Emo rant
one thing that will forever suck about poker is when you lose, no one fucking gives a shit. Even if someone did listen to your story about your losses, they'll never understand. You simply can't convey how unprobable your losses are to anyone. And sometimes its not even how unprobable they were, its how they happened. It's like watching a baseball game. Yea, you see the score at the end and you watched the highlights on sportscenter, but unless you watched the whole game, you can't come near to understanding the drama that may have occurred.
And I don't even know what it is about losing that people feel the need to be heard, but its definitely a constant in poker. People can't stop talking about their losses -> no one gives a shit.
I had the worst day of my career today. And its going to take a serious gut check to get back in the game because this one ruined me.

well said!
Talk about FULL TILT! And I have to say that I can understand the pain others have when they lose money. Getting to the point where we understand the risk/reward of our play is where we can become winning players.
Variance is a bitch and nothing teaches you that like poker. Keep at it... also we have to get out for some live action again... next Wednesday perhaps?
heh yea thanks for the support. Makes me feel gooey.
I wish that full tilt live poker place didn't have such a high rake, but I may have to make a trip down with you sometime just to blow off some steam. I'll give you a shout.
