I've had some good, some horribly bad, but i remember more of the bad ones for the one fact that the hands i play...if the river is good, i already made my hand anyway and if the river is bad, i'm beat on the river...So the beats make a bigger impression

I like to think overall its been even, maybe leaning toward the bad side a little because a lot of my good hands i win before the river.

I can remember only once and I mean once where the river helped me in my entire poker playing days. I guess its because I don't chase much at all unless I got a high number of outs. On the other hand now the river has killed me over and over and over.

river of dreams my ass....... i always seem to get screwed over on the river, so i vote bad i firmly deny any help i have ever had on the river, claiming that it was a skilled call and i deserved to win the pot.
