Just take a breath and go bike riding. Then come back and get more bad beats [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So when it's running awful for you, how do you generally respond? Do you play more hands and try to let the law of averages work itself out? Do you take a day or two off and come back fresh and not feeling like the cards owe you a break or two? Do you change sites or game sizes for a while?

I close one eye and put my thumb and finger together on the photo and say, "I'm crushing your head! I'm crushing your head!"

Don't do this live too often though...it seems to annoy people a little bit.

I like to burn things.

If that doesn't help, I just take a couple days off or switch games. It's amazing how a few hundred hands of O8 can help you deal with being sucked out on.

Uh.......why would you go all-in with quad 9's on the turn? Are you afraid of someone catching a one-outer? Sounds like you're losing money in the long run with that play.

I flopped quad 7's in Omaha hi/lo and someone rivered their fourth King, wasn't too pleasant. But then again, I flopped a well-hidden straight flush and someone picked up quad 3's on the turn and wasn't going to fold.

Well, I bet about 40% of the pot on the turn, was sure he'd call it, then he raised pretty significantly trying to semi-bluff his flush and gutshot draw, I came over the top all-in and he was committed, and of course he hits his miracle one-outer...

Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt it not matter what happened at all prior to a random event (like the cards dealt in different hands) so really playing more hands could make y ou go bust bc luck doesn't owe you anything, or you could get your big rush of cards.

it makes me feel better when i lay a bad beat on someone else for a change. hell, just tonight i cracked pocket Kings when i hit a 2 outer on the river to make a set of Tens. sweet justice!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
