I have no idea how you guys can take this in limit. This was happening on 3 tables for over 4hrs tonight. I had unreal cards (26% VP$IP with over 20% of my 570 hands grp 4 or better) and was busted all night. Can't drive anyone out. It was making me crazy. I had a PFR of over 10%.

I sit down with more than 5BB is what I do. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Edit: Be glad you saved yourself 21 cents.

Umm, I called his last $0.29 all in. I had $30+ left.

I'm a tard, that was earlier. This was my last hand of the session. Couldn't take any more.

It got so bad the other at the table were complaining about his calls. PT has him at a LAP.

This was by far my worst night of bad beats at AP. I just bought PT and I'm ready to burn it. Now, I can't rationalize away I was too loose and playing crazy. I kept playing sane (how I don't know).

Doesn't seem like you can punish such crazy play enough. I won most of the hands I took to SD (55%). Most only got MY bets. When I had this nut raising, re-raising, etc to cap the round he'd hit a miracle (rainbow flop, no pairs, runner runner to inside straight) for the win.

I think what really torqued me was looking at PT after this 4hr marathon of torture looking for leaks. I lost $50 tonight - $37 to this one idiot, $13 to another idiot, the rest was spread around fairly well.

Looking at this guys 100+ hands he was waxing rocks, TAG, mice, etc. He won $150+ net. I know he can't be up long term.

Thanks for the venting.

There are plenty of other tables at AP, yes? People here have chastized me for "running from bad luck" because I switch tables a lot. I just prefer not to stay in a negative situation.

Before anyone jumps on me again the question was "How do you guys deal with this?" That's how I deal with it. I leave and find greener pastures at another table.

Honestly, what works for me is to get up and walk around my chair. If that doesn't work I change deck colors, or if I'm at Paradise change drinks -- the Chichi is my lucky one!

If that doesn't work I get a couple of live chickens from the Haitian woman that lives next door, then it's off the the graveyard for a sacrifice! The key is after you have slaughtered the chickens you have to swing them counterclockewise presicely 7 times. This is important b/c if you swing them clockwise your dick won't work for a week.

Ok, you do all that and then stay at that table and lose some more money. I'll be at another table winning some pots. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

How much greener than a nut case calling with anything can it get?

I was playing 3 tables. PT had 3/4 of the players as dice, taz, etc.

All that money sitting there ....

There has been some real pwnage laid down in this thread.

If that nut case and those other bad players are taking my money and giving it to everyone else then I'm leaving. I'm not sticking around and putting in more money in the hope that things will turn around soon. Sure, if I played those same guys long enough I would take all their money but who's to say I won't run out of money or patience before that turnaround comes.

It's much easier for me to go find another nutcase that isn't winning. If you'd rather hang in there because it's a "good table" then that's your prerogitive. You asked how I deal with that situation and I told you and look at all the trouble it's caused. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Just keep playing solid TAGish poker. That loud sucking sound will go away eventually 8).
