Well, at least I did.

I used to be lucky as hell. All the bad beats went my way, I caught all my flush draws and filled up when I needed to, Blackjack was easy winnings, and I used to actually hit Royals when I played VP.

Not anymore.

I really think their something to this. At least for me it is.

Let's just admit that there are forces at play in our lives that nobody but the initiated can fully understand. SBRPhillyFlyers for one. :0008

I've noticed it too. I can't even hit a two team $20 parlay anymore because I can't pick two in a row. Poker no luck.. Slots, forget it.. Do you think we,re using up our luck,just on living?

Today is not the first time I've said that, I've been talking about this for a few years now. I can't hit shit anymore and I use to be lucky. People called me "lucky". They sure don't now. WTF?

I know exactly what you mean. I can never be there for the big win.I can be close to having a big day but something always backfires now a days. Used to have a lot better luck when I was young. It's not from lack of trying either cause I love the action. Maybe it's a confidence thing. We roll dice at our club $1 a roll one time per day..Roll 5 of a kind= $1000. One guy has done it 4 times.... probably 6 guys 3 times. Me- zip ,nil ,shit. I feel like the reason they're so lucky.As a matter fact I guess I am. You got to be nuts not to roll though. Right?

I've never hit a royal in my entire life (granted, I don't play a ton of video poker but still, not a single one). But two months ago, I sat next to you while you played for maybe two hours, and you hit one. So they still come occasionally!

:0003 Who do you think taught me?

My luck was all bunched up in my early-mid 30's. Everything good seemed to always happen, particularly gambling. 7-team parlays, royal flushes ....did I ever tell you about the dealt royal on 100-play machine? :mj07:

My 40's have been sent from Hell so far. Career fell apart, cant drink without blacking out, DUI, no more royal flushes, no more parlays, etc etc. :violin:

I played craps with this guy a few months ago who bet a quarter on a hard 8, said "hard 8", rolled a hard 8, parlayed that hard 8, then rolled it again 2 rolls later. All I remember after that was the dude getting pushed a lot of purple chips! :142smilie:popcorn2
