    Post Poker Life:Thoughts we have all had.

    I keep a spreadsheet where I track what games I play, for how much, ROI, etc. and I have a spot where I write notes in about that game. Then, when I consolidate the numbers into one line of the spreadsheet for ease of use, I go through and read the notes, then delete them and continue on with the spreadsheet.

    By reading the notes, it helps cure me of any tilt I may be on by seeing that these things happen routinely and that I will be able to recover. I'll * out the cussing (I seem to do that a ton while ranting) as this forum would probably frown upon much of my language.

    What I notice is that my emotions are the same as many of the posts on here. Sometimes these notes don't make sense later, but it still helps to vent into the spreadsheet and read them later. Keep in mind, I usually only log something while ranting so most are crying lines.


    Most frustrating bubble i've ever f*****g been on. Had a guy dead one billion f*****g times and he wouldn't f*****g die.

    this p****d me off, i'm on tilt a little from last night, but this guy calls everything and wins everything. fishbowl express

    This table is so bad, i'll have to get cards to win. They call everything. If I don't play a hand for an hour, they won't notice it.

    As the saying goes, I couldn't buy a bucket this game.

    TERRIF*****GBULL

    I had him read like a book but he hit two pair on the river. great play by me but F**K.

    unlucky in both games today. oh well, time to quit.

    lost a couple of pots to a guy who was hitting EVERYTHING. not kidding, 4 sets, 1 quads, 4 big pairs. Everything held up. amazing.

    why do I continually say 'anything but a ___'?

    misclicked min raised with 43 suited. Flopped a flush. Beat by a bigger flush.

    f**k it. time to tilt.

    I knew i was beat. f**k me. He was a bad player and he played a big hand like a bad player would.

    Bulls**t that I'm about to bubble this.

    Bulls**t that I bubbled this.

    can't beat lucky. The guy sucked, but was LUCKY.

    got my ass kicked heads up. Couldn't get any traction.

    4 of 6 fishbowls and I finish last? Of course, the only hand I played I flopped two pair and got into a three way pot in which I ended up last.

    money STOLEN

    should have been in first, but lost to a donkey in a big pot. F**k him and his overplaying of cards and getting lucky.

    not my best playing

    I shouldn't be playing today. I knew what a bad player had and I went ahead and put all my chips in the pot because I was p****d that he was calling with s**t and hitting.
    awful

    played very well. outlucked at the end.

    Atrocious. Just because they have a fishbowl beside their name doesn't mean they can't get cards.

    I don't deserve to play anymore. I knew I was beat and called anyway. If you know what your opponents have and you can read everyone at the table, why the F**K do you call?

    Really long three way battle. Came down to having the lucky cards.

    fish wasn't good enough to fold his flush draw.

    I played him like a fiddle. He made an atrocious call with one card to come. I had KK, he had A3. He called with A high and hit a f*****g Ace.

    Busted on the bubble when I flopped top pair. Oh well, it'll happen again sometime.

    Told you, another bubble bust.

    third straight bubble boy. yeah.

    I let a guy tilt me with his bad play. Even though he should not have been rewarded MULTIPLE times, it is still My fault.

    I crushed this field. I abused the bubble like a f*****g champ. If every game could be like this, I would be loving poker.

    breath. breath deeply. the guy hit back to back sets on my overpairs, THEN he instacalled my 15BB all in with a gutshot. Wow. breath. He has a fishbowl. you want him to play that way. breath.

    my AA beat by KK third hand. oh well.

    on tilt from other game.

    heads up, even stack i got him all in with one card to go for a flush draw....yep.

    bubbled. Not going to second guess myself. I think I played it right. He just happened to hit a 3 outter.

    Terrible playing by me. Just awful. Unless I'm just second guessing myself.

    Got the best player at the table all in when i had KK and he had 88. he hit an 8 on the river. Oh well.

    Very bad luck. I lost with KK twice when outflopped. Once by 56 sooooted and the other by A rag.

    I let a bad player make me make a bad play. I played out of position and didn't know where I was on the flop.

    Lets Tilt!

    Back to back awful awful beats. I just puked in my mouth...

    knocked out by the worst player at the table. he called until he hit. everytime. ther's a reason he has lost $30K

    my KK was beat after my reraise and a call by K5 soooted that flopped a flush.

    Lets Tilt! Should have won. Guy outdrew me three times and flushed up all three times. Can't beat that.

    Let's blow some money. Poor internet connection caused alot of frustration.

    NOTHING I could do about losing this game. Arguably the worst two players in the world took me down by calling calling calling, hitting on the river. I can't stop that.

    got my neg opponent all in with my flush vs his two pair and one card to come. I'll say no more.

    do I just suck?

    made an excellent call with third pair to take the chip lead on the bubble.

    QQ vs KK against a guy I would never a lay a hand down to. Oh well.

    game crash. couldn't get on til end of game.

    blinds out of control.

    killed by a donkey

    ran into a fishbowl with KK. I'll lose it alot that way.

    river is KILLING me.

    I got my money in better than the other guy heads up three times and lost all three. Oh well, what more can I do than that?

    I've deserved a much better fate than what I've received today.

    That was f*****g awful

    This is okay, made the guy put his chips in bad as I knew he would and he got lucky. I want that call everytime.

    great table full of donkeys but i can't beat the deck. Had them all at least once and they all sucked out.

    unf*****g believable. KK vs 66 he open shoves on me and he flops a f*****g 6

    Seriously, two stupid bad beats. There is a lot of bad variance going on the last two days.

    back to back hands the river gave the guy i was leading along a flush. Arghh...it continues!

    once again. unreal bad luck for last few days

    I'm now on tilt.

    bad call by a donkey gets a reward.

    coolered heads up, AA vs KK

    I can't believe how much alike we are....

    We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like.

    Wow Chad. This reads like a compilation of Rdsknman and shortmat1444 posts from the last week.


    By reading the notes, it helps cure me of any tilt I may be on by seeing that these things happen routinely and that I will be able to recover.
    I definitely like this outlook.

    LOL, hey now... I haven't posted a Bad Beat in a long time.

    Instead, I'm asking how I can play a hand differently to try and avoid the type of outcomes that seem so often..
