Good Luck GaF and The Croc


The Quiet Man

Recommended Posts

Re: Good Luck GaF and The Croc It seems that anyone who has ever posted on PL was doomed to failure :sad The 4 PL'rs were amongst the first 5 out (and I led the way by some margin!!!) Made one absolutely crazy move early on against BeardyIan to lose half my stack - he had trip 8's, I had....er.....nothing!!! Why oh why oh why do I do that????????? (and why don't I learn?? It's not the first time I've done that!!!) No problem with the way I lost the rest of my chips - flopped trips and ended up all in against a straight flush draw ..... I was a slight favourite, but the chips were all going in there no matter what .... just down to the poker gods ..... they gave him the straight flush.... Now, at the same time I was playing this, I had BetonBet and SO Paradise league open .... but made no focus on them at all .... finished 3rd on BetonBet and won the SO!!!!! Not the first time either ..... it seems that when I focus on a game and try to win it, I do far worse than when I ignore my opponents and just play ABC TAG poker with my cards..... There's a lesson there for me!!!!!

Re: Good Luck GaF and The Croc Unlucky GaF!:sad i know what you mean though as whenever I have qualified for any games I always end up going out early... by being overlyu aggressive or trying to bluff a big pot! At least there was some compensation in the other games! I'd be pleased to get that far... but then I do have very low expectations! :$

Re: Good Luck GaF and The Croc It was an excellent game, well played to everyone. I felt really confident for once, and it helped when I hit a flush against poor ole croc. I happened to be the one to get Shaundead on his way too. Best hand I saw too, and it wound up a loser.

Re: Good Luck GaF and The Croc Unlucky. I can imagine how gutted you must be feeling. Though I'm not sure I can imagine how gutted the second placed player is feeling! I gather from the Hendon Mob forum that you all have a 1% piece of Shaundead. Anybody know what his real name is?
