Looks like you guys are going strong again once more, I really want to be with you guys but I am quite afraid of it unfortunately, it is a good amount of money to join to begin with, it is not free but even at free option (and that is a big IF) I wouldn't have the courage.

How do you guys feel when someone just destroys you and you get out very early? I get the people who go all in right away from the start so that they could start with more chips and have an advantage or just leave early, but I am not one of them, if I am just actually playing and doing my best and lose at the very first table, I would feel very very horrible about it hence why I couldn't get in. Kudos to winners so far, I would bet on bitmutiny to win after this, half is already over and dude is way ahead of everyone else Cheesy.

I can just speak from my experience. I had few good runs in some tournaments and I had many quick exits. How I cope with the situation when someone destroys me? Well that depends on the reason why I got destroyed. If it was my fault I try to learn from my mistake and do better next time. If the other guy just had better hand and I did everything as I should I just go over it without a second thought. That things happens in poker often and you just have to learn to cope with it. Some hands go your way while some don't, all you can do is play percentages to try to swing the game to your favor more often than not.

I started with this series at time I had to be at home because of corona lock down and was fully expecting to stop playing when life gets back to normal. Guess what? I got hooked and played every single tournament in all our series so far. I had great fun and can't imagine my Sunday without a game of poker now. I feel like I know most of the regulars now and that is a great thing.

I guess it comes down to the money in the end. You have to comfortable with the amount you are gambling with, otherwise you just end up in downward spiral and that is no fun. My mate tyKiwanuka has graciously offered to sponsor one new player and I believe you tick all the boxes, so scroll up few posts and apply if you are interested to try our series.
