Ok - well most people know that my Monte Carlo event didnt go too well - and just like my, Irish Deep Stacks, Irish Open and most other live events this year my demise was ill fated!
HOWEVER - Laurence Gosney is always around when Im recalling my bad beat stories - and he likes to remind me that I am 'always' doing it! I hate to be seen as a whinger - and i know we all go through it - so Im going to try and stiffen the bottom lip (and also get it in bad much more often)
I quite like the Middy approach of just saying "Aces" (although what he usually means is that he 5 bet his 73o into Aces
)
So from now on I am just going to use the following code:
Losing a:
50/50 - standard
60/40 - fairly standard
70/30 - meh you know
80/20 - yeah! one of them
<10% - he made a good call
<5% - pretty much outplayed
Eg:
"you out"
"yeah"
"how"
"pretty much outplayed"
I will then obvioulsy retire to the nearest car park and kill a stray cat..................
but in 2010 and beyond - I no longer tell bad beat stories!
Thanks for listening................ or not as the case wil be
