So, I took a shot

Hey there!

Given FTP's collapse, I only have about a hundo online, and I signed into a tourney that was $5 buy in, +2 $5 rebuys (if under 1,000,000) and one $5 add-on. I clearly bought in for the max, and then did the add on. Here's how my run-bad kicked in (note - run-bad can be confirmed by roommate, and these hands are back to back, and in the span of 5 minutes). I should mention that average stack at this point was about 14k...

ouuuuch... 3 outer, again, a less than stellar draw for the villain, and I got nailed.. Well, that leaves me with almost nothing, and I push next hand 608 chips with Q7o, and lose....

Anyways, I'm just saying, I played every hand to Skylansky's perfection, and got hardcore fucked. It happens, and I still am not wearing a tinfoil hat! My roommate asked me why I hadn't thrown my laptop through a window, but c'est la vie!

  • H1....nc (I folded)

    H2....std yup

    H3...did i miss something here? :p

    H4....grats on getting it in good with a pair of tens 9 kicker!
  • I'm not the world's most experienced player, but risking nearly your whole stack preflop on T9 offsuit is something I wouldn't do.

    And wait until everybody finds out that the guys in tinfoil hats were right all along. The afterlife will definitely be an interesting place.
  • risking nearly your whole stack preflop on T9 offsuit is something I wouldn't do.

    Didn't.

    is this thread about actively discouraging the guy from playing online poker again or for discouraging the guy from venting his experiences again?
  • Whatever you want to be honest.

    I know how I played them, and liked my play in each (there's not just the HH at play there). I posted mostly just as a "Wow, did I ever get a series of fucked" and I'd guess bragging that I"m not doomsday prophesising.

  • First hand villain is repping a great hand with the bet on the turn - Q8 str8 (made with pocket nines) , A10 str8 (made with AKos), trip 10's or trip J's. His betting pattern from the BB makes sense with these hands. At this point I think I'm now drawing for a K or Q to win. Not sure if I would have called there.

    Sure lots of players raise with 99, TT, JJ or AK in the BB, but chances are that raise in the BB will be put all-in by you or the next guy.

    His call on the flop to your bet probably had you discounting those hands he repped on the turn, except if he was trapping with J's and didn't want you to hit your str8 on the river.

    I think his acting was good and he got lucky.

    Last hand, SB vs BB, Snyder says raise if the SB doesn't even without looking at your cards. You just checked. I wouldn't have called an all-in on the flop with just top pair with both str8 and flush draws on the board even if I was drawing to the nut str8.

    my 2 cents.
  • Analysis on hands with results posted can be taken with a grain of salt. Hindsight is always 20/20. I doubt you make the same comments if you weren't shown villain's hands in each spot.
  • To add to westside's input

    THere was more to this than the HH provides too - reads / PT stats / etc.
