The last year I took out 10k$ of the limit hold em community. Now the last 3 times when I cashed out I ran into a ridiculous bad run of luck afterwards. Just yesterday after I cashed out I suffered like 20 badbeats in one hour (playing 6 tables).<BR/>I lost one pot after another as a favourite. My top pair/overpair was rivered in headsup pots 5 times in a row by 2pair, even runner runner ones. I lost with fullhouse to quads, everything you could imagine. It felt like it was impossible to win, no matter the hand. When I got aces on the last hand I told my girlfriend to watch how I lose with them, because I simply knew it will happen. Button called my raise, flop came 733... he had 93s !!! I am not joking.<BR/>I stopped and came back today. The first hand I played I got KK and lost to a guy holding AA. 5 hands later I had AJ, flop came AQJ, turn came A, fullhouse... other guy had AQ !!! I immediatly stopped then again before burning any more money.<BR/><BR/>And like I said, the last times I cashed out before I ran into similar streaks.<BR/><BR/>I never doubted the honest business of the poker rooms. And i´m really not a paranoid type of guy. But after what I experienced recently it really feels like there´s something wrong. Like I said I am not talking about a couple of badbeats, but of several ridiculous runs after several times of cashing out, and this really is a very very unlikely kind of variance. I am playing fullring by the way, not shorthanded.<BR/>I really hope this was a one-time-in-ten-years type of variance and I will be proved wrong in the future by also having good runs again after cashing out. But at the moment it really feels rigged and I will have an eye on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333278943175448718.post-89535700200375727762008-11-12T15:23:00.000+00:002008-11-12T15:23:00.000+00:00Hi MichaelI have had these swings too (5 losses on...Hi Michael<BR/><BR/>I have had these swings too (5 losses on the trot) without cashing out so I know how it feels. Just be aware of them and manage your bankroll accordingly. Perhaps a drop down a level until the storm passes.<BR/><BR/>Anyway good luck mate.<BR/><BR/>Geoff M (Jester)Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10427557246597869532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333278943175448718.post-7890626833231795332008-11-11T22:46:00.000+00:002008-11-11T22:46:00.000+00:00Inconsistant rules is one of my pet hates.I'm not ...Inconsistant rules is one of my pet hates.<BR/><BR/>I'm not playing this week cos they're all 2 day events except Thursday when the wife works and Friday when I'm at a dinner.<BR/><BR/>If you're there, good luckMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283075073006502706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333278943175448718.post-42131426400169346482008-11-11T14:28:00.000+00:002008-11-11T14:28:00.000+00:00Hi mate,I hope these adverse swings stop for you s...Hi mate,<BR/>I hope these adverse swings stop for you soon and your back to your winning ways. Your comments about the sb having his cards mucked because he was on the phone just goes to show the inconsistancy within grosvenor casinos - Walsall apply the rules as they are written probally cause Zak is the official card room manager, anyway the rule states as it does for all grosvenors that if a player is on the phone when the first card out of the deck is delivered then he can not instigate any action during the hand, therefore limiting his actions to just calling for the complete hand, even if he finishes his conversation mid deal.<BR/><BR/>You playing any other comps up there this week?<BR/><BR/>Good luck mateSteve H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12356394431337709340noreply@blogger.com
