I'm having such trouble lately gettig people ( morons !!! ) to fold their hands preflop.
2 very recent examples:
1- 4 limpers, im in the SB with QQ, blinds 50/100. I raise to 550, get 2 callers ( midposition both ), flop comes 337. Pot is around 1900. First one checks, the second one bets 1600, i have 2100 left. He has been playing very loose and will make big bets like this with top pair. I go all-in, he shows 34....
2- Agaian, i got QQ, on the BB, blinds 50/100, mid position raises to 300, button calls, both play a bit loose, so i raise to 1200, first one folds, second one calls instantly, flop comes 725, he bets, i raise all in he calls....A7, then hits his A.
How can i make this morons fold ??? ( normally i would want them calling but lately my luck has been so horrible.. )
And we could argue that im just thinking about the hands i lost and not the ones i've won..well, when you dont play thath often, and most of the loses come from similar scenarios, it's easier to remeber.
I know in the long run my hands will prevail, its just that im in such a horrible streak right now and when i only play 3-4 tourneys a week and 2 out of 3 im losing this way. If It was happening like 1 in 10 i wouldnt mind, but 2 out of 3...
I've found that no matter how much i raise, there's always the moron willing to call or go all in with a semi decent hand, which is fine, but not when variance is not my side....
