prefectly timed posting tilt. i need the read as i have just entered a downswing. thankfully it isn't full fledged...yet, but i'm down 40BBs. you know you're dancing with doom when your overcard PFR are getting cold called and people repeatedly hit their 3 outer on the flop or call the flop when you do hit and get their 2 outer on the turn.

guess what that means? BREAK TIME [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Yeah, same here. As a hobbyist, I play short sessions a few times a week. That seems to keep big swings in either direction at bay to some extent...but had a poop-tastic couple of sessions last weekend. Started to come back out of it, but blech.

I thought this would be a rant thread or joke thread, but looks like good reading...Thanks!

oooh yeah i've been in worse, but you ever get that creepy feeling in your spine as you keep seeing suckout after suckout in the same session? or none of your draws are coming in?

it's like knowing you're getting sick but you just keep going regardless? calm before the storm-type stuff [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
