What’s up guys?  New member, been playing a pretty solid amount of online poker this past year.  I had a couple decent wins a few months ago that’s what made me think I should definitely be playing more, however lately, especially today I’v just been getting my a**kicked.  Not so much bad playing I think, just some serious sketchiness on the runouts.  Dealt KK twice in the sb with AA lurking in the bb, twice within 10 hands.  Then I get AA’s and get smoked by a set of 8’s.  I play on the Carbon Poker skin and ACR.  I don’t know, definitely didn’t break anything today but it doesn’t exactly make me want to keep playing.

Anyways I doubt I’m quitting anytime soon just need a little motivation I guess.

Glad to be a member, I’v already seen a few of you on the tables.

keep on grinding and reviewing your play rest will come.

 

always keep in mind that MTTs are a big variance hooker

Sometimes you’re the hammer, and sometimes your the nail.  My advice, keep working on your game and if you can eliminate the high variance aspects of your game (not saying you have any, but that is most peoples problem) and learn to recognize spots your score will come.  Eventually variance will swing your way, and in some cases in a BIG way.

 

Do your part, it will come.

Keep calm, Grind on! Your days will come! Keep grinding and they will come!

Variance is a bitch and so is just plain bad luck. But sooner or later, you’ll hit that golden ratio of life and ship it home!

Have you ever heard of Pascal’s Wager?

Blaise Pascal was a 17th century mathematician and physicist. And philosopher.

He argued that one should believe in God, because either a) one is correct to believe because there is in fact a God, and thus one will enter Heaven etc.;

Or…

b) Even if there is no God then by the time you find this out you you will be dead anyway so it won’t matter.

The comments above remind me of Pascal’s Wager. (And I am only having fun here)…As the owner of TPE Killingbird encourages you to “keep on playing and believing!”…

Either you will have that big score and you will live happily ever after…or you will die before hitting your score, believing until the end that “your time is near”…and it won’t matter anyway… 

GL at the tables!

love Pascal.
