30 minutes of frustration...

I was at a 2/4 PP table tonight that for about half an hour, just about every street was capped four handed. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch a winner. Check it out.

What kind of answers are you expecting? Sympathy? Don't post cold card runs or bad beat stories. Nobody cares. And don't post so many hand histories at the same time.

Sorry.

Who are you, the posting nazi? I know this post has little to no useful content, and I don't care. Everyone is entitled to a useless rant now and then.

Don't take [censored] so seriously man. Geez.

Everybody gets bad beats, and worse than those. Bad beat posts suck, if you want empathy you should empathize with the 990:1 beating I got last night for 12BB.

raccon · #5 05-29-2005, 12:26 PM

You should remember that the bad beats are what are keeping the fish coming back again and again, since they believe their unsucessful play is due lack of luck not skills. If you face few bad beats, take a break if you can't handle it - go for a walk or ride few miles with your bicycle. That's what I do.

maybe they should start a bad beat forum. people would feel get the carthartic fix they need, and people could ignore them if they wanted.
