No.
Seriously, I almost never watch / follow poker pros or big tourneys. I haven't watched a WSOP broadcast since Moneymaker won.
This is no fun without an indignant 'merican.
Last night I had my biggest losing session ever, down 4 buyins. I kept running into sets, my sets and flushes were beaten by full houses and quads.
I suppose it's normal to question my whole poker world after a bad session like that?

Sessions don't really mean anything. Nor do weeks, months, years, or any arbitrary time frame you set in your mind. You had a terrific month last month and you've started out horribly this month and both of those facts mean exactly nothing. The only thing you can do is make the best play you know on the hand you are currently playing. If you do that, in conjunction with continually working to improve your game, you will win more than you lose and you won't worry yourself to death over a few losing hands in a row.
When you review those hands, focus on your play not the results. If the play was right the results will take care of themselves over time (just maybe not over the time frame you'd like).
Logically I know this, but emotionally it's like, "Crap, I just lost two hundred bucks!"
I've reviewed all the big crash and burn hands and don't see where I played badly on any except one (got carried away with top pair), and a couple of spots when I could have saved a few dollars with preflop or flop decisions.
I just got so spoiled by the fantastic May, and would like it if poker were an up-only money farm. Heh.
Are you keeping track of win/losses during a session? If so STOP!
What are you playing ian ?
lol at all non-uk people
just trying to find out what the latest stable one is, just accidentally installed the discontinued omaha version, ****ed everything up.
I believe it's 1.08b22 fwiw
WV and everyone else. We all say (and I am in agreement) don't keep track of winnings/losses in a session. How in the crap do you play and not have an idea of how you are running. It does not take a genius to know about where you stand in a session even with everything turned off....or maybe its because I am either 4 or 5 tabling at the moment. Any suggestions to help me hide my results from myself?
still at 100nl or at 50nl now?
i'm playing some hilarious NLHE with big antes tournament it's pretty fun
How? Or are you implying the 3 hit river?
Does anyone know what was done with the 2 updates on PS today ?
BTW: the new TableNinja update is so sweet !
Hotkeys for getting on waitinglists, closing down tables, slightly improved interface and a whole new menu thing to open SNGs.
It is really such a joy to have it
Is the table ninja still in free beta or do I gotta part with some cash?
(note to self don't open a table at 200/400 limit with table ninja running......scared me silly)
