Poker Tourny on Full Tilt: What a bad luck run... - GoFuckYourself.com

Varius · 01-02-2008, 11:43 PM

I've been in this tourny for the past 3 hours and it's getting down to the end, 60 players left from around 800. I'm now the lowest chip holder left with 2020 while the average is 13,065 heh.

In a span of four hands, I got pocket Kings an amazing three times yet lost everytime

First, I'm big blind and everyone folded except one guy who bet like 1000, I re-raised him to 4 pushing him all in. He had pocket 4s and of course flopped his set.

Then, I score the Kings again and after my raise only one guy is left who re-raises all in. He has Q2 suited and hits his flush on the river.

Two hands later I get them again! Lost to a full house of 2s and 3s (guy had pocket 2s)

WTF....luckily I had them all covered so am still alive, on break now, but all my hard work gone to some real lousy luck

Well lets see if I can get some of that luck for my comeback now heh

I never do very well with kings. Some fucker always flops his small set.

Food luck Varius, I suspect you are going to need it :D

5 times in a row that I had KK on Full Tilt, an ace spiked on the flop. That seriously sucks.

Bad beats are part of the game.

That's crazy shit, though.

Keep ya'r eyes on prize, man.

Varius · 01-02-2008, 11:54 PM

Well I'm out

Got AT suited so pushed my 2K and change all-in from late position, one guy called with AJ offsuit.

Flop had both a Jack and a Ten in it, but then came another Jack and nothing to help me.

Wow, thats brutal, I thought for sure at least a couple of times aces would have cracked those kings. Earlier in the tourney you probably would have made a killing on those kings because I'm assuming you wouldn't have gotten called by at least 2 of those hands with hefty pre flop raises. When its short stack poker, you're unfortunately going to get loose all in calls.

Yeah, early on I was getting decent cards though so can't complain, it allowed me to build up quite a decent amount to not be completely dead on those 3 Kings losses...still I'd rather have lost to an ace than those pocket 2s especially heh.

Ah well such is poker, I'm trying to get more experience at tournaments, I'm pretty good at making profit in cash games (both online and in real life), so on the bright side everytime I lose a tourny I play a bit in a cash game and recover the buy-in easy
