Joyce's bad luck

Got this from Joyce today:

Here's my sad story for the day - I played all last weekend on a "Megabucks" machine in Harrah's in a.c. I had such a feeling for the machine and a friend told me when the jackpot goes to $10 million, Megabucks hits. Anyway, long story short, I played Friday, Sat., Sunday and Monday, blew $2000 in the stupid thing, and it hit (largest jackpot paid in a.c.) on Tuesday - the exact machine I was playing. Can you believe it? I've been so sick over it....

My response:

Wow, that sucks. The LARGEST ever paid? Holy shit. How big was it?

Jesus that sucks. You have my kind of luck. It must run in the family.

I quit playing professionally a few months ago after I lost $1000 in two hands. I had KJ and I was up again a guy who was going all-in on every hand with nothing. He was drunk and had lost about $4000 in the 2 hours I'd been at the table. He bet $50 preflop and I called. The flop was K4Q and he bet $100, I raised to $300, he called. The next card was a 9, he went all-in for 200 more, I called. The river was an 3. He had 39 offsuit. The very next hand I was on the button with JJ, 4 people called ahead of me for $50 each, I went all-in for my remaining 300 or so and got 2 callers - AA and KK.

I did manage to qualify for a 44 man "best of the best" freeroll at Rio though. I came in 11th - 10 places paid. Last hand, blinds were 1500/3000, guy in first position goes all-in for 14000, everyone else folds, I'm on the button with AK suited and 13000, if he has ANY two cards other than AA/KK I have the odds to call, so I do, figuring if he had AA/KK he wouldn't have gone all in (he'd want a caller). He has KK, and I'm gone. If I folded and waited I woulda made $3000.

So right now concentrating on my new company (www.clickprotector.com) and hope to have it up and running very shortly, and at long last. I have spent the last few days setting up credit card processing, and tonight at 3am or so, an automated script will run, and we'll see if it works.

Although I am not playing anymore, it's mainly because the money I have is being saved for this business, I don't want to risk more KJ vs 39 bullshit. If I make good money doing clickprotector, I hope to be back at the tables. Do you or Gary plan to play in any WSOP events?
