13th. Semi-bubbled yet again.

The two big hands that hurt me:

guy betting on me, I call, had better hand (ace kicker over Q), guy hits 2 pair on turn.

then after that I got rivered by a 3. Haven't cashed this month.

[yisman]

8th place. All in with AK, shorter stack called with 66. 66 won.

Then next hand had everyone beat it seemed (was all in as bb with 600 chips and change), but guy rivered a straight and beat me.

Brutal hand earlier where I had A something suited, two other cards of that suit came on turn. Other guy shoves heavy on me. He had Q5 of that suit and hit a gutshot straight on the turn, while the flush didn't come.
Had him beat whether the flush came or not, and then he pulls a ridiculous straight.

At least I finally cashed. Hadn't been able to since 10/27.

[beerman2619]

Buck lost on a all in river card gave me a king high flush. Stash had a ace high flush least i can say i always go out with good hands just brutal

[yisman]

Buck lost?

[yisman]

Flop comes with two spades, but with an ace and five, giving me two pair (I was holding A5).

I bet half the pot. Nowisgone folds. NittanyLion calls.

He was holding 24 off and then proceeded to hit a 3.

[yisman]

epic bad beat today.

K7 off, flop comes, no1here bets on me.

He has 8/10 off. I have a 7 which came on the flop, so a pair. Guy has absolutely zilch. Runner runner gutshot straight hits on river..


8/10!

I finished 9th.

you really just need to shut your mouth. you bitch too much for being a below average player. like today calling calling my reraise with your A4 and getting lucky on the river.

Listen retard, you were betting on me when I had two pair and you had a pair of aces with a nothing kicker. You're a terrible player and got lucky on the turn to catch a 6. You have no room to complain when I caught a 4 to win.

Stop crying because your suckout got taken away from you for once.

[cjwatsonfan32]

your the one who posts your daily suckouts no one gives a shi*t about. and when you call a bet of 20 on the flop then see me raise after the turn what did you think i had? your just a dumbass, not too much more to say than that

[yisman]

your just a dumbass, not too much more to say than that

Agreed, not much else to say here.

We can all agree cjwatson is an exceedingly unintelligent person.

It does take a modicum of intellect to play poker properly, which means we can also conclude that cjwatson is lousy at poker.

modicum.

[yisman]

Another word you don't know? Shocking.

[yisman]

Got pretty lucky in today's tournament. Down to final four now.

last two in tournament.

my a10 going against 610. Guy all-ins after flop has a 10. He has one diamond, flop has 2.

Runner runner flush.

I don't mind discussing hands, but I would need a little more info. What was the flop? Who bet, and for what amount? Also, what were the chip stacks and blinds. Those would all be useful if you want to discuss hands (or just copy paste hand history).

[yisman]

I think that he was betting with 8/10 off and no hand at all and then hit a gutshot straight after needing both the turn and river to hit should be enough info.

I would be posting hand history, but the SBR Poker program will only work on my netbook now and it won't save hands on that. I checked the option, but it doesn't work.

[daneblazer]

So I sit down to play the 10am tournament, get dealt 27os right off the bat, then immediately after I fold a transformer blows outside shooting fire 200 feet into the air, knocks the power out for 15 minutes and the internet out for 4 hours.

Maybe that's a sign

[yisman]

10 PM tournament.

100/200 blinds.

Middle position, several folds in front of me (only people in hand so far are sb and bb). I raise to 800 with JJ. brock calls.

Flop comes 7, 10, 10 offsuit. No thread of flush. I bet 800. brock all-ins on me. I call, putting myself all-in (had about 2,400 entering hand).

He has QK. Turn: Queen. River: King

So I obviously had a pretty good hand, and he re-raises me with zilch, and hits on both the turn and the river.

[yisman]

Close to cashing in the DSI tourney tonight, but guy all-ined with J6. I called with A6. Lost.

[k13]

SBR is about flopping the nuts and losing.

[yisman]

Almost cashed tonight but my AQ suited ran into AK suited. Finished 14th.

Witnessed an epic suck out when a guy went all in pre-flop against Thaddeus with 25 diamonds. Thad had A10 I think.

Last card of flop was a diamond. Turn: diamond. River: diamond

Anyway, I don't think I'll be able to play tomorrow.

[yisman]

final table, donkey raises several times bb. He has 55.

I call with KK. All-in, no one else in hand.

Flop clean, turn clean, river 5.

Guy catches trips on the river and I finish 10th.

[yisman]

Just lost an entire prize at ring tables just now.

First chembro has 86, I call with J10, and then someone behind me had KK and went all in.

Then I go all in with remaining stack with KJ suited, called by K10 off, rivered by a 10.

On another of those impossible bad luck runs where nothing wins.

[beerman2619]

man i can't place in a buckin tourney to save my life anymore. First bad beat during today had pocket 10's. Flop comes 10 ace 9 guy goes all in i call. He has ace 8 turn of course is a ace i'm feeling pretty good the river is of course a 8. I'm like damn there goes half my stack would of put me over 10 grand in chips. So couple hands later guy goes all in has about 7 grand in chips. I got over 5 i call with pocket kings. He has ace 7 and of course the turn comes ace 10 3. Been happening to me well over a week now just bad beats. Course been playing sbr poker for awhile now and have seen it numerous times. Poker game of luck i have had none lately.

