I've tried to help but I feel its in vain. Declaring you run worse than everyone else you've ever known is just a cop out and allows you to play under the delusion that you don't need to work on your game. I see that in the past 1800 games you are down approximately £1000, which is fine, but its just further proof that the problem lies in your game and not bad luck. Posted by FeelGroggy
how much money im down, does not prove or disprove anything. I could be bad play, but, could also be running bad.
hand above isnt a bad beat. it was an example of a 5% occurance of you getting it in bad. if villain offered to swap your 99 for his QTs you would be correct to snap swap hands. ---- you could be the unluckiest player in the world. a statistical outlier of grand magnitude. or you could be making mistakes. if it makes you feel better [and there is little evidence of that here] to think you are merely unlucky then continue to enjoy the game as you do now. wish you all the best.

this is where people get confused with me, im not stating that I get bad beats, im stating the fact that if I was a little bit luckier I would have done better overall long term.

this is true of every player that has ever played the game.

I struggle sometimes with understanding the contexts of what is being said to me, now I am not sure if your post was a sarcastic dig... just in case it was a cheap shot at me, I just want you to know that I may be down but I am still plenty up on my starting BR.
In Response to Re: i dont expect anything other : actually in games that are ALL about winning flips, and involve no skill whatsoever ie russian roulettes you do pretty well: http://pasteboard.co/1PhP8FHw.png Posted by TeddyBloat
has It got a date of when I played these? I think I played 1 last week, but before that was prob around 2012 maybe?
I was only messing mate. Im not at the laptop so can't search again. Stick at it. You're probably up more lifetime on sky than j am with similar volume. Focus on what you can control (the quality of your decisions) rather than ephemeral and uncontrollable thngs like luck. Gl Posted by TeddyBloat

No I'm not being sarcastic or insulting you. Just stressing the point using statistics that you can't justify blaming bad luck for lack of success and declaring the bigger winners get more lucky, it isn't true. 1800 games is too big a sample for it purely to be bad luck. I'm not sure if you read some of my previous posts where I mentioned what a few problems could be just by reading your posts. Given the way you play- very tight and there being a lot of loose gambley types at low stakes I don't envisage you ever being a big loser at poker, but there is definitely many flaws in your game, your losses aren't purely bad luck.
In case you think thats a dig, it isn't, there's flaws in my game too.

I am at the UKPC, & this just happened in the High Roller....
"so approaching the final table and short-handed Oliver Price was in a nice spot
three shorter stacks on his left and looking to apply pressure
He shoves in the cut off, 9-10 suited covering everyone still to act
On the button Rchard Gryko finds Ace-Kng suited and calls all in
Price spikes an undercard to go to 900,000 and take us to 10 left and the final table bubble"
Then I wandered into Trickett's Room, where there is a BIG Cash Game in progress, all the nosebleed guys.
I'm stood behind Alex Goulder, a good friend of mine, he is SB.
There's a limp, then a raise to £30. Alex makes it £105.
Kid in the Big Blind makes it £425.
Folded back to Alex, who thinks, then sets the Big Blind all-in, for £1,700.
Big Blind was at it, squeezing, & snap folds.
Alex shows J-5.
Then, back at the High Roller, this goes off.....
"So you are stealing 5 handed on the final table bubble with Q-5
That's what Jack O'Neill, 24yo from Nottingham was doing
Keith Johnson called him in the big blind
flop 5-5-5
Yes.
check check. what else is he going to do?
turn Ace
Yes, it got better for Jack
Two stacks go in, Keith has A-x, i didnt see the x in the hubbub, and is knocked out 10th
Jack goes to the final as a 1.2m chip leader"
They are playing good poker, these are standard spots.
There's far more to poker than waiting for big hands & getting it in good. These guys make their own luck.
only the nutz lol
