People very rarely post hand histories of the hands where they make the biggest mistakes.Sometimes because they're embarassed.But mostly because they just dont know what they did was a mistake. Because if they did, they wouldnt have done it in the first place. So those hands never get posted... instead, the "bad beat" hands are posted as a means of explaining the "variance!!!".

I pretty much only post the hands where I make a mistake...

Alright, good call. And for anyone who cares, I posted some hands in the Limit Strategy, so go check them out and let me know how much I suck!

I wasn't saying it was truly shocking, but all of these beats happeing in the same day, during the same session, that is pretty sick. Those beats alone were accoutable for over $500 in losses. That sucks.

fwiw, every hand in the most recent post contains (arguably) a mistake. in two of those your mistake is only not having enough $ at the table. it saved you there, but that is a huge mistake.

what is wrong with you? you quoted me? And honestly I'm tryin to talk strategy here. Why do you fold AK knowing they have QJ?I see I really struck a chord by saying that to you. Did that hurt your feelings?

I believe they're refering to Quiz Q 21 about the AK on the first hand of the WSOP Zach

His sentence still doesn't make any sense.The best part is that he made whatever mistake he made in two seperate posts.

he's referring to a discussion that he and i had awhile back about the hypothetical question that daniel posed for the current quiz. of course, in our discussion phil ivey and gus hansen weren't at the players table. the thread is not worth finding. the only important part of the thread was when i said that the goal of most tournaments (more specifically, SNG's) was not showing down a hand. bas said it couldn't be done, which caused me to play 100 $1 sng's wtih my cards covered (i taped paper onto the screen). i finished with a positive ROI. (slight brag)since i don't want to fully hijack this thread: corp-how did it go the other night? how's it been running since? how are you doing mentally? it's tough. we know. i hope things are going well.