[yisman]

It never ends. I had 33, trips in the 10 PM, blinds 150/300. tunaguitar bets 600 after turn. I re-raise. tunaguitar goes all-in. I call.

He had 47 diamonds with two diamonds on the board after the turn. No hand unless he pulls a flush out of his ass on the river.

River? Queen of diamonds. No full house hits for me.

Unreal the donks playing. He re-raises my re-raise with no hand?

What were the stack sizes? How active had he been prior to that hand? His play is completely understandable if he was short, close to the bubble, or if he had been inactive and needed to assert himself at the table.

I've yet to see anything on SBR that I haven't also seen similar in live 3-6.

He was not short-stacked. He had about 2,600 chips.

He was not close to the bubble. He was not inactive.

[tunaguitar76]

not exactly. i'm in the sb with 2 limpers.. one being you with a pair. i call 100 with sc's and 700 in the pot.. shocking huh?

the flop is checked around by the two limpers. including you with your pair.

the turn gives me a gut shot and a flush draw. I act first, shall i check again and let one of you make a move or do i bet?

obviously i bet and why wouldn't i? there was no paint on the board and nobody liked their hand enough to bet so far. I most likely have outs if i'm called or raised by someone slow playing a hand. I'm more worried the bb caught something on the flop than I am one of you limpers hitting it. I bet 650 hoping to take the pot there. You raise to 1300, i reraise you the 850 or so i would have left if i folded. I could have folded there and been around my starting amount. The thing is, you checked both previous rounds i have no reason to put you on a hand i couldn't beat with my draws. You also have more chips than me so a min reraise could just be to chase me away. There were 20 or so people left and i needed to get some chips. I'm not sure how you see this as some crazy move. Are you saying if you were in the same position you would have kept checking or folded to the reraise? sure, if i knew you had a set i would have folded but i had no reason to think so since you were playing the hand so passively. You could have bet pre flop or post flop and i would have been gone because ya know.. i didn't have anything but you kept checking allowing me to get a draw. I could have sat back and hoped you three checked again or I could make a move myself.

am i some sort of great poker player.. NO. am i a good poker player.. NO. One thing i am is a person who doesn't go to a forum and cry every time i get knocked out of a tournament, especially when i could have bet at any other time and taken the pot. I wonder how many of your other sob stories were just as much a result of you waiting and letting yourself get into the position to get beat?

judging by all of your posts in this thread i'm gonna guess this will make you feel better.. i bubbled and i played the hand terrible (see bold above) have a good night and don't forget to get more tissues at the store tomorrow.

[tunaguitar76]

yisman, cry all you like but my god, at least post the hh. Several of the things you mentioned were not accurate. it's important enough for you to whine and b1tch about people in the forum but it's not important enough to get the facts straight?

[yisman]

Obviously you've never played poker with me before because if I re-raise, I obviously have a good hand, which is certainly better than yours. So what do you do? You go all-in!

Are you saying if you were in the same position you would have kept checking or folded to the reraise?

I would probably have folded to a re-raise, or if it's against a known donk, called. I wouldn't go all-in with zilch.

sure, if i knew you had a set i would have folded but i had no reason to think so since you were playing the hand so passively.

Yeah, when I re-raised, you had a very good reason to think I had a set.

You went all-in with 2300+ chips with nothing.

[DeluxeLiner]

wow i didn't realize some of you fellas cared so much about a couple of pennies in these poker things.

[daneblazer]

Meh, he had a straight draw and flush draw and basically priced himself in with a bet on the turn. I've seen worse.

[daneblazer]

Plus, I'm not really fond of the open limp with 3's PF. You're setting yourself up for something like this to happen.

[cadillac pete]

I've had my share of bad beats, but what are you going to do? Flush draws always seem to get there against me and not for me. Oh well.

[tunaguitar76]

Obviously you've never played poker with me before because if I re-raise, I obviously have a good hand, which is certainly better than yours.

umm, no. I have no doubt you are a good poker player but you obviously seem to think you are far better than most people. As you know, a "good hand" isn't always the best hand or the winning hand. I'm never going to lay a hand down just because some egotistical guy thinks his re-raise is a sign from above.

The same thing still applies.. you had a pair from the start and never bet. You only decided to play after there were even more possibilities you were beat. You say I should have known you had a set when you re-raised.. at that point i could have had any number of hands that have you beat.

and stop saying i had 2300+ chips.. put your tissues down and read the hh.. hagd

[yisman]

umm, no. I have no doubt you are a good poker player but you obviously seem to think you are far better than most people.

No, I don't. I just know bad poker play when I see it.

As you know, a "good hand" isn't always the best hand or the winning hand. I'm never going to lay a hand down just because some egotistical guy thinks his re-raise is a sign from above.

I'm not egotistical. I just said that anyone who knows my style of play would know that I had a top hand.

The same thing still applies.. you had a pair from the start and never bet. You only decided to play after there were even more possibilities you were beat.

No, I decided to play when my underpair was matched. You decided to play when you still had no hand.

You say I should have known you had a set when you re-raised.. at that point i could have had any number of hands that have you beat.

Yes, but you didn't have any hand, which was my point. If you had a hand I wouldn't have said anything.

and stop saying i had 2300+ chips.. put your tissues down and read the hh.. hagd

Put your tissues down first. Your move. hagd
