I wonder where frob is. What if it's just me and you!:O

[gamer4life27]

Ok, I'm gonna go now. Good luck all.

[gamer4life27]

I swear, I AM FCKIN DONE WITH POKER! That was the 3rd time in a row! How the FCK do I ALWAYS get knocked out on THE FCKIN BUBBLE! I can't BELIEVE THIS FCKIN SH!T!

[frob23]

Sorry about the hand on the end there lilady, with JJ, I was planning on calling any flop that came. 10-Q-K wasn't a great flop for that but with the stack sizes, I wasn't going to let it go. At least you got the chips in good and made me have to suck out with the straight to win.

Good game.

[liladypokerpro]

Yup you too Frob gg hun....I especially like the FH over FH cripple you put on me LOL that was a well played game, however short it may have been.

Gamer, I'm sorry for the bad luck hun, but I mean hell, I've gone out on the bubble 3 of 5 times so I understand your frustration.... but you've got to get your temper under control. That will kill you faster than anything, hun....seriously.... Better luck in the future, and work on self discipline as far as that temper goes, and I'm sure you'll burst that bubble next go-around

[gamer4life27]

Yes, you know EXACTLY what I'm going through, huh!? I was just on the bubble 3/4 times in this tourney ALONE! And who goes out on the bubble with 3 people paying top two places!? It's just fckin ridiculous!

The first time I played one of these, took 1/9 people. I knew I could do it, and the cards were BARLEY on my side. I took that win, and tried to build a bankroll with it. But what happens!? I get cracked because of my fckin bankroll is too small! I can't do ANYTHING with that because I can't fckin stand the donks who play in the levels I am forced to play at.

bty, it wasn't a FH over a FH, he had quads.

[liladypokerpro]

*sighs* As long as your attitude remains the same, your results will remain the same. I am so fed up with trying to be nice to people who throw it back in my face.

And pardon my mistake regarding the fh over fh...I could have sworn I saw jacks full in his hand vs my 8s full...if I missed the 3 he had for a kicker to make quads then my bad....the game was moving quite fast at the time....yeesh....

Uhm... I bubbled out in these tournaments when it was 3 handed... and one player was sitting out. That's right... it was 2 handed with a guy not there... 2 people paid... and I got 3rd. There's no worse feeling than that. I almost wanted to turn in my cards and give up at that point. How could I Royally mess that one up any worse? I could have folded my way to $30... instead I got zilch.

At least you didn't get any money and slowly watch your money go away because you got cracked by some donkeys in a tournament in one hand, or because you can't catch cards on your cash game table, or because you don't have the proper bankroll to do anything else but play with a bunch of fishs and donks.

Yeah, it was quads but it's not a big deal. The software just flashed the cards and moved on. I had to go look in the hand history to see what you called with because I missed your hand completely. The game went so fast today I am only now thinking about some of the hands. I feel a little unsatisfied... it went too fast.

It is a little sad to get sworn at and treated badly. I thought gamer4life27 played well... but then destroyed all that by getting abusive and angry in the chat. It's just not cool. We all take horrific beats, have periods where nothing goes our way, and generally have to deal with the frustration of playing a game where luck is a large factor and can rule over skill in the short-term -- but we can't treat each other like that. We need to show respect and self-control... no matter what we might be feeling or thinking.

Last night, when I busted the AA with my KK (with the river K), I am sure that player was pissed off. But he stood up, said, "Oh man... I can't believe it!" And then he walked walked away from the table until he was calm enough to come back and watch the rest of the game. I am sure he had a dozen choice words for me but he kept them to himself or took them to a place where he could release that without creating drama at the table.

Yes, Frob as you saw two weeks ago when you were already out of the PTOTW tourney, gamer4life27 (playforpizza at Nordica) busted out and immediately turned on us and started swearing at BuildMo and myself calling us fu%kers and donkeys. The deciding hand by the way, I had AJ he had A10. BuildMo sucked out on me for the win (AQ to A4), I simply moved to the next game. Too bad another tirade followed this week. gamerforlife, you print some decent thought provoked information here in the forums but on the tables your mood swings are quite inappropriate. Many of us have played poker for a long time and all have had our share of hard luck. But, poker player to poker player, no one cares about your sob stories at the tables and they never will or should. And if in these forums a vent session has the word fu%k several times over, your credibility further lessons in the eyes of others. Rakeback is a great place and they have always been good to its members, please keep this place what it is, cool.

Good Luck

Gamer's making a change for the better as we speak.
