Default Commerce 100-200 report. Not pretty . . . .

I'll keep it short. The Commerce is a fantastic facility, all it's cracked up to be. 1-2 game is 3 to 4 times easier than the PP 1-2 game, IMO.

Question is . . . why do i suck so bad?

Unfortunately, just can't seem to win . . . been here 3 days, my focus is off because of the horrors of what is happening down south. Disgusted with this god-awful administration and the morons who run it.

Just can't focus as something as trivial as poker. I'll take my 8k loss and hit the road.

Sorry I don't have a better summary, anything of value to add. Just been a rough couple of days.

hi TSP, what do you think your longterm hourly rate in that game should be? im interested for my own personal reasons. what about a player who is actually good? (jk [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

no it's not. it can be tough and quite bad but in general it's an excellent game for such a high limit.

You played 3 days of 100/200 and lost 8k. If you played 8 hours a day at 35 hands / hour, you played 840 hands total. You lost 40 big bets in 840 hands for an irrelevant win rate of -4.76 BB / 100 hands. What are you boohooing about? Isn't losing 3 days in a row at live play ridiculously common?

That game can vary a lot. However, even the live ones are tricky. You'll be put to the test. Think about it this way: where do the best players in the world play? LA. This is the biggest hold em game that they spread, usually (yeah, there's a 3/6 game, too). Do the math.

Not boohooing, donk, I just dont like it when real-world problems and human suffering takes my level of play a notch below what it needs to be successful in this game, during a trip I have been planning for several months.

Oh yeah, some cards would have helped, but no excuses. Just not mentally prepared to play successful hi-limit holdem.
