tilt rant

I've seen worse.

**crjohnson32** · 11-09-11, 11:31 AM

I've seen worse beats too, it's not even the bad beat that pissed me off. It's just how for him to commit his 4000 chips preflop he had to believe his KQ was the best hand, which is completely baffling to me.
For him to beleive he had the best hand in that situation is what pissed me off.

People here call a flush possible board, all in with only top pair say K3 on a K flop, not having a single card to the flush or decent kicker all the time. And of course all the time they get rewarded on the turn or the river here for such blatantly bad play. In Sbr poker, real poker odds mean nothing.

I know

but in this case I'm sure for him to have called his brain must have deduced that his KQ was the best hand. He just sat and played in a tourney for more than an hour, so he had to of thought that he had the best hand in order to commit his entire stack of over 20 big blinds to the pot preflop. Which is of course absolute lunacy given the way the hand played out.

I mean how many times have you been raised twice preflop, once 3.5x the big blind, then again all in for 20 big blinds and thought to yourself "I bet my KQ off suit is the best preflop hand"?

My last 2 days of poker. Went all in with 1400 chips yesterday before flop with aces. Guy calls who had 2000 chips with ace 9. Flop comes jack 9 2 course the turn is another 9 i lose. Today guy raises 300 i call before flop with jack 10 suited. Flop comes 8 jack jack i'm like sweet. So i go all in the original raiser calls me. I'm like what does he have aces or something of course he has jack king. I lose with trips do to him having a higher kicker. Thats poker ha just got to laugh it off. Alot of it is luck and i haven't had any lately. Just one of those stretches.

And if he folds to your reraise or you river the ace, life is a field of daisies and this thread is never made.

You got the situation you wanted, just not the result. Would it have been better if he called with AQ, PP, or Aces?

I think the most frustrating part for me is not getting unlucky.
It's knowing that the guys you get unlucky to, in many cases, genuinely beleives they had the better hand when committing their chips. Somehow their brain has deduced that the best course of action would be to call or raise all in because surely they have the best hand based on how it's played out so far.

It's frustrating knowing that there is only a split second between them realizing they made a wrong decision, and forgetting about it because they hit the 3 outer, and then not learning from their obvious mistake and carrying on with the same archaic style of poker.

other than AA or KK, I was confident that worse case scenario is a coin flip. To go deep in tourney's you have to win coin flips, so if I lose a coin flip that's fine because I understand the nature of multi table tourney's.

You get enough 27's 49's or crap hands in a row, KQ off might look real good to someone.

based on the 5 all in bets I saw you make in the span of 3 min with well over 10 big blinds in front of you I'm sure you've been involved in plenty of KQoff all in bets after being reraised twice preflop.

**BeerDog99** · 11-09-11, 05:16 PM

crjohnson32, Dane's point about wanting the guy to call with that crap and not geting the "right" result is correct but I totally understand the frustration of your position.

I too have asked myself that question when people call me with crap and get lucky. I just try and laugh at the person's inane reasoning that is was a correct move... :-)

So many table captains on this site, so annoying. Who cares how other people play

**daneblazer** · 11-09-11, 05:47 PM

If everyone played flawlessly...well...there wouldn't be much money in poker. Everyone just sitting around at a table at the paragon of their poker game talking about how great of a player they are, while merely trading chips and all losing because the only winner at the table would be the rake. On the other hand, there would probably be a lot less bitchy poker players. Not sure why you're complaining here.

LOL, stop being so logical...

Let a guy rant a bit...

**k13** · 11-09-11, 06:11 PM

Yes it is annoying. This is everyday. People don't know when they are supposed to fold.

Then we have to listen to how great they are because they have x amount of points on the leaderboard. Short term variance is great.

Stacks 3000 each, typical SBR top 20 player limps in for 200 utg +1, I shove pre from the SB, he calls with 44....lol I have QQ

.........

**k13** · 11-09-11, 06:15 PM

Problem with bad players in tournaments is they kill your equity. Even if you are 75% ahead they are putting you at risk.

It be fine if we could play 16 tables at once but we can't here.

**Coachep** · 11-09-11, 06:26 PM

Fact of the matter is free poker=shitty poker. People have no problem going all in with shitty hands on a hunch when they dont lose anything for being stupid. The best you can do is play conservative until most of the donks are out and then hope the people at the final table got there by knowing how to play.

**dabomguy11** · 11-09-11, 11:15 PM

Lol, this is your classic "They ain't respecting my raises!". You realize that you make money in the long run every time they make a call like that, right?

**Cuse0323** · 11-10-11, 07:28 AM

is this really another complaint about a free sbr tourney. lose a 2 dime pot to a 2 outer on the river and you can complain a little bit.
