    Another Brutal Beat

    sometimes i wonder why i play this game...

    when i set my alarm for 3 am to play a game, get 30 minutes in and suffer a huge DONKALICIOUS beat i really wonder...

    Everleaf Gaming Game #350673583
    ***** Hand history for game #350673583 *****
    Blinds 15/30 NL Hold'em - 2012/01/27 - 04:15:37
    Table 5
    Seat 4 is the button
    Total number of players: 9
    Seat 1: Zixipoo ( 2525 Chips )
    Seat 2: Girlygirlxx ( 2170 Chips )
    Seat 3: VictorGold ( 2460 Chips )
    Seat 4: CgCook38 ( 2520 Chips )
    Seat 5: Mrlee1 ( 2830 Chips )
    Seat 6: Mastro ( 2400 Chips )
    Seat 7: xxxx ( 2700 Chips )
    Seat 8: scbigluv ( 1838 Chips )
    Seat 9: SuddenMoves ( 2500 Chips )
    Mrlee1: posts small blind [ 15 Chips]
    Mastro: posts big blind [ 30 Chips]
    ** Dealing down cards **
    Dealt to Mastro [ 2d, 2s ]

    okay. it's early in the tourney. small pockets and i am the BB.

    xxxx calls [ 30 Chips]
    scbigluv calls [ 30 Chips]
    SuddenMoves folds
    Zixipoo folds
    Girlygirlxx folds
    VictorGold folds
    CgCook38 raises [ 90 Chips]

    two callers, one raise to 90. i'm looking at $195 in the pot and $60 to call. i'll be out of position after the flop but i'm currently getting 3 to 1 on my money with four players behind me so the implied odds make this an autocall for me.

    Mrlee1 folds
    Mastro calls [ 60 Chips]
    xxxx calls [ 60 Chips]
    scbigluv calls [ 60 Chips]

    three more callers which is a great position to be in if i can catch another 2.

    ** Dealing Flop ** [ 2h, 7d, Th ]

    YAHTZEE!!! i am in total control!!

    Mastro: bets [ 375 Chips]
    xxxx calls [ 375 Chips]
    scbigluv calls [ 375 Chips]
    CgCook38 folds

    i bet the pot and get 2 callers. no one re-raised so i know (or at least hope very strongly) that no one is sitting on a set of 7s or 10s. of course i could be getting slow rolled but i just don't believe i am.

    ** Dealing Turn ** [ Jd ]

    another diamond hits. now the flush is a possibility. i ruled out a bigger set so i decided to push all-in. i know i have the best hand after the flop and i'm thinking that only a complete fucking moron would call an all-in this early in the tourney with just a diamind draw.

    Mastro: bets [ 1,935 Chips]
    xxxx calls [ 1,935 Chips]
    scbigluv folds

    ** Dealing River ** [ 8d ]

    Mastro shows [ 2d, 2s ] three of a kind, twos

    xxxx shows [ Kd, Td ] a flush, king high
    xxxx wins 5370 chips from main pot with a flush, king high [ Kd, Jd, Td, 8d, 7d ]

    after the flop i am a 94% favorite.
    after the turn i am an 82% favorite.
    after the river i am heading back to bed to catch up on some sleep.

    as long as i live i will never understand the mind of a donkey. when only 30 minutes in to a 2-3 hour contest, i know i could not put my tournament life on the line with just a draw. in a $1 rebuy, maybe. if i was sitting across from some Italian or Ukranian idiot, ok. but this was a Broadcast Game. you expect a higher caliber of play, or at least i do. all i could think of as i went back to bed and stared at the ceiling for an hour was a quote from another LP player... "Cartoon Poker."

    There are some VERY horrible usa players also. The game is up front and center in the public area, so it is easy to see by ALL lp players. Why he called the initial 300 plus bet is beyond me also.I would need to be up to at least 7k to call that 2k bet. If I get 6k to 10k in these games I will generally cash. I love watching these type of players generate a nice stack to then piss it away with more ridiculous play. They have no clue about poker, or how to win a game imo. They just click the mouse and pray!! Sudden calls it cartoon poker, and I call it the idiot assault!!

    ... I feel ya Rob, for real. I dumped my chips and left once it became apparent by the name calling that this was going to be a low brow affair rather than the usual higher standard we've sort of gotten used to...

    funny to hear complaints about name calling from someone so good at name calling . . . . harden the f*ck up already, mute the chat, ignore the chat, whatever. Rise above it instead of quitting and going home

    but back on topic . . . .

    It's usually my immediate reaction when getting felted by a terrible play that sucks out on the river, to be amazed and critical of the complete incompetence of the other player. And they have to suck pretty bad for me to call them incompetent lol

    But after the initial anger fades, I remember that is is precisely these players we count on. They are called fish, and they are there to be exploited, and you did so marvelously. Unfortunately, even the best played hands can lose as long as there are outs in the deck. Such is the nature of the game.

    "Don't school the fish" is what I stick to, try not to even let them know how bad they played or how much they suck. you'll win that match up four out of five times, but that means you'll lose it occasionally too.

    Could a person in the big blind play Ah7h like you did (call multi-way for discount, lead out at flop, overbet river)? Q-10? K-10? 9h8h? Qh9h? Any two Broadway hearts? Point being, just because he made a flush, doesn't mean he had "just" a flush draw. On the other hand, this is exactly why I've been feeling lately (is the last couple years considered "lately?") that tournaments suck.

    Really Curt? is EVERYTHING your business? LMAO. If I'm so good at name calling why do I have chat? oh yea thats what pisses your kind off- I'm smart enough to get my point across without name calling. Unlike a certain "MOD" with an obvious personal issue.

    Ive not ONCE disrupted any LPP game.. I know you prefer the lower brow style of the railbird private games, which is exactly why I avoid them in favor of LPP games- so I can enjoy myself without some jealous bottom feeder running his suck at me all night. Incidentally, and I know facts confuse the shit out of you but oh well- this was the same "gentleman" that was disrupting the final table last week by commenting on everyone's play- prompting calculated moves' blog on railbirds. Is THAT the kind of press you want for this league? Keep defending that behavior. Everyone but you knows the only reason you don't give a crap what the guy does is because his problem is with me- just like you.
