I always promised myself this wouldn't turn into a bad beat blog.. where I just bang on about how unlucky I am and how unfair it is. It's boring to read, and it's boring to write.
But..
Bad beats are like ex girlfriends. Once you've had one and it moves into your past, it stays in your memory. You can't think about anything else, you can't get that frustrated feeling out of your stomach, and the urge to punch your PC monitor rears it's ugly head every now and then.
The problem is solved as soon as another bad beat (or girlfriend) comes along. I find I can't remember the old one, since the new terrible suck out is filling my mind. Of course, certain shockingly bad beats do stick.. like losing AKo vs AKo (2%!!!).
I've been hovering at around 50-60% ROI for a while now. I can't seem to place in the top 3.. due to bad beats. AA < AQ, KK < QJ and so on. My hope is that now my bad luck has surely run out - I can't KEEP losing 80/20 shots.. so I'm expecting a big finish soon to shove my ROI up above 70%. Fingers crossed.
OK, I promise.. no more bad beats!
