Another GOOD BEAT!!!
Okay so this section can be a bit depressing. We all take badbeats - - ALOT of them if you play any kind of volume in MTT & SNG play. Some days the beats are just amazingly bad/unreal & happen many times in succession. Is there any benefit to posting about them, whining about them, sharing them with friends, etc.? Umm.. not.. BUT I still find myself doing it at times anyways.. & really don't like that I choose to do this. I mean I don't want to be the guy on someone's MSN or Skype list who is the guy who's venting "I run so f'n bad".. "I'm due for a big cash".. "I can't believe the bs I've been running into". Who wants to hear that? (my cat doesn't want to hear about it). BUT.. I still do it.. far too often. I'm trying to change though as I want to become a better player... always working at it & KNOW for sure that spending any time at all on badbeats is wasted time.. wasted effort,.. wasted energy,... just a total waste period.
So,..here's my contribution called.. "Another GOOD BEAT". The kind of beatdown where again you ask yourself "What in the fk was that guy thinking?!?!?!" .. but with a twist.. when it results in benefit to you in the 'short run', lol.
Here's one to get going with - - What in the fk were they thinking?
