Herr Mensch 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ever gone on tilt before the first hand was dealt?I'm a microlimit guy. I just don't have any money. My poker bankroll is less than fifty bucks. I'm 33 years old, married 11 years, 4 kids, full time college student with a full time job. I was wanting to play a $1 + $ .10 SnG on UB. So I log on, switch to SnG, and scroll down to the bottom of the "waiting" area where the $1 SnGs live. I fail to notice that there are no $1 SnGs available at the moment, nor any $5 SnGs. I click on the last tournament on the list and I'm seated at a $10 SnG. Not a big deal for most of you I'm sure, but this represents a quarter of my bankroll.I'm so upset with myself I'm steaming before the first hand was dealt. I look at pocket queens, three undercards on the flop, I stay in. another undercard on the turn, I stay in, and a Queen on the river. I 'm steaming, remember, not really paying attention to the fact that there's a four card straight to the queen on the board. I raise myself all in and get taken down by a King. First Hand. Out. That giant flushing sound you're hearing is my poker winnings for the last week of $.01 - $.02 disappearing.Was sitting back in my chair and crying over flushing a fourth of my bankroll on a misclick an overreaction?

NormanHaupt 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 like when you're playing a normal NL .01/.02 game and 5 guys sit around the table, and start going all in on every single hand.Yeah, hate it when that happens too.*SIDE NOTE EDIT* not being sarcastic or mean, lol I sympathize, I'm making a joke about what happened last night when we raided NL room and sent them all on tilt by giving away money.

Herr Mensch 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Well, I was "staying in" with the queens because I was nervous and scared. I wasn't where I wanted to be,scared money i guess you could call it, and with 3 or 4 other people in it was all too easy to imagine someone with two pair. The 4 card straight was 9-T-J and the Q that hit on the river. The Q that gave me the set blinded me to the straight. All I saw was a bunch of undercards, and I wasn't worried about 2 pair anymore. That's when I went all-in.Yeah, I played it poorly. That's what happens when the old testicles are crawling around behind the navel. Link to post Share on other sites
