Hi, I'm new in here, but have been doing some online poker for a few years.
The bid question. How is it possible to master that, sometimes insane, aggresion level that you can see online, specially on PS. And how is it, that thoes crazy players who is both pushing and calling allin's with QJo and even worst combinations, keep running so deep? What is there that they have seen in here that I have missed? I guess Q-Jo is not the worst combination tho. We have all seen out Aces beat'n by both 27o and 93o. And I guess it's seems to be all about them coin flips, and always in them important situasions. And why are everybody with 15bb stack, when ITM, in "Hot's" at PS allin allin allin? Avrage stack is only 20bb. Not much play, to much gambling.
Friday I did run to final table in Hot$5.5 at PS, finding my self with a low stack, 7 players left. Making a bad dessision, playing A8s from UTG, up against one player, and yes, the chip leader it was. Facing his A-Jo. And as you can guess, table gave both J and A. So that was it for me. And Saturday I did get final table at regular MTT $7.5 deep stack. Finding myself to be chipleader with 5 players left. Getting delt KK and raising from UTG+, only to see SB, who was short, shoving his A-Jo. Table gave him a flush with J-high. This turned everything around, and I did end up in pos 4 I think it was. Only up for grab 1.pos was $650. Not to much, but looking at my stats for 2018 (https://pokerprolabs.com/acesandkings392/pokerstars ) I sure take whatever I can get just to get a bit closer to breaking even.
And yesterday, Sunday, I did play the $22 mini sunday million. I think my ending pos was 300-something. And it is in this tourney I find myself on the way to become depressed. I cannot say I had to do to much to get in, and maintain my position in the game, getting dealt Aces and Kings all over the place, and from time to time AK also. I think my stats for that game was around 11/5 of somewhere around 300 hands when busting. But it's again this one hand which turned it all for me. Holding avrage stack times two, in pos 50-something of 500 players left maybe, I made a bet with K-Js from early mid pos. Only 2.5bb, getting 4 players with me. The table turns xJx, one diamond. My suit was heart. I make a new, half pot bet I guess, to players left, one did stay. X-diamond on the turn. Again I make a small bid, and the legend calls. Rivering a 3th daimond. I smallbet him with my top pair and a pretty good kicker. He smallraise me back, I guess only somewhere 2-3x my bet. I start to think about it, a flush? There? Why follow my bet from flop where it was only one daimond? At this stage? Only 500 players left. With a avrage of 30-40bb stack. I can see that fhising in early stage. But here? This deep? I called only to see the Q-J-daimond. And it is in this situasion I belive to find meself not been able to see what appears that someone else see. I sure can see Q-Js play, like this in early stage with 150bb deep stack. But at this point he was playing around 30bb stack.
Sure, we can say he got lucky there. It's also correct I guess, unless he know what card that is coming up, or if he truly did belive his Q-J was gonna hold. And I guess most of the times he is not gonna win that hand. And also my dessision playing K-Js in that position I was in, in the game in total, was a big mistake. Lesson learned. After this I got 6's in my hand, in BB, playing a small raise from position. Him with A2o, and me with 66, only to find three aces on the table. Few hands later, 66 again, super short, shoving and getting called by A-Qo and the river ended my history in $22 Mini Sunday Million this weekend.
I think I just had to let my story out. I find it to be a huge mentale challenge to keep getting into this situasion. Over and over again. I can sure admidt, both Friday's final table, and yesterdays K-Js in $22 mini million was bad dessisions. Thou, yesterday I was ahead and that shorter stack just keept fishing and grab all the chips. I just never see myself in those lucky situasions. You just feel like the luck always hit everyone else. All those how is doing this crazy things in bad positions, getting lucky just to do a super deep run. I held A-9 in BB yesterday, in mini sunday million. Calling a 2.5bb bet from UTG+. Floppin' 5-A-5. Checked to UTG+, who is betting small and I did call. Turning another aces. Checked back to him. Again he make a small bid. I raise him. Just to find him calling. And the river gives a 7. So the table is 5-A-5-A-T. Sins I hoped him not playing 5's or A-T, I shoved my hand. And after a while, he called me, K-Qo. Sure, why not?...good for me, right? Yes. Thou, playing like that, I dont know, thou I guess PS loves it. The player ended up in top30 in $22 sunday million. And things like that make me think? How? This player just gave me 50% of his stack with king high. How can he get that deep? It's just sick.
And them king's on Saturdays final table. That is just a disaster of distress for my brain. It is PS's amazing way to do you from behind. You feel your are struggling so bad to keep your position, fighting for you chips. Only to see shitty hands beating the crap out of you. And when it just keep happening in important positions....Frustration, and even more of it. :turtle:
