This is more a question about live games.  I’ve had an extraordinary run of bad luck over the past 6 months and it is almost entirely on massive bad beats.  Normally I’m not one to complain “cause poker” but I’m starting to think I’m doing something to invite bad beats.

I’ve been called the tightest drunk player on earth before but I talk a lot.  I mean, really, I pretty much don’t shut up. It’s all funny and nice so no one ever complains.  However I’m thinking now that my yapping is fooling people into thinking I’m playing every hand when in reality maybe I’ll play twice an orbit.

Last night I got 89 in the button.  Called $2 with a half dozen others.  Flop came 567 with 2 diamonds.  I think you can see where this is heading. Someone bet $35, I raised to $100, 3rd guy who had been the typical mark that thinks they can out smart the drunk person raised all in to about $250 and (after everyone else folded) I pushed all in as well.

I knew what he was gonna turn over before he turned it over.  Shockingly a diamond came on the river and there goes a $500 pot where I flopped the nuts.

I know this isn’t that bad of a bad beat story, I’ve had many worse, This was just the most recent. I’m just at a point now where I feel like my fun play style is inviting bad beats and it’s been so long since I had a monster night to balance it out it’s just frustrating.  Should I be more of a quiet brooding jerk?  No one likes those guys.  Just starting to feel like being fun and friendly is finally starting to work against me ... but my traps are working ... sigh ... ugh ... thanks for reading.
