Hi my name is Mike.I am new to this forum and so not sure if this is the right place for this,and so if it isnt,tell me where to go and I go post this there.
I have copied and pasted this post from leggopoker,because its only been viewed like 10 times and not replied to in the last 1-3 days,so I am gona post this here if this is the right forum section for this.


I have been playing for 5 years now.I made a small $25 to $50 dollar deposit,but hand bad bankroll management and went bust.And then after that the USA and Washington State made playing poker online for real money into a class c felony,but still legal to play in freerolls and use money from that to play online.


My record,and this is not to brag,is that at local casino's in spokane WA,USA, I have played in 50 $12 buy in 75 player tourneys 25/50 starting blinds,13-15 min blind levels.
17 final tables 13 cashes.Biggest Cash Northern Quest Casino: $35 dollar buy in 100 dollars,tie and equal chop for 1st place for $700


Online.6000 player 2004 vegas trip 20k main event promo freeroll top 2 finishers win prize finished 3rd place 1 spot shy of winning main event seat 20k trip to vegas.


4000 player round 2 250k promo freeroll at UBnet finished 14th place after getting bad beated 8 times in row out in 23 hands 5 spots shy of final table spot on TV playing for chance to win 250k.


4000 player round 2 trip to Aruba promo freeroll at UBnet.chip leader 500k all in preflop QQ,I 400k chips call all in AA,out I go in 10th place 1 spot shy of final table TV spot to play for chance to win trip to aruba.


Won 12000 man round 1 2000 dollar hubble freeroll at Poker stars.


Cashed in Bodog freeroll 2 times over last month.


Cashed in Fulltilt Poker $100 freeroll. 2 times Cashed in Absolute poker's $50 freeroll. 2 times.


Finished in top 20 Qualified for round 2 of 250k promo freeroll at Cake Poker 2 days ago,round 2 to be held this saturday.


finished in top 2 of 360 play poker after dark round 1 freerolls to qualify for round 2 of poker after dark promo freeroll series about 13 times.Qualified for round 3 1 time.


The reason why I posted how I have done over the last 4 years,is that I have come oh so very close,because of some of the most horrific donk bad beats that I have taken,that has kept me oh so very close and short of winning big time money.


Now some people suggest that its just extreme murphy of poker bad luck and variance that is to blame for this,and some suggest that it was bad play responsible.
I do have flaws or leaks in my game.They include:I sometimes take unnecessary risk and chances,I sometimes overanalyze,I sometimes play to many suited connectors,etc.


So to test to see if this is bad luck or bad play etc,I have devised an experiment.And this is that when I play in any poker game or tourney or session.I have to report the results on it thru hand histories.There is no skipping any game,if I play a game that goes bad and I play bad,no matter how embarrassing it might be,I still have to immediatly report the results in HH form here in this thread or topic.


The point of this is that,if I go on a bad run,this will show whether it is because of bad play,or bad luck,or both,and if I go on a good run,this will show whether it is good play,or good luck or bad play and good luck etc.


Now some ground rules.If people want to post comments in response to this fine,but please make it constructive comments and understand that I or anyone else may agree or disagree,and may listen or not listen,and may apply or not apply what or if anything is said in response.If any 2 people or more disagree with each other,please dont fight etc.


Also please dont troll or flame.I dont want to hear someone say something like this for example:"Your the stupidest most moronic most idiotic player in the history of poker,because you stupidly pushed yor AK all in preflop and so u deserve to have yor AK called and beat by 72 u dumbass".


Also if anyone want to try the same experiment as me,and or want to post Hand histories,they can if they want to.


To start off this thread I will post the results to the 250k promo freeroll at Cake poker I qualified for 2 days ago by finishing in top 20.Also I am gona play in the bodog poker $500 freeroll soon.


hope this is in the right place,if not please move it or I will move it.


Hope this is of interest to u all.

Limper inner never ever raiser nearly got punished big for not raising.But the donk will probably do it again next time and not learn.


And then these 2 hands got me knocked out again thanks again to limper inner never ever raiser's who limp in and dont raise on a extremely tight a s s table,and havent learned that the only appropiate time to limp in and not raise with a good hand is when on a hyper aggressive table.

Then out I go bad beat once in tourney,overflushed by limp in no raise idiots.And beat out by limp in no raise idiots.


While I still think I played ok during this tourney,I think I should have considered the possibility that this tourney had more than 1 limper inner never raiser who limps in and doesnt raise on tight a s s tables where everyone can limp in behind them and outflop beat them,after I took the first or 2nd beat at the hands of the limp in never raisers.
And so after the first 2 beats at the hands of these idiots I probably took 2 many unnecessary risk,which is one of my weaknesses.


Hopefully next time I wont have this problem with these idiots.

Mike D H

At bodog which cant save HH's,so dont have them.I got donkbadbeated out,because I was shotstacked card dead,and so big donk stack called my pocket 10's all in preflop with 72 type cards and of course sucked out.


Then I played the Omaha High round 1 5000 player $2000 round 1 freeroll tourney,at poker stars,for some reason it hasnt been saving hand history,even tho the option is enabled.I only have 3 HH's for that site,and they are limit omaha not the NL omaha high tourney I played in.


I got donk bad beated 6 times in the tourney by donks who would call my big huge giant preflop bets and the rare all in preflop with any 2 6 9 Q all of same suit crap.I was pushing hands like KKJJ double suited,and it seemed like half the time I double or trippled up and the other half of time got sucked out on.So I went out in top 400 or so when the blinds were 800/1600.


Then At Cake poker:I went all in preflop on pocket 8's shortstacked in the $1000 dollar satelite by big stack donk with 10 8 off,donk makes full house 10's full of 8's on the river.

So the last 3 or 4 tourneys I have played in I have been donk beat out.

Mike D H

I got beat out early when I called all in preflop against QQ with KK,and QQ flopped 4 of kind Q's to knock me out of the freeroll into millions gold chip giveaway at Cake Poker.

Thats 5 tourneys in a row that I have been bad beated out.

yet another bad run of bad murphy of poker bad luck.

Well I am owed some good luck,so maybe that will kick in tommorrow when I play in the round 2 semi final of the 250k promo freeroll,there is 1 qualifying spot for the 3rd and final big money round for each and every 200 dollars in the prize pool.Right now there are 50 qualifying spots.


Mike D H

Ok thats the last of the post from leggo poker.

the rest of the posts that me and others that will be posted here will be current from here.


Mike DH

great posts dude. i didn't read any of them, but they look good.

nh, gg.

fu.

And nobody gives a flying "blank bleep" about a troll and flamer like u either.

You obviously didnt read the first post in this thread.


"Now some ground rules.If people want to post comments in response to this fine,but please make it constructive comments and understand that I or anyone else may agree or disagree,and may listen or not listen,and may apply or not apply what or if anything is said in response.If any 2 people or more disagree with each other,please dont fight etc.


Also please dont troll or flame.I dont want to hear someone say something like this for example:"Your the stupidest most moronic most idiotic player in the history of poker,because you stupidly pushed yor AK all in preflop and so u deserve to have yor AK called and beat by 72 u dumbass".


This makes it clear that trollers and flamers are not wanted in this thread.



""Now some people suggest that its just extreme murphy of poker bad luck and variance that is to blame for this,and some suggest that it was bad play responsible.
I do have flaws or leaks in my game.They include:I sometimes take unnecessary risk and chances,I sometimes overanalyze,I sometimes play to many suited connectors,etc.


So to test to see if this is bad luck or bad play etc,I have devised an experiment.And this is that when I play in any poker game or tourney or session.I have to report the results on it thru hand histories.There is no skipping any game,if I play a game that goes bad and I play bad,no matter how embarrassing it might be,I still have to immediatly report the results in HH form here in this thread or topic.


The point of this is that,if I go on a bad run,this will show whether it is because of bad play,or bad luck,or both,and if I go on a good run,this will show whether it is good play,or good luck or bad play and good luck etc.""



This says the purpose of this thread is to do an experiment,its not to toot my horn or brag.Also if u dont care about other people and me then your in the wrong section of the forum.



