Rising Star
Silver Level
Sorry for the novel, thanks in advance for reading.
Well, here lately I seem to be running into quite a few of these lately. I played the PPA freeroll earlier today on pokerstars, and there was one guy at my table that just would not let up on trying to put me all in on any hand I was playing. He probably had about 4-1 on my chips. It eventually caused me to blind out because I rarely had anything better than top pair after the flop.
He was sitting directly to my right. I would raise pre-flop, standard 3x the big blind so as to not give away the strength of my hand. If I made any kind of a continuation bet on the flop, he would raise me enough to put me all in if I were to call his raise. I feel like I had tried to set up my image as tight-aggressive as I could, and I had not been called down bluffing, but I did tend to fold if someone bet after the flop, if it went completely the wrong direction and I would only be drawing to a pair.
These types of players seem to be the bane of my existence right now, and I really do not know what to do when I encounter them because monsters seem to be few and far between for me.
As to my experience level, I have not been playing for very long, but for what its worth, on pokerstars, I have gotten 3rd out of 1096 in a freeroll, 481 out of 19044 in a freeroll, 1st in a 10cent 360, and placed in the money maybe a dozen or so more times in the same 10 cent 360 person tournament. I've placed top 3 in a 7-15 person live game I play every week 4 out of 8 times. My poker career started around 2 months ago. I know its a very small sample size, but I do see it as just a little more than luck at this point. All NL. I also read everything I can get my hands on as far as poker is concerned.
