frustration - LC/NC
 

I have just finished playing 6 $11 sngs at Party (4 tabling, adding new ones if I bust early). Number of times ITM = 0. In fact, my average finish in those was 7th. I play very tight the first few levels, then open up and raise more often etc... It seems like whenever I push A9 I get called by AT, push KQ called by AK, push 88 called by TT. argfsldkjsfdl.

I assume its just running bad, but I still feel I am missing something, I am going to dig up some questionable hands now.

Thanks,
Mike

It happens. I'm dealing with the same thing right now. I also just re-read HOH II and for some reason that book screws up my game.

Re: frustration - LC/NC
 

you played 6 tourneys and finished OOTM on all 6?

Re: frustration - LC/NC
 

wait until your pushes with AA get no caller, but your pushes with A6 are called by K6 and you lose to a K high flop. (n times a row, for n as big as you like [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) )
I just finished a streak of 53 Sngs with no 1st and -30 buyins. and i'm sure thats nothing at all...

That's why I can't stand playing $11s at Party, where you start with 800 chips. It's a couple of levels of folding and then shoving all-in with the first decent hand you see in level 3. Bah! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: frustration - LC/NC
 

yeah, is this normal for party sngs or am I just sucking hard?

FWIW, when I played Stars turbos I would go 2 or 3 at most out of the money. I decided to switch to Party to see what everyone was talking about. In the last 2 days, I have played 31 (yes, small sample) sngs for a 3% roi and 30% itm.

Thanks,
Mike

This session didnt have any late game decisions becaues didnt get to that point. bah.

sixhigh, I dont mind that my pushes with good hands get no calls nor do I mind that much if A6 is called by K6 and loses. I mind very much when my 99 gets called by TT. :P

Thanks,
Mike

Fold. Fold. Quit bitching about 6 games ootm.

Re: frustration - LC/NC
 

Normal, this is how it works. Heaters and coolers. You'll have a stretch (could be very long) where everybody sucks out on you, and flops always come Qd 8d 3d when you have AsKs, or alternately the flop comes Ad Kd Qd when you have 88. Then you'll have a stretch (could be very short) where you're walking on water, every flop hits you with two pair or better, and you think your cooler than Rick James. It all evens out, and no, you are not cooler than Rick James.
