Rant

Recently I've been playing the freerolls over at XXXXX one of the off shoots of XXXXXXX. Before you say it yes I realize everyone has something bad to say about bet online but there just isn't much I can do about where freerolls are available to US citizens.

Here's the rant.

After a good 30-45 min of tight play blinds are 150/75 and it's time to start shoving with roughly a 12bb stack. My table image is super tight playing only the best of hands. Finally after a lot of folds UDG A10s I shove all in everyone folds as expected. Next hand in the BB AA I shove again. The large stack to my left not only calls but re raised 2x another guy shoves large stack calls again. What did he have you say 36s.

Not only is this some kind if insane BS he actually rivers a set of 6's.

These are the kind of hands I've been losing to for about 1 month of playing at Sportsbetting. Proper play is not rewarded at this site.

Also been playing freerolls @ america's online, carbon poker, and jucy stakes all pretty much the same except SB is the worst donk fest ever.

The only success I've actually had is winning one step 3 fun step @ carbon poker. Which is now gone because I didn't realize some tournaments offer tickets and entries into other tournament instead of cash prizes. Ended up winning the ticket but not the resulting tournament such is my luck.

I think you're trying to trick us, aces can't lose if you get them in preflop.

when does BB get to shove preflop before anyone else has played? Think some of the action/details are missing in that story. Also , are you ranting about losing the hand or that a terrible player stacks off with complete junk that you would win the hand 80% of the time with. If its the former get over it , if its the latter its time to think about what you expect from poker.

lol ImSavy , there are CHEATERZ in online poker i think ! and the site has prob been hacked (ok that was paranoid). or the guy is a psycic or a psyco bad luck mate!

bloop bloop blah bong wong treep noop

It's play like that at freerolls which will provide you with a bankroll to move away from them - embrace the shit play and variance and laugh about it, otherwise poker isn't for you.

This. If you can't control tilt in situations where you literally have nothing to lose then you'll never survive when your money is on the line.

The best way to look at it is this. Let's say you win an allin with AKs vs AQo, You expect to win as you have a dominating hand, and you do, for a $20 pot. Your equity was 75%, so you only 'deserved' $15 of it, while you robbed the other guy of $5 of his equity. If you play enough, this will even out. Sometimes you get a bad beat, but it's basically only paying back for the equity you stole when you won hands, when you were ahead or sucked out yourself.
