11 BB Downswing? Post it in here! (Designated No Content Thread) - Page 42

Ignignokt · #**411** 11-21-2005, 05:03 PM

I know it's probably just my paranoia, but I was in the following situation at Party:

In addition to doing the 15BB Challenge (at which I had to quit for the night with almost $60), I was two-tabling 2/4 full ring (damn you, Party, where's the f*$%#ing 6-max?).

One table I'm doing just okay, but the other I'm taking a sledgehammer to, to the tune of +35BB in under three hours. Basically playing aggressive ABC, no undue donkerizing, vs. some very loose callers who love their ace-rag and bottom pair.

So, now I want to take a break but I'm loving the table, so after I fold my cards UTG I sit out.

IMMEDIATELY the table breaks completely up! When I get back a few minutes later there are only two others left, and they're both sitting out!

Now, I could see this happening if I was paying everyone off, but I've been winning, and every time I show down I've got a quality hand, so WTF?

Edit: maybe they saw a good opportunity to leave before I got any more of their money?

oops...guess it should be noted in the first hand, villain had AT, then in the second, villain Q7

PokerStars 2/4 6 max is JUICY. And there is a reload bonus going on now there.

That's only half sarcastic: I'm working on the PLISTINGS bonus right now.

You should thank the guy in hand two for saving you some money.

FTP $75 token

9-player NL SNG, or MTT $9000 guarantee?
SNG pays 310, 186, 124 for 1,2,3
$9000 should have 100-200 in and pay top 15-25 spots $3000 down to $100.

expect heavy competition at the SNG...

Koss · #**420** 11-21-2005, 10:19 PM

I find SNG's to be incredibly boring. MTT's are much more fun!
