Inconclusive evidence. Three hands from millions. Bigger sample required. Just varience. Happens to us all. Stop whinnying. Calling all-in with AK pooh.

Mwaaaahahahahahaha! Just a few of the standard answers

)

On a serious note - those 10c multi-table tourneys are notoriously difficult to negotiate.

GaryQQQ · February 2011

Phew, I'm no longer doomswitched.

Won a 180 man turbo Sng at PS yesterday afternoon to break my jinx there . Then entered 3 BH tourney's here this morning. Bombed out of the first one early which left two running at the same time. The hand below is the precise moment my luck changed. I'd just made a big lay down with my KK facing a terrible board (ace high, 3 hearts, possible straight). As the shortie with 11BB I'm shoving any ace from the button, limpers or not. As you can see I rivered the guy, a good old fashioned suck-out when dominated. From there on all my big hands actually held up, I couldn't believe it. Went on to win this tournament and come 2nd in the other for good measure.

Nice result in the 180 S&G. Neildown had a very nice 4th place in one last night. He was playing well enough to win it, but still well done ......... to both of you. I managed to cash in the $40K but nothing to write home about.

Thanks. Mine was only a $2 tourney, but nice to win with the very top heavy structure, 54x buy-in for first. Gonna try and build a roll there and have a shot at the higher buy-ins (are we allowed top say that here?).

Yeah good result and nice return. The $4 (that neidown entered) pays $200+ so they are good value. The $4 and even the $7 aren't too different from the one you played. It does toughen up at the $11+ levels though.

Oh happened again second hand i played this morning. 20/1 my smelly bottom. 5 set over set scenarios in one day? pfffffffff

AMYBR · February 2011

make it 6

AMYBR · February 2011

Does somebody want to try and tell me that someone rivering a set, when I have a lower set or FH by the turn 9 times in 3 days is bad luck or variance?

20/1..20/1...20/1.. Say it with me. Utterly improbable.

20/1 doesnt mean it will happen 20/1 either guys. It means the probability is layed at that. If you run the numbers, within a sample size, 20/1 hitting with that frequency becomes something else entirely. It becomes extremely improbable.

4's sucks but its what, 65/35 so pretty much 2:1 on the flop? Not the worst beat. Then you get in crushed by the A's. These arent bad beats or especially Actiony, they are just poker bud, no offense

Posted by AMYBR

What??especially actiony(is that a word).Two guys flop a flush then

another hits a FH on the turn.I'd hate to see what you think is

actiony.no offence

AMYBR · February 2011

Its pretty standard fare bud. Trust me, I have the same concerns as you. Yes, these hands are tricky, and yes will provide action. But How much do you love you hand when the turn pairs the board? 4 players go to an unraised flop, seems like a disaster from the start. It is actiony, but not above and beyond standard play.

The KK vs AA that left you short stacked is unpleasant but again, reasonably frequent in any poker format (pair versus pair). Just seems like poker to me. Normal to get it in with the 4's, but its not like your hand isnt vulnerable. But again, 4 way unraised pot, stuff happens. Any pot I play 4 handed would be done very carefully, even more so in an unraised one I can only comment on the hands you've put up bud. But I do share your opinion, just not based on these hands

Posted by christiann

In the thread below this one you put in a min-raise with AA - is that not limping?

The concern I have is that when you slow play any hand the OP hits. Slow play AA and hit an A on the turn and the OP with 23 hits Quads. The rule on Sky seems to be that if you don't throw your opponent off any hand they WILL hit - not they might hit - they will hit.

Try this: Enter a low cost mtt and purposely limp in with your big hands. Even one-on-one you will get outdrawn.

It's some sort of perverse punishment for trying to build a big pot.

In Response to Re: These regular action hands, its all starting to look a bit siily now. : In the thread below this one you put in a min-raise with AA - is that not limping? The concern I have is that when you slow play any hand the OP hits. Slow play AA and hit an A on the turn and the OP with 23 hits Quads. The rule on Sky seems to be that if you don't throw your opponent off any hand they WILL hit - not they might hit - they will hit. Try this: Enter a low cost mtt and purposely limp in with your big hands. Even one-on-one you will get outdrawn. It's some sort of perverse punishment for trying to build a big pot.
