How not to run hot in a $33 Rebuy ($1) rebuy-Caught in the Vortex
This was for a $33 satty coupn trny with 8 sattys and a couple $11 sattys by end of add-on period...
Ever play these cheap buy-in high value satty ticket tourneys where everyone's donking so hard it seems ez? The Vortex sucked me in. Spent $15 and nothing... heres how...
KK all in lose...
QQ all in lose...
AK over Aj in blinds...lose
..OK I did this 9x with like 6 dbl buy ins...lost them all with premiums.
I make it to the Add-on - second session and Very fkng first hand in the non donk part of this tourney and donk in SB shoves all in on me - I have 10 10 and the pot is $60k... He shows what I thought: 77.
Great right? My luck has to change - how cruel would it be for first hand after adding on $20k to lose... FLop was great, Turn even better. Then a strange thing happened. I saw Red. A red $0 and 4 red letters. LOSE. River was a 7.
That my friends was the worst tourney I had ever played in on Absolute, Full Tilt, Poker Stars, Juicy, CAKE, HOGWILD.
I got sucked into the MErge Vortex thinking my luck would change and blew more cash than I had in a year on one tourney (I play micro). I win that last hand with 10 10 over 77 and I win a $11 satty at least (that's the ragey part).
Shet happens I know. But this was the definition of redonkulous. I'm not sure what the odds are of losing 9x with premiums/ahead pf (and no one at least folding to me). I think one guy said he saw 58 sets that day on flop for winners (half joking) - then we saw 3 in a row.
