    Why Poker Fukkin Sucks.

    40 people left, I am like 7th in chips on Heritage. Top 30 get paid. Long story short, guy calls preflop raises with shithead hands and hits a gut shot straight, then the very next hand same guy busts me with running diamonds.

    Poker is not profitable because I have learned that no matter the stakes, people are gonna play like idiot penetrates and get paid.

    Hold'em is a shitheads game. All luck. Thank you DOJ for fukkin us all out of Poker Stars and real sites that offer games other than hold em and omaha.

    I only play on these sites when I don't have anything to do. I am a writer by profession, so my days are pretty full but late night I get bored and tend to play poker, slots, etc.

    I am good at betting on sports, but the problem is all that other petty shit gets in the way.

    Poker is a game that you play for hours and hours and if you're good player you earned one dollar per hour

    Nothing worse in the world than running bad at poker.

    I'm currently in the midst of it, too.

    if you really just wanted to cash. say top 20 you should have resisted the temptation to play any hands at all. you never know when a hand comes your way and all the sudden you are all-in........sit on your chips next time

    I am superstitious that if I fold the hands I should be playing, my luck will get really bad.

    but to reply to the thread topic...

    Poker used to be free $, now the average player is pretty good...

    Especially in hold'em,

    There are 2 ways to make $ in poker nowadays...

    1: Host a game,

    2: House games

    You're wasting your time otherwise...

    Hang around some players who aren't degenerate gamblers and you'll find most of them aren't flat broke

    To the OP: I hate to rain on your parade, but as long as I don't see those 2 hands, the title isn't legit.

    I hate to say it, but NL Tournament Poker turns into a Lotto Fest when low a stack player's ultimatum is to shove & pray for the best.

    I do this almost to a fault. I bleed chips through the blinds by folding everything besides aces and kings. I fold ak suited early position even with no raise. Spent too much time to not cash from someone cooling me or outdrawing.
