Unlucky! Sometimes it's funny how life works. I lost $70k today playing 100-200, after winning 20 at 10-20 and 25-50. I have been playing so well it's almost surreal when a shot like that goes poorly, especially considering how unbelievable the games were. These games were much better than your standard 5-10 or 10-20 game, so it's particularly disappointing when a 200 hand sample goes just about as poorly as a 200 hand sample could go. It's also real unfortunate when I had plans tonight and they sort of went up in smoke around the time the 100-200 games started. When you look at games like these, anything above 10-20 really, you realize that the people who run good in the short term are the ones who are going to look like geniuses. A 100k hand sample is barely significant and I don't think you could play that many hands at 100-200 in an entire year, even if you were on the lookout for games at all hours.

Sigh.

In other news, I'm back in Indy a little earlier than expected. It's weird to be home, I don't really know how to describe it. Things feel different when you've been away for a while. The weather is terrible, it was 98 or something today and humid as hell. It's such an unpleasant heat, especially after getting used to the dry heat in Vegas. My schedule is of course all fucked up, but when I am awake during the daytime, I don't want to leave the house.

Speaking of which, my roommate must either be the dumbest person alive or think I'm the dumbest person alive. He pays the utility bills, so he turns the air off when he leaves the house. When he goes away for the weekend, he thinks that having the house on 78 degrees won't bother me-- wtf? I usually don't notice the temperature change until I start sweating a little bit. I'm turning that motherfucker down to 68, I hope our bill is a zillion dollars this month.

Peace out homie.

Ya its hot as hell in Indiana, so get in the car and drive your ass up to Warsaw, (about 2.5 hours North) and chill at my house on Lake Tippecanoe. You aint lived until you played cards on the pontoon boat!!

Serious question.... all stats indicate Daniel isn't that bad (also, he had some pointers in Monte Carlo from some great players), and the other players named in the game are known to be very strong. I'm curious if there was someone else playing that made the games good. With the players named, this is far more difficult than 5/10 and 10/20 games. I just want to know what about those games makes them an extremely good spot/worth playing 100/200, so gungho, stop being a queer attacking me anonymously when I pose a legitimate question on a legitimate blog entry.

+1 on having roommates who dont like to turn on the air because of the utility bills. Everytime I get up its 80 degrees in the house. Annoying as shit

yeah i mean 2shae may troll like a tard but in this case he is probably right, i don't think 100/200 w/ that lineup is softer than your average 5/10 game. Its definitely not way better unless DN is a much bigger spot than your average fish, which i find hard to believe as well. I mean, obviously you won't really respond and say "x player was the spot, y and z player i think are pretty bad", etc, so asking is pretty futile.

It's also kind of silly to complain about runbad when you only play like 50k hands over a 7 month period

It might not be softer than 5-10, but I'll just say that those games were softer than a 10-20 game with Derek/Roland/corbin/UMDTennis or something

edit: a few hands take place from time to time that proves a fundamental misunderstanding of some concepts that I think are important. it may be very difficult to have spots like that come up in such small samples but when they do it's a big F'in deal obv.

Wait, what?!

Let me get this straight... You mean you moved up in stakes and DIDNT run hot? WTF!? How bizarre! First time for everything I guess!

I mean, how you can have a negative win rate over a huge sample (350k hands) and still be up over $1M and yet still find something to complain about.. Now that is unbelievable.
