Is there anything more infuriating
When you get knocked out of a bountyhunter by some moron calling your shove with any two cards that could never be ahead in a million years.
Yes yes yes, I know, its great when you get it in way ahead but its still infuriating beyond belief when somebody consciously calls with a hand they know will be second best and luck out.
I can accept losing to people chasing draws, because there is at least some logical play in that. Or even if I am low stacked in a bounty - fine, but the stacks were about 7600 to me and 8200 to them, so they call off J4off suit - just had to vent this
Back to cash, bhunters are too tilting.

If you care to read it again, you will realise what I actually said was I am quitting btees as they put me on tilt. Tilt is never profitable for a session so its a good poker decision.
And yes, again, I said I like them getting it in behind. But I find it tilting when losing to a player that called with a hand that they know is behind.
For somebody that would have us believe is a good player, not so much with the comprehension hey.
I am not saying I will not play in situations where players play bad, I am saying I will try and avoid situations that send me into hypertilt.
I will go back to 4nl, where they play is still lolbeatable, but doesnt tilt me.
Please read it until it goes in.
no, no - mustn´t get dragged into this, however tempting it looks
FWIW ccf - doesn´t this apply to all poker - admittedly BHs on Sky are pretty bad for this but i get knocked out of so many tournaments when getting it in ahead - coolers are in the minority - and no it´s not infuriating at all - well ok a little bit - and at times a big bit but it happens so often have to get over it
Having said that I don't think it's infuriating losing a hand when your ahead. I think it's losing a hand when your ahead to some (insert expletive) who wins the hand calling with rubbish and then they walk away thinking to themselves "what a great call that was with 10 8 off, what a great player I am, I'm so much better than that guy I knocked out"
Long term it's good that this guy (or gal) goes on thinking he's an absolute superstar and continues with the crazy calls but jeez sometimes it's hard not giving them a mouthful to bring them back down to earth. Just have to keep telling myself "long term this guy pays me money" and just bite my lip!
I just thought I should warn you CCF until you are able to play on nl10/20p I would just not bother at all with MTT
you have already seem how costly they have been to me
all them KK hands were from BH.
I'm by no means a great MTT player but I'm using me cos I can't think of any other MTT players who just play purely small MTTs.
Here's my SS stats from Scheduled tourneys since I started on Sky...
Lambert180
SCHEDULED
Count = 568
Av Profit = £0.89
Av Stake = £4.61
Av ROI = 47.2%
Profit = £505
So I pretty much exclusively play small MTTs, shown by my average stake, usually only £5 and under MTTs, I'm not even that good an MTT player and I have (if I do say so myself) a pretty sick ROI, and a pretty decent profit from only small MTTs... AND this doesn't even take into account the fact I've probably won another £150-£200+ in heads during that time but SS doesn't count bounties.
Given that 90% of MTTs on Sky are BHs, it's safe to assume 90% of the above volume is frmo BHs
Profit can be made in these games BECAUSE of these bad calls, not despite them.
What did you shove with?
Please say j3 off, please say j3 off!
It is annoying when you lose but hey ho there is a lobby full of tourneys just move on.
I tilt easy trust me but at the end of the day if you are getting it in ahead you will win eventually simples
that is good, mines pretty sick too ( as in THAT SUCKS sick, -2.7% yes that is a minus )
I DO NOT GET INFURIATED WHEN LOSING A HAND THAT I AM AHEAD IN
I GET INFURIATED WHEN I LOSE A HAND TO A PLAYER THAT KNOWS THEY ARE CALLING WITH A MUCH WORSE HAND
I realise this is +ve, but it doesnt mean that it cannot be very a annoying.
If anybody still misses the point, quite frankly you are probably due to be collected by the blue bus.
Put it another way. What I have mentioned in the original post, is the most infuriating way, imo, to get knocked out of a tourney.
As a comparable, say, losing a hand to somebody that cannot fold a flush draw, no matter the odds, isnt really annoying at all, because I can see there logic.
And lambert, you are wrong, even at 4nl, you are not going to get a call by somebody who KNOWS THEIR HAND IS WORSE (aside from after a flop and chasing a draw). Neither would that happen at a non bounty hunter tourney.
Plus, of course, your stats have no relvance whatsoever to this thread.
I was saying about what method of getting knocked out makes me most angry/infuriated. This is nothing to do with statistics.
But yeah, take out satellites and about 90% of MTTs on here are BHs, don't think there's anything wrong with my maths lol
I wouldnt say quite 90%, but then i cannae be bothered to work it out exactly.
Peace
