If you think any poker site "hates you", it's time to quit.
Sorry, but poker don't work like that.
The Site has no interest in who wins a hand, it already has it's fee, from the Rake, or Reg Fee. It's now a game between the players, it's not a "House Game", where the players play the House, such as Roulette, or Blackjack.
You were a very small fave pre, & never Raised it up. It's a cooler, no more, no less.
It's quite a thing, this logic. When a player loses, it's the Site's fault, when they win, it's down to good play.
You got coolered bud, just unlucky. Next time, the boot will be on the other foot. Enjoy it!
We all really need to challenge all the stock phrases we read about poker. I must have read....
"Pokerstars hates me"
"Ladbrokes hates me"
"Sky Poker hates me"
"Full Tilt hates me"......
a zillion times.
Then we have the other one.....
"The Pokerstars river" (Usually referred to as "jokerstars" in this context)
"The Ladbrokes river"....
...and so on.
If we had Raised pre-flop, it was "game over". We did not, so we got into a nasty spot. We can make things happen, or let things happen. In this case, we did the latter, & so we paid the bill. Betcha you don't let it happen again!
Be a shepherd, not a sheep, make things happen, & challenge the stock phrases you see trotted out over & over again.
Start with "I can't beat all these tez players at low limits, I need to play bigger stakes where it's easier"......! I mean, you can't make this stuff up, & yet it gets trotted out again & again!
And again.....
and again....
and again *

Limping in becomes an increasingly worse play as you become more short stacked.
Limping with 100xbb can be fine in alot of situations.
Limping with 50xbb, can be fine in some situations.
Limping with 20xbb is almost never going to be a good idea.
Limping with 10xbb or less is NEVER going to be a good idea, (unless u have aces and I'm on the big blind
.....And in all the above circumstances, limping with 79 in an "unopened pot" is never ever ever ever going to be a good idea.
It's okay trying to justify it as you've done above, as long as you learn from the advice you get given, and don't do it again.
Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. Oh dear of dear oh dear.
Read that Post by Dohhhh, read it, absorb it, tattoo it on your forehead, whatever.
It is a basic fundamental, like position, raising rather than calling, watching who does what.
We are never limping out of a 10xBB stack. Passing is good sometimes, jamming is good sometimes, limping out of a 10xBB stack is rarely optimal.
I'll even ask the question of Paul Jackson, in tonight's Show. If I remember.
