** Official August Chat Thread: The White Swan **

[grouchie]

Poker Fking hates me right now and I've lost all ability to win.
The past 5 days I have been getting re-raised A TON!
People can see my cards because when I miss or just hit 1 pair, all my cont bets get RR'd on the flop. If I flop a set with my low pair then I get no action and everyone folds.

If I have TT-QQ an A or K flops and I eithor get Raised big on the flop/turn or I get donk bet into for small amounts on all 3 streets only to see that they called my raise/re-raise with A6 and take the pot down.

I'm frustrated, not playing my best, and losing when I actually get my money in with the better hands.

Mistake 1: did not push pre flop, or at least RR nice and big.
Mistake 2: Fold to push, Fold to push, Fold to push.

I Can't beat anyone who has less than 75 bucks this week. This hand and the next one happened within 25 seconds of eachother, and then I tilted another buy in a way after that because I was so fking pissed.

Yeah I figured KK/QQ when you fired turn again.

I think I should have raised the flop.

[rosso87]

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] i hate donkaments

best tourny i've played in terms of stats was at 100% showdowns won before this hand, above average in chips and looking at making a very late finish.

62 players left and 54 get paid, at this table i was running at only 12% saw flop over about 100 hands, in other words i was playing extremely tight so its not like this moron could be thinking i was stealing.

i guess i should have folded?

notes:

brag: ended the tourny in 20th place after i was left with 2k after this hand i went on to continue my good play and only lost 1 more showdown. in total i had 16 showdowns, lost 2 only (this one and the one that knocked me out)

beat: reason im posting this, the guy that did this to me went on to win the tourny and pocketed just under 5k.

variance: donkaments!

beat: i feel like hanging myself [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]


sorry i can't convert the hand none of the converters work for this for some reason :S

[MyTurn2Raise]

i have no clue why villain did that rosso

that is a very donkish move

it looks like you were stalling to hit the money
but, you bet 1/3 of your stack UTG
it's obvious you got a decent hand and are committed

oh wellz, every donkament winner I've known is horrible at poker

[SABR42]

Pretty decent session for me. Ran well for the most part. Coolered another reg with top set against top two pair for a standard 200BB pot.
