Awful results at the Resorts
August 26, 2007 2:33 pmOkay, last night I played at the Resorts Casino at East Chicago. I’ve done very good at the $20/$40 game over there so far, but last night was one of those nights…
I played the $20/$40 game for about 12 straight hours. Bottom line I lost $3000. The players were much worse than the usual nights. You would think that I make more money but I just got so unlucky through the night. The first two yhours I turned my $700 buy in to $3000, but I don’t quit based on how much I’ve made (I used to) - I rather set times for myself…
But during the rest of the night I just kept losing big pots and eventually decided to leave as I was getting on tilt. Just examples of the hands:
- I had AA in small blind, Button raises, I three bet, he caps with K5 off suit. Flop comes 58Q. I bet, he raises, I three bet, he caps again. Turn comes another rag. He bet, I raise, he three bet, I flat call. River (ofcourse) is a K and he wins the pot.
I can go on and on about the hands, but I guess that is poker,AND the reason I’ve made so much money at Resorts so far. Sometimes you run bad.
At the end I felt like I wasn’t playing my best game anymore, as I was getting on tilt and tired, and also I was passed couple hours passed my preset time. So I left $3000 down…
Oh, I forgot to mention that one of the main reasons my loss was so much was that the first 7 hours of my play was shorthanded which means more up and downs…
I don’t think I will go there for a while now, as I have school and busy weekends. In the meantime I’m gonna work more on PokerEagles.com to make it more popular and create a bigger community.

I’ve never been a fan of “quitting while you’re ahead” or even quitting when you’ve lost a certain amount of money. Nima has the right idea. Play as long as the game is good unless you’re tired or on tilt. Even if I’m tired, I’ll continue to play if I’m performing better than my opponents. It sucks losing to bad players, but as Nima said, it’ll come back to you if you continue to play well. With that said, I would love to get into this game!
