Then these games are NOT for you!
Case in point: I play an hour and a half of Limit, and am down 19 Big Bets.
I take a break.
I sit in at a different table and promptly go down another 8 Big Bets.
The faint of heart (and maybe the smart!) would have given up and left, down 25 Big Bets, but I was playing a good game and getting unlucky (KK cracked by a maniac with 64o making a 9-5 straight), so I hung in there.
By the end of the second hour and a half, I'm almost back to even for the whole 3 hours, being down only a Big Bet and a half.
I've had better sessions, but I did pick up 43 Poker Points while I was at it. 61 left to clear my bonus! :woot:
Remember, you HAVE to put your chips in the pot to WIN the pot, and Raising when you have the best hand is ALWAYS a good move. You can't play a winning game if you're afraid of the suck out. In the long run, making them pay for their draws earns more when they miss than it costs when they hit.
