Default Re: happens to everyone

Hey guys I dont want to sound like I am whining over one little bad beat. It really isnt about that its just been constant over the past two weeks. In ring games mostly not so much in tourneys. So please dont take it as I got my aces cracked and I am crying this was just the icing on the cake. Btw thanks for posting that hand. Helps out.

I opened this post thinking it'd be someone complaining about people who keep posting bad beat stories. (No, seriously.)

Oh well. Maybe next time.

I was knocked out in tourneys a few times in a row as a 90+% favorite pre or on the flop. But you know what? I'd do it all over again exactly the same way. I'll take those odds every time with the understanding that I'll lose part of the time. It happens.

Three things:

1) Raise more preflop
2) Raise more preflop
3) Raise more preflop

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't agree with this. Two days ago I was playing a $30 sng on Pokerstars. Very first hand with 10/20 blinds I had AA in late position. MP player limps for 20 and I made it 60. The SB raised to 180, MP player called, I raised to 360, SB called and MP player called.

The flop came KJ3 rainbow. SB checked, MP player bets all-in for 1140, I called and the SB called. SB had AK, MP player had QT. QT hit the 9 on the turn and I'm history on the first hand.

I then start second guessing myself that a) my first raise to 60 was too small and b) my second raise to 360 was too small that I in fact should have gone all-in. Then after thinking about it for a few minutes, i said bullshiit, i played it perfect. I got exactly what I wanted, action for my aces, a chance to win a big pot and all the money in the middle with best hand.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that I don't agree with raising so much with your premium hands that you get no action. But of course, you're going to get sucked out on occasionally and sometimes when you're running bad the occasionally's are all bunched together.
