Last two tournies unreal.....

[Ninersnut]

Talk about running bad. Last night flop two pair with A5 and push guy makes better two pair on the river. Tonight push with Aces after the flop get spiked on the river again. So frustrating to make the right plays and get killed. Thanks for the outlet for the rant.

Poker sucks sometimes gotta grind thru!

[mvp123]

i know i hate when you got yours in good and someone makes a shitty call and gets lucky but thats part of it

I'm sure for most of the hundreds of crappy hands that win in the SBr tourneys there's a favorite getting in good that loses.

I guess when you do finally get on the other end of a suck out it makes it a little more satisfying.

[pouroupoupou]

That's poker...

[Czu81]

at least it was a free tourney.... so just enjoy the game

[Ninersnut]

Both early in the tourny like 5-10 minutes in had the chips in a dominating position then poof all gone. Frustrating as hell.

[Wulfman14]

yea i hear you man. frustrating . but thats poker . i was in the lead after about 15 mnutes of play . lost it all in two hands. one was a river flop that gave the guy a straight..

[mighty maron]

Two outted on river with 4 left to go that would have givven me 75 percent of the chips remaining. It happens...My KK spiked a K against AA....It all equals out

Yeah the other night I was getting a little tilty after was doing ok in the tourney top 10 stack about mid-way thru when I lost about 75% of my stack when my pocket tens didn't hold up on basically a coin flip when I tried to steal blinds/antes from early position and got called by KQ.

Then Mr Tilty makes a stupid play a few hands later to bust out of the tourney.

Play a little SBR cash tables. Big blind 73. Flop 336. Turn is a 7. I think the river was a 5, so there should be straights out there and a flush got there too three spades I believe. I'm licking my chops hoping to get a straight or a flush come a' calling.

Decent sized pot, opponent flips over pocket 6's for 66633 over 33377. Ugh.

A few hands later I get some nice little pocket aces, but the board doesn't cooperate and comes out JJKKT IIRC. In some sense this wasn't so bad as the board texture prevented me from losing my stack here.

So is this yet another in a thousand SBR bad beat stories?

After quitting my first thoughts were to be frustrated with some of the back luck I had, which I parlayed into tilty bad play in some cases.

However after this I was struck with the thought....actually I'm LUCKY, I didn't lose ONE CENT of my own money.

All I can say is THANKS SBR, really you CAN'T LOSE playing SBR poker.

[Ninersnut]

Looks like my luck isn't changing. Holding 89 flop a straight j 10 7.....you know whats coming ace to give my man with KQ broadway.

[RANDAZZO]

That's poker. One bad beat after another..

Well put!

[bigdog3580]

Bad beats are hard to take. Good Luck from now on.

[ttwarrior1]

[kaschmunnie]

[andyjc712]
