Is McDonald's recruiting?

Let again I don’t really know where to begin; a week or two seems an eternity in the poker world.

So much can happen within such a short space of time, not really that surprising actually considering the volatility of no limit poker.

Friday night I went from being up £200 in a session, to walking out of the casino recording a £900 loss all within 90 minutes.

I often feel powerless to the will of the cards. The cards will fall as they please, and there is nothing we can do about that.

The run of the cards is an equaliser, a variable which every player has an equal footing on.

However bad you play, you will not be any luckier or unluckier than someone else.

Also just because you play good, doesn't mean you deserve any better neither, you will have the same fucking run of cards as a hopeless tron who doesn't even know a house beats a flush.

Though because a good player will not often get his money in bad, he will not get lucky as frequently, and therefore it will appear that he always gets unlucky.

Fact is he gets his opponents to put their money in bad often, and most the time the good guy wins when their hand hold up, but sometimes they don't, and more often he gets people to put their money in bad, the more often he gets unlucky.

So the better you play the more unlucky you get. So if you think you are the unluckiest poker player in the world, you must be really good!

In my case, I don't often curse my luck, but my ability. I actually pride myself on not telling bad beat stories, I may sometimes tell you about "coolers", and may run through a hand, but I wont seek out people for sympathy. Because I don't fucking care for that -and the reality is I am not that unlucky to tell the truth.

I am blessed (well actually cursed) with the ability to run good most the time, but get fucked when it really matters. The "breakers", be it session, month, year...life. Key moments, as I mentioned in previous posts I tend to lose these.

Here is one of them moments...



Deep into the Sunday $250k Guarantee. 30,000 runners down to 90. I have $1.5 million chips. Mother fucking $1.5 million chips! 15th/90.

Running super good all tournament cant lose a flip! 1st pays $26k. Dreaming of the "one time". Every fucking day donkeys take down these crap shoot events, could it be my day? I really was beginning to think it was.

Obviously not, I find the guy one guy on the table who can bust me, and lose a flip. I was kind of angry with myself for getting myself in that spot.

But all tournament I was playing to win, and I am not passing AK suited, to a button raise when I am in the small blind.

I busto, and immediately feel sick. Felt like quiting, enough. When will it be my time? One time? This $26k, would of done a lot. I would of snap quit work and flown out to Vegas the next day.

Its not even the money side of it, but the confidence boost, that I am not just another dumb ass grinder with no skill, but maybe a decent poker player with some game.

Oh well, my heart is getting stronger every time I suffer one of these "breakers".
I suck it up, and move on.

Wow....hold on! This is not good! This post it getting negative! We don't need that...we got Rob's blog for suicidal rants! (just kidding -love the blog, I always feel the need to kill myself after reading it though!).

Let again I don't really want to talk about Friday's hands, and how I lost £900. I should, but I wont! Instead I will make fun of Rob....

I love Rob. We all know what a sick player he is. However I am very concerned about him.

So firstly Rob here are some numbers which you might want to keep handy:

Alcoholics Anonymous: 0845 769 7555 (National Helpline) - 01904 644026 (To find local group)

DrinkLine: 0800 917 8282

There is always help at hand bro, please reach out.

He is going through some rough shit right now, mainly involving the women. Rob is always coming up to me, and begging for advise, and asking me "how can be more like you Yigit?".

So here is some pointers, you will start closing more pussy than doors if you do the following...

Change your look...

And also I know you have "jazzed" up your clothes recently, and got rid of the brown shoes (allowing you to number close that hot chick at The Empire...with them brown fuckers you could of never done that!). But take it a step further....try some of these attires....

Give it a go man! Please.

Quick shout out to Jamie, chipped up going into Day 2 of the Main Event, one time please!

Ohh and one final shout out to the Arab cunt who called me with ace high on Friday, you are a fucking moron, and I hope you fucking catch AIDS and die.

I know I have real class right?
