i too remember the first time that i dropped a "significant" chunk of money on poker. it was about 25 bucks in a party no limit game, and i felt sick about it as well.
now, even though i play lo limits there are two things different about that. 1. i wouldnt put myself in a situation where i could lose more than i can stomach. 2. reasonable losses arent a big deal, as others mention. it is a part of the game, and you will be a better player once you realize it. |

Lol yes.
The first time I tried .1/.25 NL on PS was like this. I had only 100 bucks (built up from .01/.02 playing). Started well, going up 15 bucks, then I lose set over set, and then proceeded to lose all but 10 dollars  . I was really shook up after this. I remember staring at the screen with this blank expression and just feeling like crap. It also meant I'd have to go back to penny NL with only 10 bucks, an a real possibility of losing it all. Lucky for me I never went bust and yesterday lost 100 in first hour of limit (4 tabling 1/2), and it bothered me for a few min but I took a short break and came back swinging .[edit: yeah TP that's a rough hand. But what hurts more imho is having TT vs QT and flop is QQT ]

No way. With TT and a QQT flop, you are losing to QQ or QT (and there are 2 Qs left to make this hand). With KQ and a KQQ flop, you can only lose to KK.

Hmmm, Ok I see what you're saying. I guess I was just thinking differently, like you're ahead of QT PF with TT..., comparing the 2 hands your KQ was behind PF and flop, in other instance you're ahead by a fair bit, and then drawing dead.
At least in your case you had 1 live out  .Cheers, Gutzz |
