Definitely shouldn't have played today...

[Talking Poker]

I took so many ridiculous beats today, I can't even believe it. All in $200+10 HU SNGs. I'm not going to post them all, because no one should have to read through them. But take my word for it - it was absolutely brutal. MULTIPLE 2 outers, 4 outers, 5 outers, 3 outers... multiple.

There morons were HORRIBLE players who couldn't give their money away fast enough... the problem is, the poker gods disagreed and rewarded them for their shitty play over and over again.

I know it's part of the game, but my God it's annoying when it's just one after another like this.

I went 6-13 on the day. Wheeee.... No joke, if the math worked out like it should have (meaning I still lose 1 in 5 times I'm a 4:1 favorite), I think I would have been at least 12-7, and probalby more like 14-5. Fucking ridiculous.

In case anyone has bothered reading this much (I'm just venting), here's one lovely Kiss of Death hand for you. This is one spectacularly donkalicious turn call right there, kids.

Let me know next time you plan on running bad, I'll jump on and you can feel better about at giving it to a donk you know.

How's your PokerEVSoftware graph looking for '08?

It seems you've been getting beat up for six months solid now, maybe longer. The good news is the Fed can't slash interest rate on Slansky bucks, so those must be accumulating nicely.

Individual match HU variance is a very, very sick thing. Remember, each of these beats equaly 2 buy ins (win $0 instead of $400). I've gotten a lot better at thinking about these in terms of the long(er) run though. They are supposed to happen some fraction of the time, so when they do, I'm trying to think, "Oh good - got that one out of the way."

Easier said than done.

Actually, I'm up nicely. Go figure. I don't run horrible all the time, but when I do - my God man.

I think PokerEV only works for cash games, and I've been playing almost exclusively HU SNGs for a while now...

Clearly.......

When you get sucked out on, you clicked the mouse a millisecond to early, or too late.

And when your hands hold, you clicked at the exact right millisecond


glorified slot machine........................FTL!!

How has your dip into HU SNGs been goin? Have you found them more profitable than 6 max (or HU) cash games or are you simply tryin to mix it up?
