What makes You feel Great while Playing ?

[GENA44489]

I like the game when players fly out who infuriate me with their aggressive and stupid game.Especially in front of the prize area.

When the deck helps

Good morning everyone.
Regarding the game, I feel good when the deck helps and good hands start to arrive.
I remember the first time I played $ 3.30 Mtt, at pokerstars, there was only one strong hand, in my 1st hand, I in BB with AA and villain with KK, in Small, I doubled up, Three of a kind several times, I arrived at the final table, that day I felt really good.

Feeling good

I almost always have a great time playing cards so... Feeling good and playing cards go together in my believe if you're having a good time and having fun you're usually do pretty well. if you're having a bad time negative negative negative odds are you won't do too well. keep having fun high spirits good luck

Obviously winning big flips late in a tourney is up there

I also really enjoy making a great call when someone has triple barrelled or facing a river bet.

Getting there is another great feeling for huge pots if you've shoved your nut flush draw and get there that's a great feeling

Making big bluffs is also enjoyable

calling an all in and find out it was a bluff . that is an awesome feeling especially at the final table

I've started to really enjoy being in a Twitch stream while I play. It gives you more of a social aspect that is sometimes lost online. Try to play the same tournaments or just watch real time and improve your own game - talk strategy. It's a great way to get better and meet new people that have similar interests.

You mean other than finishing well I assume, while I try not to bluff a lot since I strictly play mtt at micro level I really enjoy pushing aggressive players off with nothing or really beating overly aggressive players period. I also enjoy a good conversation at the table while most OLP players are the silent type it does happen on occasion. This is one of the several reasons I play more at chico sites than any other its the only u.s facing site where this is possible.

I also - usually enjoy - the chat conversations on BETOnline and Sports Bet. It'd be nice if the other clients had chat features like they do.

Friendly suggestion - consider increasing bluffing frequency, even though you are playing at the micro level. Although the common suggestion is not to - if bluffing is not included in a players arsenal it is difficult to make a deep run consistently.
Over the past several months I've been thinking a lot more broadly about certain spots, what would I do here if I had 2 pair, can this player call down here with only top pair with so many draws coming in on the river, could I overbet here to make it look bluffy when it isn't. Bluffing has to be included in a players game - or value is being lost on a consistent basis.

I like the game but sometimes I get crazy when I lose a strong hand against junk cards. Especially if this is nearing the end of the race and that's how I fall out.

I know the feeling all too well. Best to keep a level head. Just yesterday I was just outside of the top 10 in chips, nearing the money bubble. I opened in EP with A/Q suited.
only caller is BB who is the chip leader at the table.
Flop T7Q rainbow. I value bet 1/3 pot - planning to get 3 streets here.
Big stack shoves ?? OK - whatever - I make the call.
Big stack turns over 7/4 and the river brings in another 4, because ?? OK - you got lucky - good luck making that mistake against me again. I just shrugged and closed down the table. Dude was wreckless and got lucky - that is all - I made no mistakes in that hand - so there is no reason to get upset by making the correct decisions.

i really only get pleasure from going deep in tournaments....last 50 maybe

I've been feeling more and more lately like FT is the only pleasure I get - when considering earning money. It is pretty demoralizing to spend 3+ hours playing an event - only to see the bankroll increase the buyin amount x2. Yeah - it's not a negative sum, but I guess my expected return on playing well has increased lately. Probably misguided, but lately - I've been playing strong poker, and just missing FT.

Here are things I think make a great game. A good table of people, some friendly chat(although not too much to distract from paying attention).

Freezeouts. Keeps people playing like they have some sense and not jackassery just because they can buy back in mulitple times. There aren't enough freezeouts though.

Things that make a game suck: someone at the table with an ego. Although this can work to your advantage, I still can't stand them.

People sucking you out because they are gambling for the rebuy/re-entry.

Rude dealers. There is one in particular when I play at Hollywood casino in St. Louis. Coming real close to calling the floor manager on him.

And kind of redundant, but I think rebuys/re-entry ruins the game. But can count myself as fortunate that I never had to rebuy or re-enter(at least live anyway).

More things I enjoy, just simply the game in general, watching other players. Even if I don't get an opportunity to use information I gain from watching, its still interesting.

I also enjoy freezeout event. I've found though - the largest field of players - that provide big chip donations play exclusively in rebuy events. The freezeout events go against their "tendencies".

Interesting mention about rude dealers. Can you expand on this? What types of actions are rude from dealers? I've never played live - so this is interesting to me.


Yes I agree watching other players and learning how they play is very interesting. I was unconvinced timing tells, and player tendencies could be learned by observing online play. Now with a tiny bit of experience under my belt, this is one of the key elements of my strategy.

There are a few moments in a tournament, making me feel good.
Making a good read and win a difficult hand.
To reach the "hand for hand" process and to survive it of course.
Thereafter reaching pay jumps, final table and finally winning a tournament.

But most improtant for me is not to bust because of foolish bluffs or moves. I'm feeling good after knowing that i wouldn't act different in this situation.

I know the feeling of a foolish bluff as well. Just yesterday the flush and the straight came in on the river. I was only holding middle pair with an OK kicker, so when the lead player bet out 1/2 pot - I jammed knowing he should not call in this spot with only top pair.
He called with top two pair, so yeah bluff gone bad.

I feel good when I win a hand, arrived at a final table when I bluff and he passes

If I can play poker I already feel good.
D when a bubble bursts in a tournament and still playing it feels really good.
Also, I'm very happy if I can to trap an aggressive player.

 

[mycannon223]

I love beating heavy hands like AA or KK with a lesser hand. It happens quite often on ACR. Also love being down to 20 chips and working your way back to the final table.

I'm about to make my first deposit to either Betonline or Sportsbetting.... or maybe both?? (are there advantages to depositing on both?... one this month and the other the next? ie. new depositor freerolls?? I've never played there so I know very little about it (just looking at the tourney lobby right now).
I still chat a bit at the tables... even if I've got 10 of them running. It's part of why I like the forum-type or league games (I used to be a private game whore many years ago). And I miss the way the chat box was back in the days when Fulltilt was running. The chat box is actually how I initially met Gavin Smith (rip),... we were both chatting as observers while Greg Mueller was playing ( I think during an FTOPS). I used to think it was great how you could be sitting in your living room and be chatting with (& playing against) people from all over the world. How cool was that!?!?

online poker has changed a bunch... now I find myself mostly chatting to my dogs while playing online lol

 

[igroksash]

I feel great during the game, when my bankroll exceeds the bankroll of opponents by about 10 times, nobody presses their bank especially on bubble.

Some great points!! Some things I will be keeping in mind for sure.

 

[sergik1992]

I feel great, when I play my A-game with minimum quantity of mistackes!

 

[Djon25]

A big stack, prizes and even when no one bothers me to play.

 

[ga25x]

I feel really great when i catch a big bluff. That feeling, when u call all in on the river with A high and your villain shows missed draw...

 

[Superhansi]

When I had four aces in a tournament and 2 opponent's had house, all three all-in... Hurray!! 👍🙂

 

[PuletJelek]

when 3+ way all in and i won the big pot with only one pair 22....

 

[nghoffman]

I feel best when I'm in a big tourney and I hit the 1M in chips mark.

 

[Dimmarik411]

The stupidity of the opponents I think it's funny

 

[qbvbsite]

Acs rolled up with Kings

 

[zlajazlaja2]

when Im on the flop worse than other players, but beat them to the river and take the pot

 

[deeznutzz]

When I have the nut and my opponent is still betting aggressively into me
