.... or learned what a "bad beat" means too many times.

bump

I know exactly what a bad beat is. Sort of like when a newbie jumps into porn and submits 10000 hosted galleries to all big TGP's. Then their server dies from all the rejection emails.

Bad beat.

As for updates, I've been busy as shit. They's coming.

Hey stocktrader, been tryin to contact you on icq.. are you on?

The Poker Experiment - Day 2
Summary of June 11th, 2004

(I haven't been able to take detailed notes most of this week. Tons going on lately.)

Very Short Summary.

Played 3 $30 3 table tourneys and didn't finish in the money on any of them.

Played 9 $20 SNG's. Had 1 1st place finish ($100) and out of the money on the rest. This is hilarious.

Played 5 $10 SNG's. Placed 2nd on one ($30), 3rd on another ($20), and out of the money on the rest.

Played 5 $5 SNG's. Placed 1st on one ($25), 2nd on another ($15), and out of the money on the rest.

Played in a $30 multi table tourney and went out about midway through.

Play 5/10 limit for 45 minutes and won $125.

As you can see that's a whole lot of losing to only be down $100. I have my 2 year old running around, tons of distractions, and I've been blowing off steam on poker. I only lost $100 on the whole day and I know I'm playing terrible. How anyone that wants to win can lose consistently really doesn't make sense to me.

Starting balance for June 11th $960.40
Ending balance $860.40
Profit/Loss for the day -100.00
Total Profit/Loss +$52.45

bump the funk

ST, why bother playing crap like $5 SNGs?

I am playing on PP every day. Maybe you and I should have a contest or something to help with the goal!

you shouldnt play when you are not in "mood" stock.


:glugglug

its good that you are still up money but when you work it out, how much are you getting paid an hour?

thats what i consider when poker cuts into work time

Dang. Every year the pot just keeps on getting bigger. :)

bump. how'd the last week go dude?

bump :)

I guess he isn't doing too hot. Otherwise he'd be in here bragging...

he should go back to day trading....

???? update??

I played against stocktrader about a week ago, and took him out early from a $22 SNG with three 10's. He called with an outside straight draw after the flop. I ended 3rd.

updates???

I lost all my money and I'm living in the streets selling my ass for food

Hahaha! Well, 15 days without an update, my guess is that he's propably inside one of those clinics where you get paid to test pills :Graucho

yep. The experiment started June 9th... its July 6th now. I'm guessing the $500 bankroll is gone.

*bump*

What happened?

I'd like to know what happened

Stocktrader lost his money and decided to open a TGP :-)))

:glugglug

If he did lose it would be nice if he was man enought to admit it :2 cents:

Even if he did lose some of us poker fans could maybe learn a thing or 2 from his experience

Come on nigga let us know, we know you've seen the thread :)

Got to around $2400 in just under 2 weeks and had to stop updating because of some personal issues that came up.

hehe, everyone loses in the end

You sound like my 80 year old grandma. But no, everyone doesn't eventually lose in poker. Try again.

Congrats :thumbsup Are you gonna do another update when you got time of how you got to $2400 ?
