SBR Poker Room....you won

[mpaschal34]

I surrender...you are better than me. First it was the AK vs AQ bad beat in the middle of the tournament that left me with a 165 chips. I was able to chip back up to a little over 4K. Then after going through the blinds at 300/600 you moved me to the other table to go through the blinds...what happens after those two hands....you send me back to the previous table I came from to be on the BB again. 2700 in blinds without playing a hand. I’m basically forced all in from that point on and get 11th.

You win....my competitive days here are over unless decent payouts are brought back. If not (which I expect), I will only stop in to occasionally to say hi to friends and to see how quickly I can bust out.

Thanks for the 5 yrs of entertainment and tell SBR Doug I miss him. He had a great 2 day run.

[ArunSh]

Sorry to see you go paschal, you are one of the good guys here for sure. Unfortunately SBR decided to mock me as well, despite letting me suck out on you, they managed to bubble me in 8th since I couldn't pick up a hand to save my life late. Ahh well, no way I can complain since I should been out earlier at least in the hand vs you (plus another, more minor admittedly, suck out).

I do hope things go back to the "better" days here. Things were really looking up with the additional weekend events and such, but now those seem to be mostly stopped and with omaha not working for the last 3-4 weeks, many people are discouraged. Hope SBR sees this and takes steps to combat it or others will follow you I fear

Lol I'm -2500 that he'll be playing in the next tourney

[Grivas_Digeni]

I hope another 20 people follow suit and quit. Before tomorrow's qualifier, please!

[bobbywaves]

Lol I'm -2500 that he'll be playing in the next tourney

Why are you laying odds, when you're a constant broke dikk incapable of accepting wagers on it?

[bobbywaves]

Fuk off

Will do, on my way to your girls house now.

[bobbywaves]

Fuk off

That's the best you got?

[mpaschal34]

As usual....Morino making a losing proposition. Normally this is saved for players talk.

PS...SBR, can you process Goatman pro membership? He’s saying he submitted it almost two weeks ago. I’d really like to pay off my loan once he repays me.

[thomorino]

Not that I care, I guarantee my footbal record is slaughtering you

[mpaschal34]

How about this...we wager on who’s lost more real money this year?

[ArunSh]

Really wish I would have just lost the AQ to your AK - could have left with a clear conscience then. But going out 8th and naturally feeling like if I had done something different or something had gone very slightly differently near the end that I would have made it.

Luckily I think someone felt bad for me - when I bubbled and the Eagles/Redskins was simultaneously 14-13 at halftime making my U45.5 pick for BTP look rather grim, I somehow managed to pull that one out and finished BTP with 4-1 this week, beating Prick by 0.05 units and winning 1759 freeplay points! Honestly was probably better to win that game than it was to qualify for the Final. So sort of ended well at least!

[shari91]

Although I know how frustrated you are, hopefully you change your mind and decide to stick around. It'd be very sad to see you go after all these years!

Welcome to the club, you’ve had a great run.

I made similar move a year or so ago. The extra time is a godsend, don’t look back, say for the occasional visit.

Arunsh...sorry you didn’t qualify, but congrats on the BTP win. I didn’t take my loss to you personally because with the setup the tournament and people playing tight, it was going to end up being an all in fest.

Shari...thanks for the kind words.

[Auto Donk]

funny this should happen, as I announced I too am done with sbr poker during the week, no more dailies at all, but will play on the weekend in the trny or two that offers a reasonable payout (500 or so pts to the winner), BUT GIVE UP ON THE PATHETIC BAD-BEAT FILLED/TERRIBLE PAYOUTS TRNIES DURING THE WEEK.....

I think big-o and waves witnessed the lunacy last friday of my ak calling j9 or j8 only to see the traditional bs 4 cd flush wipe me out.....

last night I called a j8 shove with the better hand to lose a load of chips instead of becoming chip leader, and just can't take the rigged shithole beats day in and day out; which happen live, but only once every ten sessions, unlike sb f'n r poker, where the shit happens to someone nearly every other hand.....

the payouts under the old structure made it worthwhile, but 30 measly pts for 5th or 6th, whatever it is, coupled with doubled up prices in the store, make the whole situation untenable....

back to playin live in htown if i need poker during the week..... good luck men..... (I may still you on weekends if i'm around); but done with the dailies til the old (or better) payout structure returns......

vaya con dios!

