remember my thread about how I took a week off and tried again and failed hard to bad beats?
Well, I just finished my first table since then and it went like this:
I raised in total 2 times pre-flop in the early phase but everybody was folding, so I only got some blinds. After a while beeing card dead, this happened:
Sit-n-go Mid-Phase. Everybody around 15 BB and 2 Busted+1 Big-Stack
I got AA
Pre-Flop: 1. Raise 3x BB 2. Average Stack from SB calls

I have seen on one of your post telling someone to just stay away from Full Tilt and bad comments in others. I just dont uderstand why you continue to play there if you dont like it. You dont feell like trying another one just to see if the problem is thee site or your poker skill.
Yeah, everybody be like 'oooh bro calm down, just take a brake, things will get beter, clear your mind and just start again.' Downswing here Downswing there...
Well... Duh.. Should I take a 3. Breakt and open another Thread in a week again ?!

I have a couple of dollars left there, also I didn't want to lose my Edge. But with no money I will lose it, and then I will quit FT. I think I will go to PS, since I have an old acc there

I no longer play this ***king ****** game, which made my life a lot easier. Not worth a ****. Period. Not for me! I seem to have never ever liked the game. Glad I have finally figured that out. There are much more important things to do in life.

I think he is actually being serious.
He has probably made a great decision to stop playing and losing more money or whatever, but there are tons of players out there who actually do well and make decent money from it(A few from BRM too) so it cannot be that disgusting.

Lebron i feel ur pain i get bad beats allday everyday..i think ur real issue is ur not playing enough poker lol as dumb as it sounds. I play up to 8hours a day 4-7 days a week. I get sucked out on all the time but the wins overcome the losses and the good hands do beat the bad hands more then they dont. Just sucks that the times u do play is when the bad hands win. Keep ur head up youll over come your bad run eventually
I actually 3 weeks ago I was playing average 6 hours a day.
First when I started playing serious poker of course a lost quite a lot of money (about half a year). Then I got pretty decent and managed to Break Even for like 3-4 Months.
Then over a span of half a year I just plain lost to the most ridicolous ways you never haev seen before. I wrote A ton of Threads here as well. Then everybody told me to take a brake.
Since it's getting warm here in Germany I spend my time practicing for Basketball and Working-out. So Last week I decided to give Poker a go again.
And then It all started over and over and over [...] again.
I always hated those kind of players who always only cry and yell this 'RIGGED' Crap, but honestly I am just losing my hope, that this s**t is 100% fair.
I mean, JESUS, I sure have no Problems with bad beats, I deal them to others too every now and then. But The Crap hands like mentionend before just overweigh so hard.
And for some reason most of the SnGs go like this: 1 of 15 Hands premium = raise. Everybody folds Cant play a lot of hands, because often people overvalue already on Pre-Flop so I can only limp with suited connectors. But Can't really outplay the others, becaues most of the times, I gotta pay my whole stack to see next 2 cards for just a draw..
Then on the Latephase I get some Premium Hand again. But I will lose this hand, no matter how I play it. (See above).
------------ So, I finally lost my whole Bankroll on Full Tilt. Seems like I must be the worst Poker Player ever.

Oh noes, someone hit a gutshot.
You are by far to much on tilt right now, to play propper poker. Are you in any way related to Phil Hellmuth? You sound a lot like him, when someone dishes out a bad beat.
Honestly if you play cards and you couldn't get over the variance or the suckout after suckout scenarios then I would advise to take a job on a coffee bean plantation or in a coalmine. If you think loosing in poker sucks donkey a$$ then you need some new perspectives in life.

Well man, the way you feel about Fullillt is the same way i feel about pokerstars as of late, i mean come on losing to pair of 8`s with KK, got cracked aces with pair of 5`s, lost with AK against Q8, pair of 10`s dont even bother playing them on PS, bad beat after bad beat after bad beat, but i still play on PS i hate it no doubt about that but i still play there and manage somehow to make a small profit, on other side of the coin at this time i kick ass on FullTillt, as days go by me playing poker on FT i love it more and more by the day it has become no.1 poker software on my PC and i got plenty installed believe me from PS, FT, partypoker, 888poker, BWIN, PKR and DuckPoker Oouuu and one other thing i picked up from playing on both PS and FT, they have different random generators , but since ive been playing more on FT i can tell you forget about winning with AT, KJ, KQ you stand a better chance of winning with pair of 3`s against AK, but when it comes to big pairs like AA and KK trust me most of the time if all in they will do their job

My pocket aces get cracked so often I don't even want to play them anymore. Of the last 20 or so times I got them, they stayed standing only once and almost always losing to ridiculous hands like q2 or 63 off suit... People are just donkeys and odds can suck sometimes.... But play enough and you get there.... I am at least on the LB this month....
/edit: and on the RNG issue, has anyone else noticed that PS will deal the same cards on tables? Too many times I've had cards dealt about the same time and I have 3 x k4s and 2 x 73s while multitabling and then when the board is dealt half are the exact same..... Started thinking there's prob a great exploit in there if you monitored tables and had a bot act quick enough to actually take advantage of the 'feature' (a human can't respond fast enough)....
