A Nice Run at Poker Stars

I played 3 of the 180 man $20 buy in tourneys over the last 3 days;

Game 1 = 9th place
Game 2 = 3rd place
Game 3 = 1st place

Cashed about $1,600 over all.

Better try the $750K on Sunday at this rate!

  • Nice! :ah :ac :ad :as
  • I am getting absolutely KILLED on Stars the past three weeks. After coming in second and third in 2 different 180's, I have had to reload because I am getting rivered to absolute agonizing death...I am ready to quit...seriously...

    It's like that Moby album "Everything is Wrong."

    NOTHING IS WORKING...HELP!!!!

    Bill ...this just sucks
  • Geez. I don't know what to tell you man! Maybe just play some lower stakes SnG's until your bad cards run dry. I know that a few months ago I was getting rivered like crazy on Stars. It was too the point I was convinced it was rigged. Stupid shit like loosing two straight hands with pocket KK, then loosing a 3rd straight when my pocket AA get cracked by those same pocket KK.

    Just find a way to ride out the storm.

    I'm up over 2K in the last 5 days.
  • get one of the programs which plays for you. just get it off the internet. they allow you to pick what cards you want it to look for and what ones you want to fold. you can set it so that it can fold at bets, all of the time, or check, or do whateveer youwant it to do.
  • Nice work Cheese!!

    I played two of those on Tuesday night and was doing ok in the first one, but then lost a whack of chips with 77 vs 66....with a 6 high flop, then the very next hand lost the rest of my chips with 77 vs 66...this time all in preflop, and again like a trained seal the 6 shows up on the flop.

    Immediately joined the second game and was on major tilt from the gate...can't recall a single hand , busted out 115th, for my worst finish ever.

    Playing tournament poker can be discouraging when you feel like you are always getting outdrawn. Trust me I went on a rush for a few months then it came back to bite me for a bit but you have to look back on how you play when you feel down. Sometimes you get out of your gameplan and pick up some bad habits...I know I do. Just keep putting your chips in good situations and see where you can tweak you game to improve....in the long run you will profit.
  • PokerStars must be watching!!!

    After this original post, I'm getting killed on the river time after time after time, by the stupidest F'ing calls!

    Dropped $300 last night! Oh well, time to go back to the $20 tourneys!
