Re: minus 581 bets.
That's really bizarre. I remember many years ago when I first started playing poker at a private club (15/30), I was winning pretty good overall but yet on Saturdays, I was at one point down over 300 bets. My conclusion at the time was that something was happening on Saturday's that affected my winrate at the game. So I stopped playing Sat.
Could your results be due solely to variance? Or is there something else also going on? Maybe your style of play isn't meshing well with Party's games. Maybe a little paranoia is warranted. Maybe someone has slipped a Trojan into your computer that transmits your hole cards? I know there's another thread somewhere here that talks about that, tho I don't know how reliable it is.

As we all know, the general texture of a game varies from location to location (live and online.) I was wondering if maybe something about Bike's style of play changed when he started playing really high on other sites and thinks he may not have re-adjusted to the party game. Or maybe he was just not playing his A game on party, etc... Or maybe he cashed out recently...

Re: minus 581 bets.
I don't know. If you want you can say I'm not a winning player at those 50/100 and 100/200 games and so those bets are just losing bets not downswing bets, and I'm sure I"m not a big winner in that game, but I got sucked out on so many times in those games it was incredible.
Maybe account a few bets to playing too many tables while talking to people on aim. I never get pissed these days at what's going on so not 'f this' kind of tilt. Maybe a little gunshy but really not even that so bad. And like I said I'm winning on other sites/skins so it's not totally horrible. I have lost 6 of the last 7 days though so that's getting a little sickening. Just tons and tons of days like today...1k hands 35/42 went/won at showdown stats. Luckily I don't need the money for anything and my bankroll is super inflated for the limits I'm currently playing and I think that helps me handle it a lot better...but it still makes poker dreadful kinda and just not fun...so it's easier to play civ 4 instead.

Re: minus 581 bets.
have you ever had anything worse than 200+ at anything higher than 5/10 prior to this? Just wondering as your rise in limits was quick to say the least.
losing sucks btw. it messes with your head so friggin much, hang in there man.

Re: minus 581 bets.
Not to belabor an issue that keeps coming up, but to what extent do you think this is a function of the opposition improving rather than just running bad?
