Losing at poker sucks. It sucks hard - and it also blows... which apprently means the same thing. So far this trip I've been beat up, weed on and generally brutalised. Don't panic I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime and start telling bad beat stories - I haven't had many in the classic mold. The story of my trip is every time I have a hand they have a bigger one and thats difficult to play against. I've made some good laydowns in fact my new specialised poker subject is losing the minimum....ask me how. The side of poker that isn't talked about too much but will affect your results a lot (once you can play) is emotional control. You need to play with confidence and make good decisions even if you're having a losing run. I'm doing okay with it but its not fun. Still play through it I say... that or drink myself to death and the cocktails are complimentary..... Watched the WSOP money bubble burst yesterday - it was a really great piece of poker theatre. Staged managed and very dramatic. The short stacks were desperately trying to hang on as their friends and relatives nearly died on the rail. Then the room exploded when the bubble finally burst and they were all in the money. Many of them satellited in so had just won 22k of almost pure profit so you can understand the elation - it was something to see. Right I'm back off to my bitter barn
