I'm really trying to improve my game by reading books, visiting web sites for poker strategy, talking to winning players and playing online small ball, just to get the feel for these various "new ways" of playing. I'm getting the hands in with the best, being drawn out, playing flips and losing. When you're the bug and the windshield is your opponents, well... Brace yourself. You're gonna die!
Lately, I'm a 400 pound splattered bug. (Sometimes in poker, players are always the bug, games where no matter what you do, we can't win a wooden knickle and we know we're headed to that window) In other words, Poker is the Devil.
All these bad luck poker flips happened here, I dunno maybe they built this casino on an ancient Indian burial ground? http://www.mohegansunpokeratpoconodowns.com
Coin Flip Hands -
The coin flips in poker is where I'm losing bigtime, heads up hands with me holding AK/button, being called, and pushed on the flop/or pushed pre-flop by a small stack BB with 55. The coin flips cost me huge this past month. Pretty sure I can't do anything about these situations.
I'm due for a streak of flips that are going to go my way. Right?
See how it works on you? I know I'm due, but I feel like it's always going to be this way.. (Oh, the pain!) When you're short on cash and you like paying your bills, it get's old. I'd go bonkers if I had a 10K + bankroll for poker tournaments. Millions.. Forgettabouuuttt it..
Don't even get me started on pocket A's and K's this past month. They were magnets for small "sets." Little pairs , 3's, 4's and 5's all hit huge and played me like a fiddle. Players dug in deep and went runner runner on my to the river straight.
Well, I'm not going to go on and on about this, the cards will turn. Sure they will. I'm just putting it out there to share my pain a little and to explain to newer players that "It happens" - Shit happens. I'm putting this out here, placing it in a box and throwing it overboard.
I'm playing poker a long time, latley I'm being forced into a limited income (bad back after a big fall) has my pockets short from time to time. Again, I'll stick with paying my bills thanks very much. (seems like the right thing to do) Point is, we all hit these dry spells in poker. Some say to play right through them, that's fine for the Richy rich folks. Not for us PO folks.
Hope you're winning your flips guys.. If not, give it time; this too shall pass.
If it doesn't soon change? Does anyone know of any Voo Doo witches that can take this spell of me? Maybe a priest can preform an exorcist? I dunno, something.
