Stuck between a brick wall and the worlds loosest players

edited July 2010 in Area 51
Bubbled so many tournaments in a row now, its rigged a tell ya, rigged.

Now i dont mind bubbling tournaments, but when my opponents call all ins pre flop with 72, 93, 82, Q2

every time all the money has been in pre flop. I find i hard that the system rewards these players with winning hands expessially against far stronger cards, on 3 of those occassions i was holding a PP above 88. Kind of sucks

    Theres on in the poker clinc, i thought id played it wrong pre flop. Ill try find a couple of them but means searching through 2 days of hands to find them so i wont promise anything.

    On the other hand, yes i am indeed ashamed.

    i know i was a little on the short stacked side here. id got rivered top two pair againt trips wasnt ideal.

    The guy has no choice but to call there Don, detter to shove with double the chips and no cards a lot earlier than wait for a hand and put it in so short stacked :)
  • edited July 2010
    He's priced in to call. Getting well over 2/1 to call. Left yourself with no fold equity and he's calling all day there.
    As aces says, shove earlier with more fold equity and it'll take a better hand to call you, especially the big blind.

    Id actually just been rivered the hand before. Wasnt a bad beat as such as it was AK v AQ KJ flop 10 on river. not much i could have done.

    Explains why you are short stacked. Doesn't change why he called.

    A few more examples from what i can find there are worse but im not checking every hand.

    The worst of the lot, ill never understand this call, and how i was 90% pre and 4% post. What makes it worse to me is i actually had the guy covered.

    1. he had to call.
    2. he tried to bluff you, failed and got lucky.
    3. see 2
    4. he over valued his suited K8

    you need to get over these...

    I'm over them now, had my calm down period.

    Heres one that just happened, ok youll say he has to call hes put 600 in i only have 1400. But in calling 600 he commits himself to calling 1400 when heonly has 2000 himself. As a result this baffles me to why someone would put them self in such a situation with 85 suited.
