Ever feel like giving up all forms of gambling cause you're just plain unlucky

i swear... i sent 100 bucks to full tilt several months back . grew it to 900 . went on a bad beat rampage and lost a few hund.

cashed out at 500 .

hadnt played any in months . went in today and played a 9 man / 600 fpp for a $ 26 sat. token . won it.

play in the 32,000 guarantee with it. get a guy to push all his chips in against me with 5 outs after the flop . hits his ace on the turn . i'm gone.

if it isnt losing to that , i have oddest things happen with my sports bets .

anybody else here unlucky all the time ?

sometimes it feels that way but it always turns man.

WorldNumberOne · Aug 20, 2008

always turns ?

not for me it seems . cant catch a break . havent for years .

anybody else would be taking anti-depressants if they dealt with some of this . i just try and laugh it off and almost expect it .

you increased your poker bankroll 500% in a couple months? doesnt sound too unlucky to me.

I had a $50 bonus coming at a poker site, i needed to play maybe 20 more hands to get it..im mostly just folding, waiting to get the points i need. So with a pt or 2 to go i get a big hand..I got the guy cornered on the river and bet 75 or so into a 100 pot.at the exact same moment he called a sign popped up saying i had cleared my $50 bonus!!!! He hit a 1 outer on the river and i lost about $125 on the hand......Life really sucks...

Not even close. I have just developed a very thick skin over the years where losing days, sessions, or events don't faze me. I wasn't trying to rub it in. Good luck and keep your chin up.

Don't expect me to come to the MGM to meet you, my fat ass would die on the walk in from the parking lot. :lol:

#1, good poker players receive more bad beats than bad players because they are usually ahead.

true.. but i am lucky if my 80/20 hands hold up 25 % of the time .

just a born loser i guess...

maybe i'll get lucky in vegas in 3 weeks . already had 1 good thing happen when a former girlfriend who lives out there called me 2 weeks ago and said she would like me to bang her while i'm there ..

this girl is a former supermodel who hasnt changed much in 6 years .

there is no such thing as luck

If there is anything that will put you over the edge & make you think that the world has it in for you, it's poker.

(Of course we rarely remember the good beats, but the bad ones can REALLY hurt!)
