Getting an earful again.

I understand the frustration of you losing with aces and you are getting critisized badly for your play...perfect situation for someone to feel bitter toward these people. But no where in your long post did you make valid arguments to defend yourself.

You made a couple very key mistakes in this hand that you need to realize and learn from rather than defend. Firstly, is raising the minimum. You need to bet with reason. What are you trying to impress upon your opponents with this kind of raise, and how do you feel this will benefit you later in the hand? Put in a stronger bet! the blinds are small and look at this buy-in, you will get callers! Raise to build the pot so you can take it on the flop.

Secondly, you misplayed the turn. Your bet on the flop was good, people on the draw were paying. But on the turn you slowed down...You impressed a bluff with overcards and dont want to collect when you mislead them? not only that, you are letting potential chasers chase cheaply. That is very dangerous, now going into the river you are not getting paid for broken chases, you are blind as to what they hold and have no more than a pair! Thats not where you want to be.

You let yourself get taken, and not only this you are guilty of a an even bigger mistake than the previous two. You blamed on something other than yourself. That will destroy a poker player. ALWAYS look to yourself first because thats the only factor you have direct control over.



I wrote an article on Pocket Aces not to long ago. I think you should give it a read over and see if there isn't anything you would like to change about your play with it.

Pocket Aces


You don't have to like me, this forums, your opponents, or my article, but free advice is worth the price you pay. I really believe this will open your mind up.

Sounds good until someone checks and the user in question (if the two of you are in fact the same person) and find that MiamiNole68 has never played a sng over $10

lol, okay cowboy. I never intended to defend my play, but since you think that is what the purpose of my post was I guess I'll tell you my thought process. It was the first time that I have minraise w/ aces pre when there was no ante involved. It was clearly a bad play, and i really didn't care at the time. Your analysis of the turn I generally agree with, however, call me crazy or w/e but after betting 5/6 of the pot on the flop and having 2 callers, something told me I was beat (intuition I guess). In checking the turn I gave up on the hand, and in doing so should have folded to any river bet, but I made a crying call for reasons stated in my previous post.

Fink!!!!!!!! or should I say Dick Tracey, you caught me red handed!!! Actually you didn't retard. I started playing regularly on stars in Oct. and had $100 in my account. Obv w/ that bankroll I'm going to be grinding out a ton of low limit SNGs and after about 800 SNGs and some good results in the 4.40s last Sunday I was at ~1300$. I was finally bankrolled to move up, but I've only played one night (the one in the OP). And that night I played about 4 $10 SNGs and 4 $20 SNGs, along with the P5s blowout private tourney. Now Fink, when you are viewing a small bar graph on a computer screen it will be hard to see the bar that represents 4 games because 800 is so much larger, but believe me its there!! I really hope my detailed explanation of my situation and this difficult concept will sink into that thick scull of yours...if not then I give up.

i think that mr miamis post was a ridiculous waste of a post and the chances of someone signing up to a forum with a hh posted with his s/n is very slim...but either way its funny how he knit picked at typos and what may sound unsatisfying to him b/c it was about his play and very rookie like play at that..where as when i started i use to wonder why ppl folded hands like j10s and a5s(this is where you can assume that the s is for suited) thinking that it was good enough starting hands when its actually not....now when he is more experienced he would probably look at this post and realize the ppl who criticized his play has a point ....by the way AAs= ACEs...i have to agree with cowboy all the way when you are on the defensive it will cause your play to gradually decline until you realize what YOU ARE doing wrong and why you are not seeing profit in the long run.....welcome to the forum and hope your next post would not be as bitter towards the forum..one

Seems the users recent results shows the $4 180man SNG in question as the only SNG that user MiamiNole68 played that day (or since) Simple answers are so much easier.

800 SitnGo's in a month...that's some hours...I think I'd have to start calling them SitnSits.

lol you fucking idiot, I said it was a bad play! Furthermore, in the two long posts that I made I pointed out one typo (AAs) and it represented a very small portion of my 2 posts. Furtherfurthermore, lol @ more experienced, you are so clueless.

until you realize what YOU ARE doing wrong and why you are not seeing profit in the long run

hmmm, I am currently building a bankroll from less than $200 for the 4th time. The other 3 times (on UB and Party), I cashed out for 11k, 15k, and 9k. I guess being up 35k in the past 2 years equals a losing player in your book. Thanks for the input.

Fink, hmmm, I guess you are right, I might have been playing .50/1 NL??? Or used my roommates name after I got knocked out of the tourney. Either way, I have played SNGs over $10 under that name. And after these next few weeks where I'm going to be real busy w/ a new job and school I will be playing plenty more, and be on my way to another 10k bankroll (hopefully). w/e the only reason why I posted here at all is because the advice that people were giving tarheel, who seems like he is learning, was so horrible. Actually, keep doing it...you guys (no not specifically, don't get your panties in a bunch) have paid for my car, college, and countless other things.

not really, when I was playing the 1.75s, 3.40s, and 6.50s I was 16-24 tabling 1-3 sessions a day which took about a hour each. Played about 800 in 20 days, for an avg. of 2 hours a day.

Sonny, fuck your shoes
