sucked out again

[MovingFlea]

I've been grinding a lot, but I can't handle this anymore. I'm playing differently now. That's how you know its time to take a break. So no moar funny suck out pictures, at least not in the same volume.

For anyone else that is going through the same thing, try to focus moar on other things in your life. Poker just isn't worth being your 1st priority. It really works best as a second income or as a hobby. Too much variance and uncertainty.

Just a desperate short stack shove from me with the AQ


Raised from the button, got minraised. Made the call along with the SB. Pre flop raiser bets (how predictable). So I reraise knowing he doesn't have squat, I have a straight draw and two overs. but the SB who has been playing passively the whole time, actually has a hand, so I'm screwed.

I made a bad call here, I had enough BB to fold, but I'm still a bit new to deep stack tournament poker. I'm used to playing more shallow, where you would never fold an overpair. Shallower SnG are my specialty. Lesson learned.



I didin't want to call that river bet (I had a suspicion he had me when the turn card was laid down). but I had a huge, huge stack, and he was a shortstack. What a shortstack was doing calling a raise with T9o is beyond me.

o nvm i read op wrong. gonna edit post again with my new thoughts

1st hand: standard

2nd hand: fold pre, utg is opening 3x and ur hand is awful against his opening range. as played, i like ur flop bet. turn um pot is ~2080 i'm probably betting like 65% getting it in so i prefer bet/call shove > check shove > check call.

3rd hand: u played it fine tbh. idk if u had a read on the limper but ur sizing looked way too big. u should prolly make it like 3.5x if hes limping. however if u think he's limp calling ur 5x in the sb then it's fine. ur flop bet is waaaaay too big. pot is 330 u should be betting 65% on a semi wet board like that. as played, u should get it in because ur opponent has ALOT of Jx hands and draws that he's willing to get it in. i'm also guessing this is a $1 tourney so it's certainly likely. plus remember he can re-enter if he busts.

4th hand: 19bbs make ur sizing on the button to 2.2-2.5x, 3x is way too big. once sb flats ur btn open and BB 3bets u to 300->500 there are more than enough chips in the pot to reshove.

i don't like flatting here because ur going to the flop multiway and altho u have position ur gonna miss with KQo alot that ur just losing 5bbs most of the time. so ur option preflop is either shove (which i would DEFINITELY do unless u have a definite read on ur opp that hes capable of 3betting u small btn vs BB with a narrow range), or fold. as played, u need to FOLD postflop if ur opp doesn't cbet often. btw, if u think he doesn't have squat when he 3bets u then why not shove?

It's still rubbish. The whole bloody week has been like this, these are just a couple days worth. I put a new one up, KK loses to two hands at the same time. Its bollocks!

You understood me right? I tried to sound as british as possible.

happens to the best of us!! nothing u can do but know that u got your chips in and played it right! poker can be brutal and frustrating!!

Yeah... when donkey poker takes over you wind up sucked out about 25% of the time.... don't let anyone take you all in unless you know you got the nuts... or guess what.... you're gonna wind up eventually sucked again

You just gotta roll the bad with the good. I hate bad beats but that's why it is called gambling.

It happens sometimes. We all make a bad call or move when at the table lots of times.
