Shortly after I move tables and get 1-outed

Obviously I'm not bothered about the short stack I just need to beat the AQ and shortie has two of his outs.

Edit: I finished 48th out of 2612. KK < AQ

Good chance I would have made final table if that had held.

I'm registered for the first two SCOOP events at the weekend (Low), anyone else wanting to play them? I've been running horribly, but May is a new month

What are they and what are the buyins?

Just under 2 weeks til I'm back online and back to poker

They are $22 6-max NLHE (250kGTD), then $22 normal NLHE (500K GTD)

Good start to today - qualified for my third SCOOP event, the one with $22 Big Antes, through a $9 qualifier

Got down to the last two and I called the shortie all in with AT vs his K7, T on the flop, K on the turn, T on the river

$22? It's a bit rich for me.

Mass stakage from me if necessary.

Drumstick wrote:$22? It's a bit rich for me.

No it's not.

Here's a graph of my 16s for the last couple of days :twisted:

EV line is still going up at a fairly consistant rate though and I'm still a tiny bit above EV for the month 8-)

Are those 16s the Turbo SnGs? I just played one of those and quite liked it (came 2nd, some donkbox won).

Yep.

I just got SNGWiz so i've been playing about with it and finding spots where you can shove with any two cards. It's very interesting indeed.

THat's what those games all seem about at the end. Shoving, rather than calling off. Gotta keep your stack up. I was shoving with all sorts of shizz at the end. The donkbox shoved 32 into my K9 and got two pair though

Sick call yo :lol:

Poker is gay. All the bumhunting reg donks won't play with you if you have profit. Noticed a massive change since I started playing cash. At the start anyone would play me since I had little stats but now I am up 1k they just look and say "gg no game" or something. Everyone is a bumhunter!

This is something Patrik Antonius vents about in his recent Pokertube interview.

Well worth having on in the background to listen to.

Serves you right for not being gooseberry fool like me. 8-)

I'm running worse than I ever have before :twisted:

I'm playing well and getting it in well ahead everytime but my hands are not holding up at all.
I've already had AA < KQ all-in pre, I flop a set and other guy makes runner runner straight.
Then on another table get it in with JJ and am called by TT, they river another Ten.
Again I get it in pre with JJ and some donk calls with J9o, they make a flush.

And thats just the 5 tournies I've played today. Yetserday was just as bad.

Edit: All the saturday donks suddenly came online this afternoon and I managed to make up most of my losses

Nova's in $10.50 Knockout Turbo on PS at the moment and has managed to donk his way to $70. Could win up to $700 I think.
