$11 NLHE MTT: Classic cooler on 888 Poker

[fundiver199]

Sometimes in poker a situation occur, where you just have to get stacked, and there is nothing you can do to fix it. This is a recent example, where it happened to my opponent in an 11$ 6-max MTT on 888 Poker.

You scared me. I thought you beat 3s quads
Greetings.

Ah yes...a little sarcasm with my morning coffee.

There was clearly nothing he could do...

Here is another classic cooler from a 7$ 9-man SnG on pokerstars. In this one the opponent got a bit lucky, but in his defense there was nothing, he could have done to avoid this confrontation.

Yet another unavoidable spot this time from the 2,2$ "big" on PokerStars.

Hmm that's kinda tasty, as 3 of you were in till the end and he still went all-in. As if he took off his wannabe girlfriend 1st time promising a BMW, but arrived in a Suzuki with 20centimeters smaller as he stated online.

Ha ha yeah. I guess, my slowplay worked, and he was convinced, I was bluffing. But even so it was a weird river line by him. Ace high definitly had showdown value on that board, but its difficult to see, what his large river bet could accomplish other than maybe occationally get someone off a chop.

Is this a cooler though? He bet 1000 chips on the river in a 3 way pot with ace high when two of you could easily have a 7 or a 5, and then he calls to your all in?? No cooler here, just bad moves overall in my opion. By the way, the flop was sick... To make quads on the flop is mental

Of course not. I was being sarcastic

Of course not. I was being sarcastic

After being on the receiving end of 3 suck outs in a row when I was 3 handed on FT of a 1500 - I ended up taking 3rd. I was tired and felt a little steamy - and really wanted to hit the rack, so I purposefully decided to punt off my top 15 chip stack in the other micro event I was playing in - with something like 8 levels remaining (2-3 hours of play still left). I 3bet 5/4 off and called the 4bet. Flopped bottom pair on Q94. Figured this was a good spot to give away chips so I just jammed - opponent happily calls with KKs - and I spike the 2nd pair 5 on the river. Oh brother - looks like I'm sticking around now. lol

Ended up 3rd in that one as well - and a hell of a groggy day the following work day.

5/4 off - cruching KKs since 2019.
