Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

AKs vs a medium stacks' KK hurt a bit.. otherwise i'd be hugeeeeeee.

What'd you have when that guy came over-the-top of your open raise?

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

AQc

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

That hand sucked.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

yep.


Not having the balls to continuation bet is what cost me.

I gave the guy that crippled me 150k that i would have had.

If i c-bet, i'm only down to like 250-300k now.

As you can probably guess..


I'm not in the best of moods right now.

sorry man. you probably shoulda Cbet on that one, but you can't think you had 200k more or whatever b/c that's REALLY results oriented thinking. sure you probably missed a little EV on that hand, but it probably wasn't THAT big a deal.

In actuality you had a VERY xxxxx run of luck, and thats it. you had a huge stack, played quite well (from what i saw) but the cards were really just not coming your way at the right time. and obviously you have no control over that.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

it was results oriented, but it was bad not to C-bet there, and it definitely cost me the tournament. Shame it took going from 150k chipleader w/ 10 to go, to out 10th, to teach me a lesson.

Easiest way to learn man. That mistake's probably +EV in the end.

Nice score. Gl next time.

yeah, it is pretty hard to not be somewhat results oriented in those spots with all the snowball effects and stuff. thats really all i get a little pissed about anymore. when i play. i do'nt remember the last time i got too worked up over a bad beat, but i'm a bit harder on myself when i rush a play, or just don't think it through well enough.


I used to be a lot worse, but i've been better about it lately, and am a little easier on myself when i screw up.I don't know if you've read barry G's book, but that helped me a TON with semitilt after making poor plays. Just seeing that he makes mistakes almost every tourney he plays in is pretty comforting. i mean of course i want to be THE BEST, but realistically i know that i have about .0000001% chance of being as good as barry G in my life, and so i know i'm going to make MANY, MANY mistakes everytime i sit down.

for me, i'm really numbers oriented, so after i make what i think was a mistake i go over the numbers thoroughly and so if it was in fact a mistake i can tell, and get an idea for JUST how big a mistake it was. and from that i feel i learn a ton b/c if i know HOW much EV i gave up by making the wrong play. then if i'm in a similar spot i have a good idea for how much the numbers would have to be tweaked for the correct play to change.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

and as a positive, you probably moved in front of me on the TLB with that tourney. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

though i'm in the $20 + 2 with 69 out of 1010 left. i'm below avg, but if i get lucky it could be a nice one.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

oh snap, didnt even see you passed me.


guess i'll have to pick it up.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

yep, i'm serious with this thing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i've started playin the little ones like you, and i've learned to play decent at PLO and Omaha 8/b. and i've been playin some LHE too... i alwyas thought LHE tourneys were kinda stupid, but since i've been playing more lately they're kinda fun. you don't have quite the same edge, but a lotta pelple SUCK at LHE

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

d'oh, just got knocked out 44 of 1010 in the 20 + 2. you're probably still ahead.

doin pretty well in the party 150 + 12 though with 31 of 406 left.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

good job, i'm done with mtt's for the night.. gonna work on my SnG's for a bit and then pass out.

Lemme know how the 150 goes i'll come watch if it gets close to FT.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

yeah. the party is the only 1 i still got goin. my gf is already a bit upset that i've been playing so long today. i thought i was going to be done by now, but i had to go and get lucky in the last few ones i played.

what SnG's you play? stars or party?

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

party.. up unntil yesterday i occasionaly played 55's.. but i decided that i want to get better at them, so i took 300 to make a SnG bankroll and i'm going to work my way up from the 10's. (-1 profit yesterday w00t)

haha. yeah about 3 weeks ago i was dabling in them a bit. i started right out in the 100's and did okay, but they were just no fun at all for me. so i've been tryin to learn NLHE ring games in the past few weeks and i enjoy that much more... although now that i'm tryin to play tons of tourneys at stars i've barely played any cash games at all lately.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

i'm 3rd or 4th now with 19 left.

yeah. this is probably true. i felt like i had a decent edge in them, and i didn't even know all that much about STTs.

I was doing good at the 50's.. the idea was that i just didnt want to take a big chunk out of my MTT roll (because i've been taking big enough chunks out through Double F-ing Shootouts ) so i was just gonna take out 300, and work my way up.. keeping 100% of my profits in that roll i could be up to the 50's pretty quick, after that i dunno how quick i'd move up but if i get in 15-30 a night shouldn't be bad.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

just got to FT. I'm in 6th place with 9 left.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

the Party 150? what's your name?

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

I'm blind or retarded - either way - which was this - LHE or NLHE ?

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

This was yesterday, and it was NL.

Re: Pokerstars 1 Rebuy 1 Add
 

Aha - didn't look at the date. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
