The games are a little tight compared to party or bodog but overall there are lots of donks. Hell, out last added fish was MVP!!!

You should come before he bust!

Nice title. Where'd ya ever find it?

Caro's Threshold of Misery - Just assumed everyone here knew it. SS2 pg 142.
Sometime during a losing streak or session you may reach a point at which mental and emotional pain is maximized and anything further won't register. Beyond this point, decisions won't seem to matter because the pain is already maximized and anything else that goes wrong can't add to the agony. At these times, in poker and in life, the secret is to keep performing as if you care. Although you can't feel the importance of making quality decisions at the moment, there will come a time when you will feel the importance and be grateful for the good decisions that you make now.

Another of my Caro favorites is "Poker's Stupidest Question: Why didn't you quit when you were $17,000 ahead?" Reason why it's poker's stupidest question: "When you win $50,000, nobody ever asks it."

MVP, looks like OnGame is going to shut down to U.S. players, so I'll be heading back over to FTP soon to share some of the bad beats with you. Unless some of the party crowd goes to UB in which I'll be headed there.

Morning session: 1.6 hrs. +$85. No huge hands but no bad beats so things are feeling much better.

Since joining cardrunners I've been re-raising more than I used to in situations where no one appears that strong. In this hand I re-raised to $12 in OTB and got called my an EP limper. I only had 30 hands on him in PT but his numbers were tight (not tite). I shouldn't even bother with the CB here right? Even if I had JJ/QQ I should be a little scared right?

pozzo, when you are running bad I suggest you leave the high variance plays like reraising with AQs. After your reraise, I dont think there could be a better flop for a CB. Why do you think you shouldnt do it? That flop was as safe as it could be...

Almost finished with this Hollywood $300 reload bonus and then I'll probably be cashing out of there for good. If they offer me the bonus again I might stay for one more round but I'm a little uneasy about keeping a lot of money in a site that might be going under.

Here's my graph for the last week or so, not including a -$500 suckfest at Full Tilt.

Short stacks continue to be invincible to my powers of dominance and deception.

Why do I play these fking things??? I played this donk for 40 minutes and could not catch one hand. He was so bad that I think I actually lost some of my poker skill while playing him.
