POWER OF THE MIND

edited January 2010 in Area 51
was just wondering ,if any1 else gets that feeling, just b4 the card comes that busts u.its like u know its gonna b that card,and it is ,ALWAYS.surely if it was truly random sometimes you or i would be wrong,but i/we are never wrong..are we willing that card to come, for some obscure reason.is it ESP or foresight,WHY when u need a card ,u will it for all your might, but it  seldom comes.i have in the past shouted really loudly for that card,the only 1 that can save me,and it has come,certainly not as often as the 1 i dont want 2 see,but nevertheless it comes..im guessin this site is satuarated with players who all have the ability to use the POWER OF THE MIND to make their cards appear when i dont want 2 see them..

    The same reason John Sargeant did so well on Strictly Come Prancing. There are many people who like to have a laugh and stick it to the "experts". They don't give a d*** who is the best dancer or the best act. These are the same people (including me) who wanted to let katie price know what they REALLY thnk of her on I'm a **** Get me out of here and voted for her to do 7 trials in a row. Its a great country because we have so many people like that.

    As I said in the post he's been at it for some time. He raised into every pot. He played fairly strong continuation bets. He was uber-agressive in every hand. A re-raise would make him fold. When he hit anything on the board he would go all in. What isn't shown here is that me and another guy had already taken £25 off this scoundrel. When he just kept betting into the pot I flat called, by the turn and river his betting pattern had followed everything previous and I was sure he hadn't hit. Knowing the way he'd been playing previously I was never folding to him. I had him on QJ and it turned out to be JT.

    Or was it ESP :o)
