Davai Poker

I’m losing for October

For some reason I can’t get a winning session under my belt for this month. It sucks as I’ve been playing close to my A-game, but I’m really being slaughtered by cold deck situations (nights with 3 set-over-set instances etc, it sucks badly)…

Yesterday I lost a big chunk of my bankroll in a rollercoaster I can only describe as sick…

Flopped quad tens to get rivered by Quad kings (all the money went in on the turn, obv nothing he could do — but still), made a straight flush and LOST against the higher straight flush and flopped a set of sixes only to get beat by a set of aces that decided to smoothcall pre-flop…

BAH

Have been losing a lot…

I have been putting off talking about this on my blog for quite some time — but for honesty reasons I’ve decided to include you in on one of the most stressful months for me ever as a poker player. I’ll keep it brief, and I won’t elaborate on any useless details, but I just feel like it’s fair I shared this…

I’ve been losing. I usually average one or two losing sessions a week, but over the month of April I’ve only had like 5 or 6 winning sessions. Only one big one, and 4 BIG losing sessions, losing well over 5 buy-ins.

It looks like I’ve hit a fork in the road in my life as a poker player, and it seems like for the first time ever I’ll be moving down the limits to allow my bankroll to (hopefully) recover.

It’s a painful thing to do, but no more $5/$10 for me for a couple months, I’m afraid.

Please pray for me. I need assistance from Up There.

Guy wanted to be called Daniel Negreanu

I had the funniest day EVER at the pokertable yesterday. Some fool came in with an oversized Toronto Maple Leafs shirt, and about half an hour into the session he starts asking people to actually call him Daniel Negreanu.

He wanted US to call HIM Daniel Negreanu.

Believe me, he wasn’t Daniel Negreanu.

Sick people.

Even worse: one guy actually did call him Daniel Negreanu. Daniel-wannabe cleared him out. After the game I congratulated him on his tactics — he smiled and said: “people think I’m a mental patient, it works”.

Dude should play $100/$200 in stead of $2/$4.
