    I cant play any better than I play yet in this last 2 weeks the odds do not go my way when im an 80% favorite so in turn I give up. Theres no point in playing if it seems like every hand I play is rigged for action. And thats exactly what it seems like.

    Letshustle I said this in another thread in the bad beat forum. Aside from all the bickering and so on between you and other players, which I know just makes things worse for you (people will never feel sorry for someone who takes bad beats--we all hear and see 100 bad beats a day), I have a clear, simple suggestion to you that I'm confident you should take, it will make your life better: quit poker. You do not belong in this game if you cannot emotionally deal with losing.

    It's not about bad beats--everyone takes them. Good players lose all the time, and usually they lose on bad beats. You stated in another thread that you wanted your money back. The best way to avoid this problem from now on is to just not put the money out there. Believe me, I know a lot of poker players who need to be out of the game, I have seen it all now. You need to be out of the game. It is in your best interest.

    If you don't take my advice, I believe things will continue to get worse for you, as your emotional state is clearly declining. You'd be wrong to think I don't have your best interest and only your best interest in mind.

    Get away from it, at least for a while.

    Adam

    Ya, making preflop raises 66x the pot size with 73 is a sign.

    hmmm

    I remember a few weeks ago I was involved in a doozy with Duff McGwire where he called my AA with his J7suited and sucked out on me. I remember your post vividly. Let's go back in time.

    I really hate to dog you, but its true. Back when we were cool, every time you AIMed me, you were tearing your hear out every time you lost a pot. Adam is completely correct, if you cant handle it, give it up.

    Just read the comment he made after Duff hit his hand. What a two faced corncobhead. Stop making posts about your luck and go rob a bank. Hope you have better luck w/ that.

    I remember when I was in high school, a bunch of us got together and played 'Guts'. One guy was getting really lucky and was up about $60 (lot of money for us back then). Someone complained about how much he had lost and the big winner said to him 'Hey, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen'.

    A short time later, he had lost his winnings plus a lot more and started to cry because his mother was going to kill him. We all told him 'If he can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!'.

    Might have something to do with the fact that they get paid.

    let's hustle has been a bit of a pet hate of mine. the majority of the "bad beats" that he posts are nothing of the sort. from the hand histories that he's posted he is just a plain bad player. ive posted some advice to him in regards to this subject (about looking closer to home rather than the guy who called him) but he paid no attention to it. the scary thing is that he plays such high limits. according to him - the amount that he loses on "bad beats" equates to several thousand a day!!!

    i agree with adam - quit.

    if quitters never win and winners never quit why would you quit when you're ahead?
