omg I'm so ****ing tilted right now just played a bunch of sngs to clear it I swear I've lost every single ****ing 50-50, 80-20, 60-40, 75-35, no matter what if I'm ****ing ahead I always lose. If they have suited cards flop always gives them flush if they have random shit like 59 against my A9 either 5 hits or they pull some random straight out of their ass. Jesus ****ing Christ, I'm glad there are no ev graphs for tourneys because I would just want to kill someone @$#%@#%@#%@#%@#%@#%@#%@#%#@@@%@#% ah well -517 all in $20 and $30 tourneys, such ****ing bullshit.

 

[switch0723]

sigh why does the 33/25 monster stack have a hand the 1 time i 3 bet shove.

all on the rebuy, 1 TIME

 

[switch0723]

nvm, i wanted my M of 4 stack to run into 9's when i shove Ax from the small blind 4 places from the money, FML

 

[switch0723]

if anyone is planning on playing any scoop events, get in touch with me please, since i have 27.50 in $W to get rid of since im now tilted off my face to ever play tournies again, for at least another 2 months

 

[S93]

switch i was gonna play some of the low events and i would be happy to buy the W$ from you.
pm me if your intrested.

 

[switch0723]

why do i continue to play tournies when i always run like god at the start of them, then go card dead since i used all of my luck at the start, then use my unique skills at sucking at tournies to run into the nuts all the time

 

[switch0723]

anyone know if jerry yang coaches?

 

[zachvac]

Why do I ever play sngs? I play like half hour of cash and win what I lost and a bit more. **** sngs imo.

The button calling that all in at the end is really kind of ridiculous! Everyone knows this is a standard fold here as we all know the MP has QJo.

 

[SeanyJ]

I was bored so I decided to try out some Omaha, never played it in my life. I have a small idea of what is a good hand to stack off with and such but I think I'm a pretty big fish. I'm up like $15 at a 25PL table though, but I think I just run hot.

Scratch that, back to even. Note to self, people always have a flush.

 

[switch0723]

I don't know whats worse, the fact that there is going to be an american remake of death note, which is just a dreadful idea. The fact that fking Zac Efron or whatever his name is, is rumoured to be playing Light, just because he has the same kinda hair as the guy who played Light in the Japanese version. Light is just an awsome character who is the bad guy in the whole thing, but the viewer is on his side and wants him to 'win', and that just won't happen with f Zac since everyone hates him. Or the fact that whoever is cast to play L will completely butcher the character as it is physically impossible to play that character as good as the japanese guy, since the character is really really really weird but really cool at the same time.

Tilted me more than my failed tourny day hearing that news, stupid yanks imo

 

[Tygran]

ugh I dunno what's wrong with me tonight...

I can't stay focused.

Going to have to quit playing I think, I'm just way off my game tonight

/tired i think

 

[Tygran]

Well..i threw some water on my face and stayed at the tables long enough to stack the two fish I'd been at the tables for in the first place. Woohoo.


On another note... just watched a fun hand:

UTG: opens JJ
MP2: flats 22
BTN: 3bets KK
UTG: calls
MP2: calls


Flop: Kd Js 2h


Oh yes..there were fireworks

/too lazy to calculate the odds of that one right now...

[Chris_TC]

After Jagsti mentioned how relaxing it is to play the micros, I played some 1c/2c yesterday. I played 92/80 and lost $21 in like 100 hands.
And I didn't find it relaxing at all. The fact that people called my triple barrels with bottom pair right after I had sat down (i.e. with no way of knowing how much of a maniac I am) just tilted me out of my mind.

And I'm not even kidding. The money involved really shouldn't matter to me, but it made so angry how you cannot make them fold anything. So I started making my opening raise sizes anywhere between 20c and 40c. I got action pretty much every time. I was so longing to flop second pair so I could valuetown them to death, but I never flopped anything. Then, when I finally had AA, of course I got called for 30c preflop by one player. But then he folded to my c-bet! Like wtf. C-bet success up until that point had been 18%. I mean wtf.

Then I shoved Q5s for $5 (250 big blinds) over someone's preflop raise. He called me with A7o and I sucked out. Yay! This gave me new confidence. Then this happened:
I open-raised QTo to $0.40 (20 big blinds) and got called by both blinds. The flop came:
2

5

T

SB checks, BB bets $0.20 into $1.20. I had top pair good kicker, i.e. the nuts, so I raised to $1. Now the SB called and the BB shoved for $3.32. I had not been very aggro postflop (obviously, cause they called everything and I never had anything), so I figured my hand can't be good. I folded, and the SB insta-called it off.
SB showed 5h Ah (a pair of Fives) and won $7.66 ($4.33 net)
BB showed 2h Ks (a pair of Twos) and lost (-$3.33 net)

So yeah. Second pair and third pair, but excellent kickers. After this I concluded that beating these stakes for 90ptBB must be a piece of cake if you play 15/10 and open-raise to 20 big blinds every time. Of course, I wanted to play loose as hell, so I gave up.
