4 final tables in 4 days and no fukking win

**ProfaneReality** · 02-11-11, 12:07 PM

they increased the starting stack by 500 and delayed the blinds by 1 minute last saturday... it had little or no effect.. when the final table started, the chip leader had less than 10 big blinds.

PR (and other much better than average players), if you don't mind me asking as I believe you are one of the better poker players here- how do you do in real cash tourney's and how have you improved your game in the past? I'm no good at it so I just stick to the freerolls. TIA

The blind structure is the same for Saturday tourny but you do start out with 2500 chips instead of 2000.Its not much but its something

I used to play Sit n Goes ALOT(20-50 a day) and at first i wasnt too good but as i went on, i got my strategy up. on pokerstars, over like 300 games, my ROI in sit n goes was 27%(ridiculousssssss)

They should either increase blind levels by 50% or make starting stack 3-4k.

It's pretty simple... keep playing.. you will develop your own style, and as the # of hands you have played increases, you can't help but getting better...in every phase.. from reads, to analyzing bet sizes and patterns.. there's nothing specific I ever focused on, other than playing more and more hands, and it will come naturally to you.

I don't play a lot online for "real money", I prefer live games. According to my stats on one of the poker tracking sites, I have played in 164 tourneys+sit n go's with an average ROI of 79%.. thats a small sample size obviously.

fukk this game is frustrating

Assuming you are, on average, equal to the othe 9 at th final table you'd only expect to win 1/10. Thus, in 4 trials you only have about 35% to win at least 1, so there is nothign unusal about goign 0/4.

also this owuld be expecting all the stacks are equal which they are not.

im out in 26th....no 5 final table in 5 days for me

better luck next week

**B1GER1C828** · 02-11-11, 02:02 PM

good try sammy. i got off to a quick start and then just didnt have any flops help me.

**ramones951** · 02-11-11, 03:07 PM

The late play in the tournament is all push and pray because the blind levels are set up like a turbo would be on any other poker site... is it so much to ask for 10 minute levels, or ease up the blind increments a little?

Unless most people enjoy it being like a turbo, then all is good

**wtt0315** · 02-11-11, 05:29 PM

dont feel bad i finished 9th today. so in two weeks i have a 3,3,5,7,8,9,

so 6 final tables out of ten trys and nada

**Soxsfan9** · 02-11-11, 05:51 PM

I have seen you push with 55 right beside UTG with no need to....get lucky and defend the play. Who cares that you have made the final tables, all everyone cares about is W's and you can't get them! so STFU

**cant call it** · 02-12-11, 09:13 AM

got 15th yesterday

I guess that is a big step up from #55 the day before

**SamsNCharge99** · 02-14-11, 03:54 PM

5th final table in 6 days...and got 4th again

common SBR, there should be wild cards to this saturday tourney

even if there were ur no wildcard of the mlb so it wouldnt matter

**sjm5122** · 02-14-11, 03:55 PM

It's tough. Once those blinds get that high, you don't have a lot of choices unless you have a very large stack.

**SamsNCharge99** · 02-14-11, 03:56 PM

SBR, there needs to be 5 Wild Card Seats into Saturday Poker Final

25 seats given out, fill up the 3 tables.

5 final tables for me in 6 days

4th, 4th, 5th, 10th, 10th

common SBR

**onetrickpony** · 02-14-11, 03:58 PM

desperation is showing
