been 4 weeks of this...haven't puked yet but it's on the way.

Re: I\'m going to puke (warning, bad beat post)
 

I mean come on, can no one realize this is a phony hand? "fours" is misspelled as "fourse" at one point, and the OP's final hand is incorrectly displayed as "sixes full of sevens".

the hand never happened...

and incidentally, I have had two-day stretches 4-tabling 10/20 with more bad beats than you've had in your whole career. but you know what? I don't care. my banker doesn't care. girls at the bar don't care. the clerk at the Hermes store doesn't care. at the end of the day, I either take home the cash, or I don't. everyone in this thread should really sack the eff up.

Big deal this happened to me twice last week.
