I could swear, the chorus just kept getting louder the closer I got back to even!
Usually when I'm stuck a few BI, I get into this tilt feedback loop, and I'm usually way stuck before I get the right focus to get half of it back.
(I was stuck real bad about a year ago and played for like 10 hours straight, just flatlining. Towards the end, players who I'd never seen before were speaking Australian. Finally a morning bird Euro who I was playing with when I started came back on and I realized it was time to give up!)
So it was nice for once to skip over the tilt phase and go straight to the driven by a divine spirit to conquer phase.
If I could just do that all the time, maybe I can move up!
There's a 2p2 thread on how long some people have played live continuously - unbelievable durations like Fri night until Sunday morning!
I was watching 2m2mm and they talked about a lock-in or lock-down or something where they would go into a room and not come out until they were unstuck.
I wish I had that kind of willpower - the only times I ever play hours on end is when I've accidentally gone deep into an MTT...
I'm usually the first guy to leave our local 200NL live game across the river in Allston.
Well, actually, I haven't played there in two seasons now. The last time I left it was because I broke the table; figuratively -- I stacked three people, and didn't want to move over to play ten handed (and I was drunk before I got there). And at least two plus two plus two'ers were regs in the game that game (counting myself and including Split before he went off to Vegas) who I knew about and I can't imagine how many more there were that I didn't. Tough game.
But usually I'm there and it's Friday night: I've had a long week, and I'm not getting a hand I would spit at. I just know to leave before my patience leaves me first.
The session above was two and a half hours, a long one for me multi-tabling. I felt like I was starting to play very bad in the Sunday Million two weeks ago after a mere 5 hours one tabling.
