Well,
congrats to all that cashed last night @ Bodog:dance:

for those that did
you witnessed my downward spiral
from chipleader w/ 6 at the table
to bubbleboy:mad:

that's poker

that was the 6th tourney in a row
that I bubbled
but
I did it twice more after that

EIGHT, 8 tourneys in a row, that I bubbled

it really looked as if I was gonna hit 9
but I brought that streak to a screaching halt
when
again, I had the chip lead
this time it was massive
7 players left & top 4 got paid

With premium starting hands
& pretty good flops for me
I doubled up 4 players in a row
(that wasnt 4 consecutive hands, just the 4 I participated in)
& was suddenly 5th in chips

at that point
I had lost all interest in playing
thinking, 'How long is this gonna last?'

I decided to end it there
I just called all hands w/ nothing
-not waiting to get a premium hand-
& in 3 hands, was out in seventh

bubbleling that many times in a row
and facing another, after just having a massive chip lead
really takes the wind out of your sails
- and I did not feel like playing another hand-


there were 3 games on Friday nite & 5 on Saturday
but finally, the streak is over


if I bubble on the next tourney
well - I will just chalk it up as another starting point
but I dont plan to

for those, who dont know me
& think maybe, I play too many hands
& deserved what I got
well- thats not the case (playing too many hands)
at least normally
I guess I did play too many, in those bubble games

But I think I do, pick & choose wisely, when I play

& I am the first, to admit
that I do make mistakes, in every tourney I play,
but most times, I am able to recover from those

which I plan to do in my next tourney

GOOD LUCK EV1 😡!

Well, first, it was a pleasure to play with you again, yesterday on Bodog. Sorry to see you bubbled, but due to multitabling I missed some things -- including my sudden appearance as runner-up -- while on "auto-pilot" so didn't see your slide.

But bubbling a string like that. . . wow. :crying

Second, yes, when I run into a streak of bad luck like that -- you just seem to be doubling up short stacks, can't beat a dead stack, running card dead -- I sometimes find myself thinking the same way, "let's just get it over with" and toss it in with any decent looking hand -- and sometimes any 2 cards might be decent looking. It's not the greatest attitude, but we're not really talking WSOP levels of money either, so time investment -- which has it's own value -- figures into the equation. . .

Good luck in your future games making it inside the bubble again. . .the air's much better in there. . . [/FONT]

What made it tough for me, they were all forum games (but 1)

the other,
playersPoker just gave me 50 gold chips
& I spent half on a satellite & bubbled there

but
TODAY IS A NEW DAY

I entered in 3 Sng
placed twice & won one

so, I am back w/ some confidence

I just couldn't handle, seeing that streak go to 9

I am not a superstitious man
I dont believe in luck (the superstitious kind)
luck just happens - good & bad (& in streaks)
and it is an event type of thing

hope 2 play in todays tourney
have some things sorta scheduled near game time

good luck ev1
