Hey, on the OP you mentioned playing live tourneys as well as online. Played any/many yet? How have you gone in those? |
I played in three.
Due to the exceptionally high buyin (for me, $100), I'm limiting them.
Also, I live on an island, so proper live tourney's don't come along very often.
That said, I cashed in all of them, w/ a fifth placing being my best (good for about $600).
Odd thing though, I had two 6th places and one 5th. |

Today was Bad Beat Day.
I dropped more than 8 buyins to the most outrageous beats.
Over and over again I've been beat by the silliest hands. But then again, I'm not angry, because everytime I put an opponent on just the hand he had, got all his chips in, me being at least 5:1 fav (yes, at least 5:1. not 3:1 against obv. flush chasers), but i was still outdrawn on rivers.
Man, its crazy.
The last one, I had K9 he had AT. Position be damned, I raise to steal (blinds 75-150), he min-reraises, I call (due to odds).
Flop comes K-9-6. I bet, he calls.
Turn is a A. I check (knowing by the way he played he has an A and will therefore bet), he bets, I CRAI, he thinks about it, calls. He has me covered about 17:15.
River came a 6.
I don't have the HH handy since I quit the app as soon as this happened. I'm done for today.
(this happened on a $10+1 SnG on UB. Maybe I should exclusively start to play $20+2 instead. Less donks over there.) |

And again another good call, just to get fucked up by the river again
Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)
MP2 (t1695)
MP3 (t1100)
CO (t1160)
Button (t1425)
Hero (t1730)
BB (t3200)
UTG (t1730)
UTG+1 (t1680)
MP1 (t1280)
Preflop: Hero is SB with  ,  .
UTG calls t30, UTG+1 calls t30, 2 folds, MP3 calls t30, CO calls t30, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.
Flop: (t180)  ,  ,  (6 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets t180, UTG+1 folds, MP3 calls t180, CO folds, Hero calls t180, BB folds.
Turn: (t720)  (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP3 bets t720, Hero calls t720, UTG folds.
River: (t2160)  and he rivers the motherfucking nuts
Hero checks, MP3 bets t170 (All-In), Hero calls t170. have to call, pot comitted + pot odds
Final Pot: t2500
Results in white below:
Hero has 6h 5h (straight, nine high).
MP3 has 9d 8d (full house, nines full of eights).
Outcome: MP3 wins t2500.
Even when I get lucky I get fucked. This HH in specific, for whatever reason, the UB client wouldn't allow me to copy it. But I showed UB who's boss and copied it anyway:
My stats for the game. as you can see, I've been really tight, but still had to fold my premium unconnected hands.
I think I'll go back to my more passive play early. It works much better for me.
Basically, this sums up today. This same shit, over and over again.
My God. |

Today I bubbled 4 times. How is that for a personal record?
Anyway, notes:
AK= no good. Fold to allin reraise.
Two Pair= no good. fold to two overcards.
And again I'm hit by 5-outers and the like. Time for a break. |

My stats were:
Showdown Win% 55.6
Dropped down to
40.7
This is a huge leak. I'm overplaying, and showing down weak hands alot of the time.
Basically, I have to learn to get away from hands. Even more than I already do. And get back to the way I was playing.
That is, play the situation, not the cards. |

In other news:
I made a (more or less) triomphant return to ring games.
However, even here people hit flushes agains me on the river every single time.
If you are in a hand against me chasing a fucking flush, get all your chips in 'cause it will hit the river. Always. Without fail.
Still, I lost about $60 playing SnG's today, but made about $60 playing cash.
Break-even is better than losing. Oh well. |

Ultimate history is probably the single most annoying thing in the known universe. Why can't UB offer some sort of decent HH thing, kinda like PS does?
Brainless chimps. |

Up till now, I used to post a lot of hands on these boards for review. Tnx all at FTR for this help.
From now on, I'll only post, say, weekly. I've found my concentration lags a lot when I instapost like this.
Of course, when concentration lags, it means decreased profit, or even (gasp!) losses.
Also, I'll be withdrawing some cash to put internet at home.
This "uni-yard hustling" thing is starting to get the best of me. |