Buddy i went in ace 10 suited .only 1500 chips because 2 thru 5 were my fav chips.u had 3300 chips and went 8 jack unsuited from jump.u caught a flush. U shouldn t be crying about shit

"Ahh well, no way I can complain since I should been out earlier at least in the hand vs you (plus another, more minor admittedly, suck out)."

I guess you can't read? And in the hand vs you, you went all in from the small blind for ~1200 chips when blinds were 300/600 - you expected me to fold any two cards for 600 chips more? That's poker, get over it.

Thanks paschal - glad you unlike the person above can seem to understand it's part of the game, rather than taking it personally. I too would have been annoyed if I'd been on the receiving end of a bad beat of any sort (which I have plenty of times), but I accept my beats just as I accept that sometimes I will be on the good end as well - that's poker.

Really wish SBR would have at least given us a deepstack event rather than turning the event into a luckfest so quickly. Whether the luckfest part worked in my favor or not, I do think that would have been better given the fairly high stakes - forcing a bit more skill into it. Is what it is though.

Whatever happened, again it's poker, just gotta ride the roller coaster even when it wants to make you throw up at times! Hope you stick around for sure, would suck to lose you from the poker room!

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I hope you are talking out of frustration mpas. Hoping to still see you around on the tournament tables.

[chico2663]

Wrong i won 3 hands with no one going with me.ace2x,q2x and9 2x. That was my 3 hands i won. I am not priviledged enough to be in the suck out club.otherwise i would of made the 20

[chico2663]

P s 300 small blind plus 1220 equals 1520. U were at 3100 chips. I understand and agree with your reasoning but don t think u should be griping about being screwed

wish sbr would just have a relaxing poker time for a bit the world cup felt like a grind just to try and qualify, be nice to just have a few months with daily tournaments maybe even bigger payouts to make people happy

[franklee168]

Hope this is just the frustration talk that's coming out right now. If not, it's been a pleasure having you beat me for my chips. BOL in your future endeavors.

[ArunSh]

Again, where did I gripe? I specifically said I really had no basis to complain. And you agree I played the hand vs you correctly - yes it was bad luck for you, but part of the game again.

Simple fact is: this tourney was a build up of several months of playing, rolled into one "daily" - that is a fairly short stacked turbo event where it was mostly a matter of who would run well in the short-term. Not the most satisfying thing, but that's what was given to us. And anyone who got "unlucky" in any manner, be it taking a bad beat to get knocked out (as you/paschal mostly did) or bubbling (like I did) in the worst SBR tournament to bubble in - obviously it was going to sting a lot more than it happening in some random SBR poker tourney.

Just wish you could act a little more mature about it than you are seeming to, as paschal did. Obviously the beat I put on him frustrated him as it would anyone, but he understood it wasn't personal, part of the game, and didn't claim I was "crying" when that clearly was not what I was doing.

[chico2663]

when telling the truth is immature ...call me immature. I agree with you that it sucks. Hell i was up there all this time but when you lose as consistently as i do on bad beats. it is just tough to see someone gripe. Whether it is anyone. Last 2 weeks i lost all in on aa 3x qq 2x . It is just as frustrating for i to see that my end hand was just like the millions before. It would be different if i bluffed. I 'm sorry for reading your post wrong. But imagine if you were on the skirts all year and see bad beat after bad beat. Seems like the same people always win these. But i guess you 4got apologizing to me 3 weeks ago when i had more chips than you. I went in aa. You called me with 7 9 non suited and hit st8. Since i had more chips than u i played another hand went all in with 88 big o went with me because i was short chip with 5 7 non suited and hit full house. Again i 'm sorry but you sucked out against me like 5 times that i recall. then you say i suck out which never happens...little bitterness there. When you get old and sick all u have is time on your hand. Wish i would of spent more time working at the catholic church for free

No idea which hands you are talking about, but I will take your word for it. The fact that you keep these in your mind though is a tad disturbing to me. I mean playing these tourneys on a daily basis, I take a ton of beats myself (more than average player I'm sure since I'm a tighter player than most). I don't complain though when it happens to me, and I certainly don't remember who put what bad beat on me last week (much less three weeks ago) and so forth as you seem to.

