28.03.07 anger managment how to deal with bad beats

had not be playing lately a lot had internet issues getting cut off all the time so i decided to wait until il get it fixed i did play a coupe hands bad my bad run still continues all hands outdrawn again kkk pf to a 4 card draw and he makes qqq77 to beat me things like that so i was getting a little upset about this bad run so i decided to work a bit on my game and surf the forums and read some stuff and i came across a very good article about anger managment it cheered me up so il post it here maybe it cheers you up too


Anger Management:When I have the occasional bad day and need to take it out on someone, I don't take it out on my loved ones anymore...I got the idea one day when I was sitting at my desk and remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it.A man answered, saying, "Hello." I politely said, "This is Chris. May I please speak with Robin Carter?"Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me.I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her.I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an asshole!" and hung up.I wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills orhad a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an asshole!" It always cheered me up.When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you'reinterested in the Caller ID program?"He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!"One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot.Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so I wrote down his number.A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole, (I had his number on speed dial ), I thought I had better call the BMW asshole, too. I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?""Yes, it is.""Can you tell me where I can see it?" "Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front.""What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Don Hansen," he said."When's a good time to catch you, Don?""I'm home every evening after five.""Listen, Don, can I tell you something?""Yes?""Don, you're an asshole." Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too.Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call. But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea. I called Asshole .1."Hello." "You're an asshole!" (But I didn't hang up.)"Are you still there?" he asked. "Yeah," I said. "Stop calling me," he screamed."Make me," I said."Who are you?" he asked."My name is Don Hansen.""Yeah? Where do you live?""Asshole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front."He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers."I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole."Then I called Asshole .2."Hello?" he said."Hello, asshole," I said.He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are!""You'll what?" I said."I'll kick your ass," he exclaimed.I answered, "Well, asshole, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.Then I called Channel 2 News about the gang war going down on West 34th Street.I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th street.There I saw two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and a news crew.NOW, I feel better.This anger management really works!

COLD RUN 18.03.07

its one of thoose days where nothing goes right all your hands get outdrawn or cracked, you can hit one of your 17outs it is just a very COLD RUN i still play very solid but i get hit with the deck in the face so today i played draw 3/6 2/4 and 1/2 and it has being a while where i have been running so bad after a couple houers of bad beats i decided to stop draw and play a couple multi table tourneys no limit holdem so i registered for 2 and next thing i know my internet goes away for an houer so that was it with tourneys so i jump to ring games to see if i can win some of my loses back today and the bad run still continues so i manage to lose only 200us today after all those beats i could have done worst so i decided to take off poker today and enjoy with my wife the evening

15.03.07 could be worst

today was a bad day i played the 1 seat qualifyer at stars from the beginning i played very lose all suited conectors ilimped alot and outplayed my opponents alot after the flop so i manage to chip up to 9k at first break i continue chiping up a fter break playing lose aggresive poker so i had 17k accumulated and only 90 to go im utg with aks i raise to 600 get repoped from seat 4 to1400 i flat call with the intention to see aflop and take it from there flop comes AQ2 i check he leads out for a pot size bet i think he has what ak maybe too or AQ would he repop me with it so i decided fuck it i repope him all in he had me covered and he shows aq and that was it ty for playing gg meahnwhile i had started the 35k rebuy i bought in with 2 rebuys and had at first break 17k accumulated i played solid poker until 3 houer i had 40k then i get aa delt in utg +2 i open raised to 8k blinds 1200/600 i got re shoved all in from the button i call he shows kk and guess what he turnes an K and trips his cowboys so here to0 gg
then i decided lets play some draw il go to teh draw 1/2pl and 2/4 pl had a coupel houers of terrible suckouts and coolers was losing a lot a small pots was not playing nay big ones then finally a swing game and i picked up some cards i could work with and a couple donks who came to my table il post a couple key hands, so this was a somewhat ok day ended up 465us today not bad but was a lot a hassle and could be a lot more if the deck wouldn hit me so hard today so tomorrow is another day il keep ya posted

http://www.pokerhand.org/?909465 this hand i was against a very good agresive player he knows what he is doing thats why i decided to bluff him out of the pot beacuse he is capable of laying down a hand when somebody like me reraises him he knows im tight so i repoped with after the draw and he mucked 2 pr for sure when not trips
