southsidepoker 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Obvioulsy I am GC pimpin and obviously this shit happens to me every day all day. If I am not flopping the nut straight playing lhe to get beat by a boat on the turn I am getting my face blistered in tournaments. 2 days ago I played the 5 dollar rebuy 35k guarantee and when it got down to 75 people and got 3 outered for the chip lead and my tournament with AK vs AJ. 2 days before that i made it down to 30 people left in the same tourney and my internet went out. Just kind of rambling here but I also had a session of 1/2 limit the other day when I did not drag one pot in over an hour and I mean nothing no 2 dollar pot picking up blinds or anything, no pots in over an hour. I am just very confused how I am supposed to make money playing poker when shit like this happens to me nonstop , I know people take bad beats but not like this all the time. When I am 80 percent to win a hand I lose it 80 percent of the time. It doesnt matter what I do or what I play, if there is a card that beats me it gets there way more times than it doesnt, I am starting to think that I am just a natural born loser. It has been like this for about 2 months straight and I cannot turn it around. I even took like a month straight off came back fresh ready to play and within 15 minutes of returning I was getting sucked out on like crazy. I can't remember the last time I actually had more in my account than what I last deposited. Do I ever win or am I just destined to get ****ed the rest of my life? I never believed in luck and I always thought that the math would come out right in the long run but I just do not see it ever happening. I mean I know variance is supposed to happen , but what about the other side of variance? Enough is enough , it has taken every iota of self control I have not smash my fist through this laptop. I think I was better off after I broke my last one anyway.PokerStars Game #17531606252: Tournament #88880538, $10+$1 Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2008/05/18 - 23:06:54 (ET)Table '88880538 9' 9-max Seat #1 is the buttonSeat 1: marek1971 (1500 in chips) Seat 2: ansrodrigo (1500 in chips) Seat 3: CactiEd (1500 in chips) Seat 4: zthaflop (1500 in chips) Seat 5: worthits (1500 in chips) Seat 6: GC pimpin (1500 in chips) Seat 7: Hogjowls (1500 in chips) Seat 8: JEB666 (1500 in chips) Seat 9: StEal LoOt (1500 in chips) ansrodrigo: posts small blind 10CactiEd: posts big blind 20*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to GC pimpin [Ah Js]zthaflop: calls 20worthits: folds GC pimpin: raises 40 to 60Hogjowls: calls 60JEB666: folds StEal LoOt: folds marek1971: folds ansrodrigo: folds CactiEd: calls 40zthaflop: calls 40*** FLOP *** [Jh 4s 5h]CactiEd: checks zthaflop: checks GC pimpin: bets 220Hogjowls: raises 220 to 440CactiEd: folds zthaflop: calls 440GC pimpin: raises 1000 to 1440 and is all-inHogjowls: calls 1000 and is all-inzthaflop: calls 1000 and is all-in*** TURN *** [Jh 4s 5h] [6d]*** RIVER *** [Jh 4s 5h 6d] [3c]*** SHOW DOWN ***zthaflop: shows [2h Qh] (a straight, Deuce to Six)GC pimpin: shows [Ah Js] (a pair of Jacks)Hogjowls: shows [Jc 8c] (a pair of Jacks)zthaflop collected 4570 from potJIMEURCHIPSS is connected *** SUMMARY ***Total pot 4570 | Rake 0 Board [Jh 4s 5h 6d 3c]Seat 1: marek1971 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 2: ansrodrigo (small blind) folded before FlopSeat 3: CactiEd (big blind) folded on the FlopSeat 4: zthaflop showed [2h Qh] and won (4570) with a straight, Deuce to SixSeat 5: worthits folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 6: GC pimpin showed [Ah Js] and lost with a pair of JacksSeat 7: Hogjowls showed [Jc 8c] and lost with a pair of JacksSeat 8: JEB666 folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 9: StEal LoOt folded before Flop (didn't bet) Link to post Share on other sites
OhKeePa 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 well... I don't like the play too much...and, after the flop you were only a 50-41-8 favorite...and, first hand of a tournament... you know people are just looking to get it all in Link to post Share on other sites
MrLucy 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I like the move just fine, You can play this other ways but Ithink this is the most profitable just realize you will probably loose more of these than win with 2 people in and both a str8 and flush draw on board but I wouldnt be folding. This is the spot you want to be imo. I have been trying a more loose agressive style but when you play like this people tend to call more often with more draws etc. I have alot better results(not great) in multi table tournament playing alot tighter especially in the early stages when alot of people call off with any draw. But again this is the spot you are looking for if they hit you have to fire up another. I am not calling your all in with either of those draws so alot of the time others may fold to your raise.If you are playing 1/2 nl I hope your bankroll can handle the swings.Could that be the problem?

This will make you bad-beat proof and will lead to great financial success. Link to post Share on other sites
