What a Joke!

My luck has been so rotton that I was considering to lay off of poker for a while...I was in a ring game with only one opponent, so it was a Heads-up ring game...he beat me 30 times in a row...if a pair is out on the board he would have the tripps...a gut shot laid out and he had the gut card...if I had 2 pair, he had two higher pair, he almost always had top card on the flop for top pair, if I had top pair, he also had top pair with a higher kicker...if I hit tripps, he would flush...30 hands...unbeleivable.

My bad luck continued on in all the other games that I started playing and I was getting very discusted...however I was able to squeeze out a couple of wins...don't ask me how...I don't know, I just did.

Then I decided to start keeping a record with my premium cards, because they don't hit and I wanted to see how bad it was, I started to keep the record last night and recorded both wins and losses with premium hands...the following is the list that I started:

Pockets......times.........Hits............Won/Lost

AKo..............3.............0.................. .L3
KK................3.............0................. ..L3
KQ................5.............0................. ..L5
QQ................1.............0................. ..L1
JJ..................1.............0............... ....L1
TT.................1.............0................ ...L1
KJs................1.............0................ ...L1
ATs...............1.............0................. ..L1
A9s...............1.............0................. ..L1
A9o...............1.............0................. ..L1
A7s...............1.............0................. . L1
A6s...............1.............0................. ..L1
JTs................1.............0................ ...L1

Now its seems pretty incredible...how can one player go through that many hands without even hitting one card or winning one hand with some of those cards...I did not leave any premium hands that I was dealt off the list....my mosters were either all-ins pre-flop or a minimum of 4 x's BB pre-flop and bet heavy untill the river, or I knew for sure that I lost the hand.

Now don't get me wrong, I did hit some hands (not premium though), but most were on the flop after my hand hit the muck pile or when I folded at the flop or turn and my cards would then hit at the flop or turn.

I just got out of a SnG and some of my hands are in the above list when I decided to record the hands that I was winning with, as I said I did win a couple of SnG's with my bad luck.

What you will see is a joke...I started to play junk hands and play a mind game, which is what I have to revert to when my luck turns to shit.As you will see I also did get lucky with a couple of premium hands (could not believe the KQ hand...I never hit KQ)

What joke with that crap...and I didn't leave off any hands unless I folded pre-flop after a raise or I folded at the flop.

Now, not only did I win this game...I dominated the game from almost beginning to end!...you figure it out!

CS, The Big Man wants you to be just like Gus Hansen. And that ain't all bad. The guy has his own poker site, endorsements, etc. Just look at this as a sign that you're going to be one of those guys who can win with any two cards.

We missed you on Poker Shootout tonight. Fess is stockpiling funds on that site. Damn...

So u lost 3 straight KK and all those other premium hands ? If i was in your shoes i would stay away from poker for a week or so...
