Latest accomplishment is being busted out of the PokerOwned $35 freeroll on Carbon by someone playing 44 under the gun. Smooth calls preflop to my push with AK suited. Flop comes out with diamond draw, and inside straight draw. Missed everything. Not happy right now lol
That's a nice accomplishment, you lost a single race in which you were approximately 50-50....that means that if that accomplishment is postworthy, all the other happenings for you on Carbon must be 1) winning races....2) moneying regularly in Carbon tourneys 3) Occasionally moneying with big cashes, for example 1sts, 2nds, 3rds 4) Occasionally outdrawing others when you're behind 5) Avoiding bad beats more so than other players...etc etc etcQuote:

Every time I gamble that my opponent does not have the card I'm afraid he does have, my gamble loses and that opponent does indeed have the one card I'm scared he might have. Every time I get my money in best against 2 different players, one of those players lays a 20%er on me and gets there (ex: I have AA, my 2 oponents have JJ and 66, one of them ALWAYS gets either their set or some incredibly lucky combination leading to a str8 or flush. This has gone on now for, no, not days, not weeks, not months but a SOLID YEAR of NEVER EVEN CASHING, even though I\'m a solid WINNING player in poker overall...
so that\'s my accomplishment....it\'s way way way way more incredible than any negative accomplishment you have ever achieved.
havent really had any thanks for rubbing it in lol
I just finished 30 day rehab for alcohol. I hope to stay sober for the rest of my life. I\'ve won and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars playing poker and have many accomplishments and losses, but sobriety would be the biggest of all.
Congratulations and I wish you the best of luck with this. One day at a time.Quote:

Thanks for sharing that accomplishment, Gunsmoke....I'm on 22 months myself and life is much better for me. I may bitch and complain about bad beats and such, but to wake up in the morning with the desire to play more poker and live life to the fullest is a great feeling.Quote:
