i shove AA23 guy calls with A59Q flop 234

lost 37 all ins in a row never crushed mostly crushing. I do fine on all othes sites. Sucks but im thinking about withdrawing all my stars money and closing the account.
leave it for a week or two zuri, play on other sites with a view to return later.

Its what i have done since i posted about variance, and my confidence (and bankroll) are growing.

Besides if you leave i might have a chance when i go back

prove for a random game..oh and not whining so standart for 3k games, don't expect anything anymore from stars.guess im lucky to be dealt these big hands in a way.

actually having a good laugh and hope i get more of these. gathering my HH of the last x sngs i've played and prove i have a better chance getting hit by a lightning 5 days/week one year straight then what's happening on this "random" rng.

honestly zuri you should just stop now, this minute and bar yourself from stars for 24 hours minimum. then go get drunk.

you wont be doing your confidence any good at all, we've all been there mate.

Alcohol is the answer

ahaha, nah u are right. i should have taken the break 2k games ago. instead i just kept getting it in good and lost. now i hope this finally ends.
could have learned it easier i guess. even played some cashgames in between ( PLO ) and lost every hand as well

the best one there was AAKJds vs 9992 vs a complete idiot in a preflop all in for a 1200BB pot. flop 229 turn A river 2. That was the point i should have realized its non sence to just keep going.

thx guys, appreciated ur kind words.

I think we all get fed up with stars from time to time. It will turn around for you eventually zuri.

On a side not any news on the challenge?

      lolz

      I can actually beat that though. I had a guy call my river shove yesterday with 8 high on a board with no low. To be fair I think he was playing 3 of his hand cards and 'thought' he had a low straight, or at least that is the only reason I can figure for why he called me.

      Something like 6 9 j k 2, I shove with 10Qxx and get looked up by 4578, assume he was playing the 578 and didn't know he can only play 2 cards from his hand.

      Nice! What are your overall thoughts of mastahdonk and jkfocus' playing styles? (I hope neither of them reads this thread...lol)

      11-16-2011 , 02:15 PM
      I definitely have more respect for mastahdonk's game than JKs. Mastahdonk is maybe a little 2 tight pre flop at times but he is solid postflop. JK has probably made me more money than any other player. He plays 2 passive postflop and often gives away his hand strength pre flop with his raise sizing. Overall I think hes really exploitable but I definitely respect his work ethic and he seems like a nice guy, have never seen him complaining or berating at the table ever.

      I consider mastah to be the best $3.50 player out there. Both have their search on hidden, but it seems like jk mass tables $3.50s and also doesn't player the bigger stakes when traffic is low.
