The Long Run

Requiem4adream

Ahhh the fabled "long run"! does this magical place exist, is it folklore, rumour or legend?

Took a pretty hefty beat earlier, a friend tried to cheer me up by reminding me that in the "long run" i'll get the better of these comedians limp-reraising me with K7o and nailing my QQ.

Au Contraire! I beg to differ! Not discounting the increasing probability i may in fact be 1 of the afore mentioned comedians, its got me thinking which events will happen 1st before i reach the Promised Land!!!!

It may be too long for you or I to benefit from.

:mad:

The long run is nearly a month of playing about 800 hands a day.

Not the best seat. Camby is very tough to play against.

Who is it though? Not Jarod Hamby?

StraddleFor6

No. Big winner on stars, including the million in the last few months. Jared hamby is "TheWacoKidd" on stars.

im thinking now might be a good time to drop anchor!! foldathon!

Requiem4adream

lol. drop anchor = lost 1/4 stack!! haha

Jesus Wept

Is Shorr just randomly shilling his site/some site he has links too?

Requiem4adream

some people have no shame!

Jesus Wept

nice push

Edit: heh, u had KK

Thought it was nice if you had not much
cuz you have being raising fairly often from early/utg, so wasn't surprised to see him raise you.

Requiem4adream

i still liked it lol. i like any hand that results in me not exiting!

Jesus Wept

Good god that was an ill river, I'd of called light there.

Requiem4adream

back to the Long Run!!!

StraddleFor6

Requiem4adream

Def not against camby, blind v blind.

Ul, again.

Requiem4adream

Gutting felt like i was gonna score big back there, i'd have preferred to get 7 2 for the next 50 hands and fold my way into 10k oh well! thx for the railing!!

Requiem4adream

Ahhh 5 hours sleep and im good as new! coolered out of a possible 45k after almost 8 hours but nobody died!!

Back on topic, or a variation of on topic:

Any of ye ever worry that the "long run" is our way of telling ourselves that we're better than these guys, i.e. we must win over an extended period..... what im getting at, is it just something we cling to when times are bad? a misplaced euphemism?

I'd be willing to make a bold blanket statement and say Boardsies as a collective will beat the general poker playing populous in the 'long run', but what if our edge or perceived edge over them isnt enough to justify the journey?

* hope that makes sense, trying to use proper poker terms n stuff lol

Just the kind of cheerful theories I need on a -6 buy-in slide!

The long run is always much longer than you think.
