At what point do I give up playing poker?

[TerpZone]

Ugh. This is why I try to avoid cash games. Because even though I'm better than everyone I'm playing with, people suck out and it costs me more than a tourny buyin would cost.

Rough dude.

Twice today I've had top pair or higher pocket pair to a 4 cards on the board straights. It's been a rough day, and have lost everything I've touched (NDNPT game excluded, thank god)

[markjfixit]

well at least you pulled that off,I am glad I didnt lose everything today has been super rough on me too.

[TerpZone]

I can't even fathom how large a favorite I was when all the chips went into the middle of the pot here after the flop. I had to be 90-95% to at very worst split.

You shud quit when you get half as many beats as i do

[PANAMHIEST]

Thats pretty much spells out why I completely quit playing cash money poker until im a billionaire, which means never. I refuse to play cash, because of hands like the one above. Sorry to hear you had such a bad outing in cash, but ya if your serious about quitting cash, it isnt so bad plus youll have more to play tournament and itll take longer to lose it till you get that next big cash.

[Lilred36]

Thats bad Terp you see alot strange chit in cash games, most of those guys that raise all the time at a table I will call withh aa they call hit 2 9 or some chit does get old quick.

[TerpZone]

And then you remember why you play:



In a $7.5 300 chip super turbo matrix, I was dealt 99 once, TT twice (in a row) JJ once, QQ twice, AA three times, AK twice, AJ five times, AT 2 times

I finished 1st/2nd/3rd/5th and won the Matrix by over 10 points. I would have cashed all four by A9 busted my AJ.

At one point I was chip lead in 3/4 and in second in the fourth.
