  1. It's early... I've only played a few tournies today. The following are the only big pots I've played all day. This has been going on for a couple months now, during which all together I'm down... these aren't that bad of beats... but it's just every big pot I play. Pretty much been like this every day for the last couple of months. Cannot figure it out. People have been asking why I've been playing so few days lately b/c they look at my cashes and I'm cashing so few days. It's not that. Probably in over half the days I've played in the last few months (20+ tourneys a day), I haven't cashed a single tourney.

    And yet people still tell me how ridiculously good I run. I just don't get it.

  2. well, that's heartening to all us low limit donks who think it only happens to us. GG, sir.
  3. ZOMG soooooooooooooooo sick!!!
     
  4. Well I try to mirror my game after you, so hopefully I can somehow avoid these.

    All in all there are some brutal beats in there. That one hand I was curious why you didn't raise AA pre flop but then again you are 108938 levels above me so what do I know.