If you take any of the regulars in SBR, mpaschal being one of them, and a few others like jakepeavy, dlowilly, etc., if you look at the history I have with each player (quite extensive given the # of years we've played in same games), I don't doubt there are many times when I sucked out on one of them, and there are many times each of them sucked out on me - again part of the game, and when you play against the same people over and over, it will happen - it goes both ways. Yes it can be annoying in the moment, but acting immature about it is silly. I don't recall saying anywhere that you suck out, but whether I did or not, giving the impression that you are the only one who takes bad beats is ludicrous and in regards to you sucking out saying "which never happens" - I guarantee you have delivered plenty of bad beats yourself.

Maybe I'm being harsh about this, and if so I apologize. But it really gets to me frankly whenever someone consistently complains about bad beats, starts posting acting like it happens to them and them only, and they've never been on the delivering end themself - which is absolutely ludicrous. I've just seen too many folks who go off every time they take a bad beat but whenever they do it to someone else, they somehow think it's business as usual, that somehow they "deserved" it for whatever reason.

I think Matt Damon's quote from Rounders is quite applicable in this situation:

"Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career."

Just try not to have such selective memory when dealing with poker of any type. I know it gets frustrating, but it's silly to think whenever you are running bad that it somehow only happens to you, and that you've never run good in your life as you seem to imply.

[bobbywaves]

See ya back at the tables on Jan 3rd Mpash and autodonk

Fact, nobody suffers more bad beats than Waves. Why? Because you have to be ahead to suffer a bad beat, & I'm ahead in 94.4% of the hands I play.

Additionally, being ahead in 94.4% of my poker hands will also lead to numerous high cashes. It's why I easily cruised to a guaranteed top 20 seat, despite missing at least 3 weeks of tourney's. Consequently, I didn't have to participate in a qualifier.

buddy i had a stroke. 5 different neurologists have told me i am only person they know to have a stroke where i did to live. When you get old and your treat in life is to go to krogers finally getting out of the house. All you have is memory. Wouldn't wish this life on anyone.

from all those reach arounds you give those trannies when they get tired of bangin' you, and decide to have you do them doggystyle -- the only position you can make penetration with that tiny gherkin you're sportin -- and demand a reach around since you can't give em any prostate satisfaction.....

ps... you're full of shit on your "gettin it in ahead" stat.... you either suckout or you bust out, punk

I missed 3+ weeks of tourney's & still smoked you. You're a pathetic poker player, simply not good enough to qualify.

Have fun watching Championship from the rail chump

[mpaschal34]

Wow...didn’t realize I’d start this active of a thread, but I guess I did. My biggest frustration isn’t taking a bad beat but having to pay 6 blinds in 7 hands because how I was moved from table to table as people were being eliminated. I understand the bad beats (that happens in poker). But when your software doesn’t know how to move players, that’s just pitiful. I know....it’s free poker so no one wants to hear it. So this is my last rant.

Moving forward I still hope that some of the regulars continue the tradition of meeting in Vegas/possibly elsewhere to play/hangout. Especially when Opti comes all the way from Australia. Even if his beer of choice is PBR.

You guys actually have changed my ways.

I've been drinking less and buying more expensive beer. Last PBR I had didn't taste so great. :\

Had an awesome German Pils last week. And have a box of Dutch Grolsch this week.


The re-seating algo is shitty. But it's the same for everyone so sure it's benefited you as much as it hasn't. Walk it off mate ;-)
