I think I have bubbled so many times recently in tournaments that when I fart, bubbles spray out of my butt... A great novelty for entertaining guests and my kids of course, but my wife doesn't appreciate it so much.
I am down a little on every site I play on for the weekend, almost proportionate to the amount I play on each site. Like about $200 on 1 site, $100 on another and $20 on another. I can blame it all on the "bubble", I mean I would have been up or at least broke even this weekend if not for the dreaded "bubble".
I have even resorted to playing free rolls on Pokerstars while I watch training videos on pokerstrategy and PokerVT to get my "fix" of poker playing and remind myself how BAD players at the free roll level are.
I played a bunch of $3 games on PS to see if it is just variance, and of course when QQ loses to A8o you know it is just pure luck. Yet that is when the anal bubbles started.
I played in the 25K million dollar challenge as well and broke the 1000 player mark out of 31000 entrants and didn't run too hot near the end, 1 hand which would have changed the game;
I shoved AQo w 10BB's from the BB into 3 limpers and they all called. 1 had J10o, another 78o and the last 66. Needless to say I didn't hit and a 237,000 chip pot went to the "Genius" who called with J10o.
I did a lot better in my last attempt in that tournament breaking the top 100 but it only pays the top 10 out of over 30,000 players.... Why do I even bother? It's free for one, and 1st place pays $20,000 soo I guess I'll try again if they keep running it.
The sickest thing about all this "bubble" crap is I played and bubbled like 9 tournaments in a row at 1 point and a total of about 30 times out of 50 some odd tournaments this weekend on just 1 site alone. I stopped counting the bubbles after I made a post on the PokerVT forum and got some advice from 1 of the pros, Derek Williams, and I realized that most of my plays were okay and that I just need to make more notes on some players and shove a little tighter on the bubble against people who will call with medium strength hands.
It's a good thing the kids were with my mother-in-law riding on a float in the Santa Claus Parade, the largest in Canada for a night time parade, and then spent the night, so they didn't have to endure all my cursing and swearing.
The Queen and I went to a Gala dinner for my work Union and then watched some movies. After which I stayed up late and continued my "bubble madness", cursing and swearing was on the entire menu for this weekend from the entrees, double helping of main course, and some desert with me finally realizing I was kind of tilting when I started calling people "tools" in the chat box, which is not even half of the words I was yelling at my computer screen.
I usually get a "bubble" laugh out of busting other people and them calling me names, so I guess in fairness it was my turn to be the tool of tools and swear while sticking up my middle finger at the computer and calling the online site "rigged"... of course that's only when I get beat.
I know it's not rigged, and I know it's variance and bubbling happens to all of us, it just sucks ass when it happens so often and in a row on all the sites I am playing on.
Okay so I think I got out all of the "gas bubbles" and my wife is begging me to stop as she has run out of air freshener, but the kids are having a great laugh anyway now that they are home, who doesn't love the old "pull my finger" line even if they know what is coming.
Plus I am all out of clean underwear and the Queen refuses to do any laundry tonight...
