why does the big stack always win with the worst starting hand?

mac24

happens so often its not funny anymore. it amazes me that they can make a call pre flop with the garbage in their hands unless they know or are bots?

I agree with you to a certain point. I think the BountyHunter mentality encourages players that are stacked to make the pre flop calls with almost any2 indeed I have made some very questionable calls with a decent stack in BHs and got there. When I play other variations I have to remember to switch this mentality off but I am also sure that some players will make these calls regardless of the game. No Bots on here mate the programmers have not got that far yet ;-)

I was gonna post zzzzzzzzzzzz but DoubleAAA might get all upset on OP's behalf. 

OP, you want big stacks to make poor calls. You want medium stacks to make poor calls. And you also want short stacks to make poor calls.

  Ok a few points to be said about his.

 Firstly they dont always win, you just remember the times when they do and forget the times that they dont

 Secondly they have earned the right to call any bet with any 2 crads by having the big stack. Plus you can play the game anyway you want in the first place.

 Thirdly the act of calling these bet with a worse hand is not always even close to being bad play. Have seen people calling shoves with 23 and it has been the right decision irrespective of outcome.

 Fourthly i want a table full of people making bad decisions. The game becomes easier when the opponents make extreme luck their only weapon

It doesn't ......and if was a bot why on earth would you're set it up to make losing calls?...

P.s. bots Don't work!

Pretty tough to get knocked out by someone with a shorter stack than you.

5 tournaments is a miniscule sample.

Pokerscout.com is rigged.

Mac, much better players than you or I, have gone FIFTY tournaments without winning.

Ok, let's just suspend reality and say you're right.

The big stack always wins and pokerscout is correct in giving Sky the worst possible rating.

Why then, would a sensible chip like yourself play on this site?

Lol.

Just lol.

DOHHHHHHH

Who do you think writes the reviews that rate the sites on pokerscout?

It's compiled by 'bad' losing players who refuse to take responsibility for their bad play and look for other people to blame.

For example, I checked out the site after reading this thread, the most recent entry on Sat12th Oct', 2013...............................



this site is so biased towards aggressive players I cant tell you....if u are in a hand against one of the top 10 chip leaders just FOLD - you CANNOT WIN!!!!

last hand in case - my A6 suited was called pre flop by the overall chip leader, who turned over 2-4...flop came down with a 2-2

next tourney, 1 got 3-8 off in the big blind - chip leader only flat called. flop was 3-3-6, great I got trips. turn was the 8 so i hit boat and pushed....chip leader calls and turns 8-8. no pre flop rise with a pocket pair which would have got me off the hand and still I lose to chip leader.

how sky can get away with this is beyond me....you have to wonder if this is fraud?




.........

I'm guessing this is you?

Dohhhh the sleuth.

Fess up Jaccco!

This was you last time you had a bad night on the dyms wasn't it!

	"I have played 3 DYM games tonight, each time finishing 4th! Each time i have gone all in to save myself from ruin with high same suited cards, each of the THREE times i have lost to an unbelievable straight! I can take 1 or maybe 2 as a rare coincidence, but THREE times in a row!!!!! No way, i will be quitting very soon!"

Love this site!

Loooooooooool.

Love it even more now.

"I used to play on Sky, and I was a well-knownish grinder at 2p/4p, regularly destroying the fish and in the process disagreeing with the bellends on the forum, I quickly got a reputation that noone liked me, as I was always getting on people's nerves (usually on purpose) on the forums. In particular I used to have a go at Lambert180 because he's a little Sky kissass and DrRunGood for putting ridiculous beats on me then posting on his 'diary' and everyone telling him his play was awesome when it wasn't.

I self banned my account after seeing some unbelievable things there. "

I have a likely suspect in mind. This is more his style than calcalfold's. I won't say who, obviously. He can't defend himself.

Just a bit of a tease, really. lol

I doubt CCF will ever go higher than 8nl. He bum hunts at 4nl, nuff said!
