Amusing chat at Party SNG

[NoRiverRats]

So I am showing a buddy online poker in hope of getting some referral $$ - showing him the regular games and SNGs. He asks if we can play and I say sure, so we jump on a $10 SNG. On the second level I get KK in early position, I raise and get five callers which doesn't make me too happy.

Flop is 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

One bet to me, I raise, all call. turn is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Checked to me, I bet four callers. I am not too happy at this stage but not too upset either. River is Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] another EP checks, I bet, call and EP calls. Other EP show 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Chat goes like this;

me - nice catch
EP - thanks
me - I only had KK.
EP - thought you had more the way you were raising


EP busts out in 9th place. I get no cards and bust out in fifth.

Run!!! you are about to get flamed and I don't blame any one for flaming you.

You show no clas at all, no understanding of poker, you misplayed the hand, and to top it all off your opponent didn't misplay his hand that badly.

Flame away, I freely admit $10 SNGs are not my thing...If anyone knows how (or cares) to master them their book will make them mega $$$....

WTF YOU LOST WITH KINGS!!! OMG WHAT A BAD BEAT!!! LOL BUT HE STILL WENT OUT NINTH. JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU CAN STILL LOSE EVEN WHEN YOU GET LUCKY. TOO BAD YOU WENT OUT FIFTH. IM SURE YOU'LL DO BETTER NEXT TIME. IF YOU PLAY AT A HIGHER BUY IN PEOPLE WILL RESPECT YOUR RAISES AND YOU'LL PROBABLY DO BETTER.

this will not end well for you

Picture me waving a white flag, I surrender...all I was trying to point out is that I was showing my buddy (who is thinking of setting up an online account) the logistics of playing on Party. The funny point I was trying to make is that he got a perfect taste of what SNGs at that level are like - I wasn't complaining or whining about a bad beat, I think I used the word amusing if I am not mistaken, in the heading even...I hearby apologize tone is not easily communicable in email and that some have trouble "getting it". I hope the Gods and gremlins who inhabit two plus two will forgive me and the fools that go before and after me...

It's not that you posted a bad beat, its what you said to the player afterwards.

DON'T TAP THE GLASS

[Smoothcall]

You wrote a bad beat trying to disguise it by making it sound like there was another reason to write it. Putting up window dressing about you're buddy watching. The point was to tell us how you got sucked out on. And that you were glad he got knocked out before you. There was no other point.
