I'm cursed for these 180man 20+2

Soup

I've made one top 5 playing them, and havent FT in them in over a month now. Play solid for 3 hours and then the curse kicks in!

I called pf hoping to hit and double through or throw it away and wait for another spot.

This happens to me at least 20 times a night. Tough beat.

I don't really care so much about the beat, ya it sucked, but moreso the timing. I always get in great positions to go deep and just can't get there. I'll crack one of these some day.

SirWatts

I ran fairly bad in these for a few months, eventually your luck will come around and you'll win a few.

gokorda

for those who have played in both, are the 20 sngs much tougher than the 4.40 ones?

Soup

Bout damn time had 2 other FT earlier in the week and couldnt crack it!
