Poker Compadres
I have noticed an emerging pattern whilst playing limit tables on Pacific Poker and was wondering if you guys had any similar experiences...

Take yesterday for example. I play for about an hour from 2pm - 3pm and make about $50 profit.


I then login again at around 6/7ish and within 1 hour i have lost $50.

i resign myself to the fact its being crap and leave.


today i make 80$. then i sit down later and lose 40 of it but manage to recover 35 of the loss so im still up up up.


now i have a feeling if i continued playing id get chipped away over time back down to whatever i started with today. (so ive left it for tonight because im happy with the profit ive made)


Do any of you guys find that the software itself seems to 'hand you luck' and then take it away once it decides youve won enough for today...

There have been numerous times now when i will hit two pair on the flop. raise all the way to the river to have some punk ass ****tard hit a flush when he only hit a single suited card on the flop.

Or my trips will be beaten by a straight on the river (or a flush which is also fairly common)


Now it cant just be in my imagination because ive talked to other people and they experience the same thing. That you can win a certain amount and then all of a sudden, even if your play style doesnt change, you start losing. It gives you hands and then cruelly takes it all away suddenly and hands it to a retard who doesnt know his ass from his elbow.


(LOLZ LETS CALL WITH 82 OFFSUIT!)
Or instead of giving you decent cards preflop it begins dishing out crap that never hits. Or it gives you great cards that miss etc etc. Whereas before if you call with pretty much ANYTHING you hit at least a pair and win or whatnot.

Does anyone know anyone whos actually programmed one of these poker clients or maybe one of you maths wizkids can explain why "luck" does seem to come in phases.

Ive noticed that overall it seems to look something like this :

but i dont know why it happens like that.

poker's never about the actual cards.
It's about the other players.

Re: Poker Compadres
if the answers given to jammyjims interesting thread (and wonderfully drawn graph) were any more cliched and effortless, they would break the"lazyclicheometer". If such a thing were to exist,

not that ive got anything useful to contribute myself that is.

Re: Poker Compadres
I've been playing at partypoker.com for just over a week now and my winnings seem to correspond somewhat with your graph. I'm only playing at the lowest stakes table for real money while I learn, but yesterday I made over $40 and right now I've lost the majority of that again. I won three hands in a row then got nothing for ages. Then I eventually hit 3 of a kind aces, thinking this was my long awaited winning hand I kept raising, only to be beaten by a flush.. when the guy had offsuits pre-fllop. I dunno jack shit about programming but it feels a bit non-random to me. I want my money back!

Re: Poker Compadres
You could always 'not play again' until the circle of doom has gone full spin and you'll be back in the 'win-win' zone and can stop being quite so jealous of Dace.

Pokertracker is your friend here. Are you playing LAGgy in your second session? Are the other players playing tighter? It's only a shame it doesn't run under Wine or I'd use it

Another possibility, has the working world finished work for your second stint? Maybe the players at 2-3pm BST are unemployed Europeans and students, perhaps the more experienced players and pros are not playing at that time.

Not that I play poker online, but I was thinking about the same.
Another explanation is that JJ is getting tired after a few hours, and then starts to loose consentration...
