I lost a 20k cashgame pot once, ended my 40 minute reign as king of 50/100 on ub.

LJ you mentioned a while back you lost a $25k pot? Would you mind posting the story behind the shot and the hand?

FWIW, I'm sorry your results were (are?) poor. I respect you as a player a lot and I wish you the best of luck.

Iron Man free roll.

I won the Gold Freeroll, then the HU shoot out and went on to face the 3 pros (Marco Traniello, Paul Sexton, Keith Sexton).

Marco did not play well and was distracted due to watching his kids. I'm not sure if any of them had a stake if they won or lost, but I blew through Marco pretty quickly, ship $5k.

Next was Paul Sexton. He was playing super aggro, I was sitting back waiting for a hand. Stacks were 1340 to 1660ish

I get K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB, he raises like he has every hand, I call.

Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (btw, i can never remember what the middle club was)

He pots, like always, I hollywood/tank call.

Turn: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] , I really don't care at this point what the turn is/was, this was my moment.

I check to him, he pots (like always) for around 600 or so. I CRAI he has to call another 600 I think.

He tanks, calls: flips over A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K x

River: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Assuming I beat him 90% of the time after my hand holds, and I'm even money against his dad in the next match, my equity was about $20-25k, since you get $5k per pro you beat and $50k for beating all three (unless you won the Iron freeroll, you get $100k).

I ended up losing to Keith... partly due to some coolers, in part due to being disheartened.

So sick.

Is there some difference between the 5s a 10s I don't recognize? As far as I can tell they play exactly the same, but I can't beat the 10s.

Starting to feel like these hu tourneys aren't for me.

Indiana · #**355** 09-19-2007, 11:37 PM

im still trying to fig out if there's a difference between the 115s and the 220s....believe me there's no differences between the 5s and 10s LOL.

well, that almost makes me feel better. I don't know how long I can sustain life on 5 an hour.

Broke even over 1800 cash game hands, played very very well... took down $1600 for 4th in the FTP $24k guaranteed. Not a bad day.

ChicagoRy · #**359** 09-20-2007, 04:08 AM

On PS Indy, yes, on FTP maybe not.

This is unbelievable. 400NL I just can't win. So many coolers I can't believe. Yesterday I lost 2000$ at 400NL, won 800$ at 200NL. It was a donkament day yesterday for me. I won 1st place of 44$6maxNL for 1500$ and finished 2nd in 16$NL for 860$. I'm done for HU cash for sometime. Gonna analyze what I do wrong when I am steaming and why people always have coolers. I guess that's poker. Donk it up, I am playing donkaments now!
