In Response to Giving Up : Having played poker now for many years,Bryan and i have experienced every piece of both good luck and bad on here and other sites.We never come on forums telling the members when we have been very lucky all week,and equally, we dont come here moaning when we have had bad luck.Nobody has a god given right to make profit all the time ,no matter how good they think they are,and you can try and work out allday why people make crazy calls,but youll never find an answer.It takes time to mature in this game,but when you do,youll just get on with it .Dont forget,poker is 80% luck,dont blame yourself for bad beats because you cannot do anything to alter luck.Kind regards Bryan oryan and i Posted by bryan1960
You must be very old Bryan for someone so wise ... True, absolutely true !! +1
I'm on the list Can't buy a win on cash and can't shift the downward momentum. Gonna be glad to get back to work so I have less hours of temptation to lose in. Posted by phil12uk

Alana over on another site... i gave her £40 roll.. they gave £16 free... she has already made £45 and withdrew the profit. Sat with £20 last night at 20p, double up..;)
Sorry to hear of your misfortunes boon, just goes to show this variance thing can and does happen to anyone and everyone. I remember you saying in the chat once that you had never played live. I dont know if that was a joke or not, but if not, I would recommend it. Will give you a break from the screen and you would probably destroy it
im now a member of the run bad club, what i cant understand is why do i run so bad when i play a biger game? last night i wiped out all profit from this month.
ul frrchips. nl1000 is a bit of a big jump from ur usual haunts aint it Posted by OMahonyO
yes its a tad outside my roll, LOL. i only sat to play this guy, just too much value not to play, would love to know how the game finished or who eventualy took this guy out.
Hi Mr Mahony, no Ive never been to a casino, keep putting it off. I will have to make the effort soon! I hear its good fun.
And Hi Freechips, I was actually watching this game when the set of 10s got busted yesterday, fully discusting. What more can you do?! For some reason the maniacs have been let loose this weekend, and theyve got cash to burn. Just for this I think you are new capitan of the run bad club.

V.unlucky - you might get on top of the pots with that one Although you seem to be doing ok if that was your monthly profit
Nope, everyone is losing, & having a chunter about it. It appears not to have occurred to many that if someone is losing, then someone must be winning......
All of you guys are making me feel better this morning. Im struggling to break even lately and find that depressing, but to see so many respected names admitting to having a really rough time surprises me, Variance is a worm that will turn, just make sure you keep your game together for when it does.
In Response to Re: Giving Up : Nope, everyone is losing. Apparently. You, Sir, are a breath of fresh air, but I fear your comment will whoosh almost everyone. I think I may possibly have added - "anyone out there actually enjoying their poker?"....... Negativity is meat & drink to poker players it would seem. Posted by Tikay10
Cheers Tikay - As on my profile , the only advice i can give is to ENJOY. I only ever play if and when i when i want to now
If i don,t feel like playing (which isn,t very often) i just leave it alone and do something else
