Sunday Million

You had position on me and I'm not a player who is going to play back at your steal at 10/20 when I have 83 just to prove how big my balls are (please refer to your play with 47 in todays Sunday Million) You must really admire me if you tally each time I folded my blinds as a victory

You also caught 3 times in the early going against other opponents to avoid the rail. Oh wait, I forgot... you don't call lage portions of your stack on draws and/or high cards. Must have been someone else at my table

Very solid advice when you have a stack (just ask gimme or cat5 )... I believe I had 3 BBs at the time

Told you he wouldn't respond JayC... he doesn't hold anything against you so he won't belittle your advice yet what you said was too close to what I said so he won't tell you it was good advice either

If you know that I am stealing then why don't you stick up for your blinds...oh I see you had 83 nine times in a row...well then if you know that I am stealing then did you hear of the term "outplay your opponent"

Oh the blinds were only 10/20...let's see, those in red are the chips that you gave up: oh oh I see one, wait a minute I see another...yes 2 of the nine were 10 and 20 chips:

In regards to the never call or bet off all your chips with AJ...and then you call off all your chips with AJ...I see now it's conditional...well in the games that I did it...I didn't see you there hanging around and knowing what was really going on...that is unless you were hiding in the bushes trying to learn something.

You see with you it's...well things are different for me to do them, then for you to do them...I have conditions...you don't and your opponents have around the corner conditions that don't apply to you. You see with you it's...your always wrong and I'm always right!

9/0 BABY!!!

Show me where I said NEVER call off or bet all of your chips with AJ and I'll give you $50 Free money My guess is we won't hear one more word from him in this thread on that subject
Of course you are always right... thats why such a big percentage of the members who actually post here keep telling you to change your playing style

It really is amazing how a man who plays more poker than most of us (and has a professional tutor to boot) can still think he is above average when he's spent 3 years straight on a constant continuous downward spiral
Yes those are certainly amazing stats you had against me When ya gonna play me best of 7 HU for $5 a game + bragging rights? Wait, when was that? Never? Oh yeah I forgot you don't deal with the chump change (how many $2-$5 HU matches do you play a day?)

Crapshoot bud i have looked over some of ur plays in this tournament and i must say that they are atrocious. U have got to start learning to fold these small pairs and mid pairs when these players are showing u such strength postflop. U have to stop telling urself that u are getting bluffed every single time u play a pot, because this is what u are doing my friend, and its costing u big time. Taking control of the hands u play and being aggresive is great, but u must realize when u are beat, u still have the option of folding u know. I recommend that u start betting ur big hands instead of always trapping or betting small like u do. U will make more money in the long run by leading with ur big hands instead of always going into trap mode with them like u always do. U need to stop calling off ur money with these weak ass hands and just giving ur chips away bud. I know u are better than this. Lets go man!!

Very sound advice....Crapshoot its obvious you have the potential to be really good but there are some major flaws in your game, (mentioned by cat) which if you turned around would make a huge difference...try and take advice on board and not take it as a personal attack which you often do with Fink.

OK guy's now my answer:

1st off I said from the get go that I played the tourney like a donk!

One thing that got me going was Hand #17 where 1337Gamblor was punching...I knew that he didn't have anything and I had a A4o shit hand...now I felt he might have had high cards and probably a weak Ace, but stronger than mine... so I thought that I would outplay him with calls, calls, calls, re-raise:

It doesn't take much to put me on tilt, but that hand put me on tilt, even though I took it down, however it put me in a position of risking a lot of chips early with a nothing hand, so it got me riled.

That hand and that hand alone blew my logic that I never recovered from.

Hand #26 ruined my day after just going through the 1337Gambl0r fiasco. You all know about my unlucky run ins with KK...it infuriates me...every phucken time an Ace flops, or nobody has squat diddle shit and I make nothing as in my earlier KK hand. Now did I think that Thankstoo had an Ace?...yes but I felt that it was a weak Ace...and it was...so I tried to outplay him, by representing a stronger Ace, however he got lucky and prevented me from pulling it off by getting three hearts in a row at the end with flop, turn and river hearts.

I knew that losing that hand finished my day.

My fault here was not putting the petal to the metal pre-flop where Thankstoo would have folded, but after just making nothing with my earlier KK, I decided not to. You only get so many premium cards in a game.

After this hand, I gave up on the day. Hand #26 on top of hand #17 did it for me...the day is done and the only thing that I had to look forward to was beating Fink

I was about to recover from the 1337Gambl0r hand and the nothing taken in KK hand when hand #26 arrived.
