Annette_15 Wins A 4.40 180 Blind

[total_con12 0]

ugh, forget the limping, I was talking about myself when I made that comment, not her play.I'm sure she has her reasons for folding so much in the sb when limped to her. Just seemed an inordinate amount, especially because she was playing blind. One aspect of my game where I may have a huge leak and I'm trying to learn.

My apologies for misunderstanding your initial question. Just try to remember you're supposed to lose money in the blinds, just try to minimize exactly how much that amount is..

its really not that big of a deal.. im just going to murder this bubble and chip up... i think this will help my mtt game tho.

I'm watching, it's funny watching you suddenly spring to life everytime time the blinds/button comes around.

found this comment funny I cant see what's special about this. Obviously the player level is way too poor. I've achieved much better then this. I've won a $100 buy-in tourn with 200 players, with my eyes covered and the computer screen turned off.

maybe i should try this... but i know im going busto in the first 30 mins lol ...

[WhatArunAA 0]

well.. i had to look on the river when someone pushed.. and both times I had a flush or a straight.

[WhatArunAA 0]

I had 86k going into the final table.. dusted off 60k and realized i shouldnt be blind anymore.

[hblask 1]

OK, I'm sort of trying this, and I'm now even more convinced that either she is the biggest luckbox in the world, or this was like her 100th try. The reason: because people folded to her raises. That doesn't happen in real 4.40s. Whenever I'm in position, there are 3 or 4 limpers to me, and they all call the raise, whether 3x or 6x. Almost every all-in push by anyone at the table is met with at least one and maybe two callers. I've played a lot of these, and they just don't work like the one she shows. They just don't, at least not until the final 30 players or so.And I'm not just compaining because I'm losing, because I'm actually in pretty good shape. I'm just saying, they rarely play like that one.

[pele_br 0]

OMG donkaments.LOl at someone calling with 7 2 off on the first hand, calling a raise, re-raise and then proceed to go all in on a board 4 5 8 2 hearts (hero had the 2h BTW).

[hblask 1]

OK, I'm doing a slightly modifed version of this, but I'm now 8th of 18. Too funny.

I watched from 20 down to the final table...and it was well done. They had no chance at the FT anyway.

[pele_br 0]

Imagine if ur her opponent heads up later you find that a 19 yr old girl outplayed you while being down 2-1 at one pt without having seen her cards..time to quit poker o rly?

QFT

This doesn't seem all that impressive really. She got all her chips in really bad and sucked out numerous times, and the fact that she attacks blinds/cbets relentlessly is something every decent MTT player does regardless of their hole cards. So not knowing if you hit the flop or not doesn't really matter if you're going to cbet 90% of the time. I'm not saying I can do this ( I'm positive I can't get that lucky to win one ), but I'm just not that impressed...

I think that the times that she does suckout are easily compensated when she flods AA/KK preflop, and when she flps the nuts in hands that she would have probably played. My 2c

Because it's probably FWP on another acct.

Nope. I don't think that at all.

Not really, you ignorant SOB.It was an honest question. I did not know if there was some special training feature on the site where they could block the hole cards for you.Eat s h i t and die.

OK, I know there is a 4.40 rail thread, but I'm not asking for a rail, in fact, stay away. But I only played this thing tonight because of this thread, so here's my update: 3rd with 6 left.I played "sort of blind". I made the decision preflop blind, and then lived with it as if I wasn't going to see the cards on this or any other hand. The only time I would change it would be if the actual cards provided a compelling reason to change it (i.e., was going to fold but hit AA). Since I knew the cards then, I did the best I could for subsequent actions at asking "what would I do if I didn't know the cards, and does knowing them change that decision."So in one hand there was a raise and re-raise in front of me, and I said "only aces or kings". I had QQ. I folded. Normally, by the time the action got to me I would've convinced myself they had lower pairs or weak aces, and called. Did it save me the tournament, or cost a bunch of money? I don't know, but I do know I haven't made a final table in a looooong time.Hmmmm.....EDIT: Finished third, big stack hits straight on river to beat my two pair....

Fluffdog asked someone to put that quote in their sig. He, apparently, obliged.
