I may be better off spending my time playing the big higher buyin tournament or playing supersatellites and rebuys, which I am good at.

i think you'll do fine, results well within exp var. don't know what kinda hands you were busted on, but i have to agree it's a pushover field, final 30-40 reasonable players. i just found these and love them. played only 4 so far. 2*top 4. busted in 10th with AA in BB - all in vs SB with A4o - flop J44, so it happens all the time. mabbe limit yourself to 2 tables or so?

Perhaps you aren't getting into the red zone early enough?

Edit: running poorly, you szay?

Wasn't that a nice play. Busted out 2 players. Sometimes you have to play the situation rather than your cards.

man you suck





just kidding

Oh ok, when you suck out it's a "nice play" and a good example of "playing the situation." But when someone puts a bad beat on you they're the kind of donkey who makes you want to only play the $215s because people there will respect those minraises.

I didn't miniraise. I raised 3xBB. I had a big stack and it was folded to me in CO. BB was fairly short stacked, but was not pot committed to call. There were 23 players left and 18 seats. I thought the short stacks were scared of busting out on the bubble. They probably needed hands like AKo and KQo to call.

A lot of times I fold good hands and raise with junk. What's wrong with that?

Were you one of the short stacks I busted out? Sorry about the bad beat.

[Melchiades]

It was fine. You tried to steal, and got good odds to call the reraise knowing you most likely had two live cards. Still sucked out with trash vs two decent hands though.

How dare you insult my hand. I don't play trash. I had a 30% chance to win 3-way. At least I played live cards, rather than the easily dominated KQo.

Watch how I play. Play with a little more imagination. You tried to fold into the money and only played when you had a big hand against a loose late position raiser. Then you get mad when you bust out. Play more aggressively and you won't wind up short stacked like that.
