^Newbie^ Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 At the beginning of the tourney , was raising rags and stuffs and got caught out a few times . Went down to 1000 chips and thought i was out . Went all in with rags and doubled up to 4k . Got caught stealing again and went down to 2k + . Forgotten what happened after that but got up to 8 k chips after some hands . Think i knocked some pl players out too , not sure whom but i think there's one or 2 . After i knock kevshat out of the table with the hand history in the calender thread , something really funny happened . Its so rigged that i was scared ! All the table players are afraid . All are thinking of me stealing , but i had the hands ! I had hands like QQ( AT least 10 times ) AQ ( At least 20 times ) . Sometimes i have these hands consecutively . Even when i had hands like J4 , A2 . Someone actually raised before the flop . I thought about calling but didn't . The Flop came J4 on one time when 2 parties had KK , AA . Would have busted out the 2 of them for a major chip lead . And A2 also came on the flop on one occasion . All in all , off the last 60 hands i played . At least 50 were monsters to begin with , i'm really freaking out !:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall To be honest , i have never been so lucky in my whole life at poker . What is happening ?

^Newbie^ Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Summary in the Virgin Freeroll thanks for the support on the final table . To be honest , i tried stealing 2 times at the final table . first one was good . the 2nd one was caught . I'll post the hand history here . Did i play that poorly ?

SullDaBull Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Summary in the Virgin Freeroll not too sure if i'd have played that hand to begin with imho. You were correct in what you say in that you would have thrown away a large chunk of your stack but at least you would have still been in the tourney. Although looking at the blinds not for long. In summary perhaps the wrong hand to start raising on anyway especially pre-flop? Thats my 2cents anyway...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie-p Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Summary in the Virgin Freeroll for me im not playing pre flop. yes once he re raises its a call. thing with stealing blinds is position etc. with the blinds so high any pair and pictures is going all in ...u have 4 to get through..u want the blinds go all in here ... u dont want to be playing for hours and making the final table then chucking away ur chance to win with j/7os.

^Newbie^ Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Summary in the Virgin Freeroll IMO , i see the scenario in that the blinds are real huge now . I gotta make a steal somehow or rather to keep myself afloat . In fact , J7o was one of my best hands at the final table other than the 2s . I keep getting 210 o on my final table just now . (Kind of rigged back against me :loon ) i was thinking in my mind that if i fold , i'll have 50 k left . with blinds of 7500/15000 to go , the blinds put on offer would be stolen by someone at least . So that leaves me with about 30k and is easily callable by the bigger stacks . If i make that big break , to attempt further steals would be easier as people would be more way of calling my raises . Thats what i feel at the moment . for me im not playing pre flop. yes once he re raises its a call. thing with stealing blinds is position etc. with the blinds so high any pair and pictures is going all in ...u have 4 to get through..u want the blinds go all in here ... u dont want to be playing for hours and making the final table then chucking away ur chance to win with j/7os.

morlspin Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Summary in the Virgin Freeroll as said in the other thread, if you had folded after the re-raise, you would have had 63k still....enough to re-build and go on to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^Newbie^ Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Summary in the Virgin Freeroll Right ! :ok I need to fold that . enough said . I'll remember that for future tourneys . I really Learnt A Lot of my weaknesses Today ! as said in the other thread, if you had folded after the re-raise, you would have had 63k still....enough to re-build and go on to win.

But once he'd bet, he was getting HUGE pot odds to call the reraise. If his opponent had shown him he had pocket aces, it would still be right to call. About the only hand opponent could show that would make me sorry I'd called would be pocket jacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glceud Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: Summary in the Virgin Freeroll I would never have raised. In fact with your chip stack I reckon it was a shocking play.

You have to risk chips to win chips ... or even not to lose chips when the blinds are this high. If he folds now he'll be short-stacked. If he calls then he has about a two in three chance of being very short-stacked, and about a one in three chance of being chip leader (against his opponent's actual hand). He's tried to steal, rightly or wrongly, and he's now left with a short-stack. It's pretty likely he's not going to get a better chance than this to build a decent stack. IMO, folding here would just be blind optimism that a better opportunity would come up in the next few hands. It probably won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to chance/luck/probablility we find it hard to comprehend as people - so we try to rationalise it, talking about good streaks/bad streaks etc. You were just at the fortunate end of the scale a lot tonight.. you would've come away thinking similarly if you'd lost to a series of impossible beats..