Also this thread topic is also for other people who want to try the same experiment as me,if they want,and that want to post HH's,if they want,and that want to make constructive comments about their own game,others game,and my game,if they want.


And so this thread and topic is just as much for other people if they want,and not just for me.



The comment u made wasnt constructive,and was a trollistic flaming comment,if u cant make a constructive comment and cant stop make trollistic comments,then dont post here.


If u have a problem with this then leave and go somewhere else.


And if u have a problem with this,me and others can go get the admins,and mods to deal with u,since trolling and flaming is a form of harrassment,and harrassment is against the terms of service and of use for this forum.

hi mike

tl;dr

Definitely not in the right place... try MTT?

Hand converter, etc.

Also, congrats on having most posts by OP in a single thread. 7 out of 12, but I think you can do better.

hi mike


Also, welcome to the forums.
Today 07:35 AM


Thanks guys


and welcome to this thread.


Definitely not in the right place... try MTT?



Well the forum section name said bad beats and variance,and that this section was a place where players can brag,or whine,or tell stories of how they are doing.


And so since the purpose of this thread topic is to do experiment to test to see if bad runs or good runs is the result of variance,or good play and bad play,then since this forum sections is also about variance,then I think this topic or thread is in the right place.But hey if its not,It would get deleted blocked locked or moved to the right place or I would be told to move it to the right place,and I would get 20 infraction points,even tho I am new.



Hand converter, etc.



I have the HH converter from leggopoker and universal replayer,but whenever I goto convert a HH,I get a error message that says No hand history detected and no valid hand in HH file.The admins and mods at leggo poker are looking into the problem now,so hopefully I will be able to convert HH's

wtf

On a scale of 1 to 10... how old would you say you are?

Im probobly the only one who actually read ur hands, and im not gonna lie u lose because ur only play, at every blind level, is to shove all in. You even called urself short stacked with 1500 chips @ 25/50. Learn to play post-flop or ur pretty much just gonna spend the rest of ur life hoping AJ is the best hand out there, and if its not, u lose.

Dont know if u are trolling or flaming,but if u are,its not wanted here,and if u are,what age are u behaving like?If you are not trolling and flaming,why what where does yor comment have to do with this topic or thread?

But to answer yor comment.If 1 to a 100 years were likened to a scale of 1-10,then every 10 years out of 100 would be a +1 on scale of 1-10.Thus since I am 37 years old,I would be a 3.7 on scale of 1-10.

Now lets try to stay on topic of this forum section and of this topic thread.

maybe you would get more intelligable and helpful responses if yoy compounded your post.... im a pretty patient guy when it comes to reading posts... but yours is just giving me a headache... plus PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use a HH converter and read the FAQ of how to post!!!!!

On a scale of 1-10, with 9 being the lowest acceptable answer, how much did your Mother drink for those 9 months?

Is op REALLY going to do this ?

REALLY ?

You are assuming based on only seeing 4 HH's and not seeing the 3000 other Hands that I have played in those tourneys.Also u have skimmed the HH's and only see those times that I have pushed all in preflop and not the times I have raised then saw the flop,and proceed from there.


What u are not seeing are all the times I have seen played the flop.Also when u only have 25 to 30 BB's while that is not very short stacked it is technically considered shortstacked.And when I get tech barely shortstacked,in addition to playing seeing the flop,I pick spots with hands like A 10 to A K and pocket 77's to AA in late position to cutoff to button to blinds where I can push all in preflop,pick up a small pot,if everyone folds,and that if get called there is like a 75 to 85% chance I still have the best hand,and have good chance to double up.And if everyone folds,I show A 10 and I show that I wont wait for AA to go all in preflop.So that when I do go all in with a monster hand preflop,there is a better chance that someone will call and double me up.


The reason to do this,is that if u are not able to get chips thru playin the flop,and yor stack stays the same,but the blinds go up,eventually u get to a spot where its to costly to limp in or raise to see the flop,and that the only move u have is all in or fold.And then when this happens,and u wait for a monster hand to do that,u get shorter and shorter stacked vs the blinds that u then become a 7 times the BB stack,u go all in preflop with AA,and u get called by 6 callers,and out u go.Thats why in addition to playing the flop,I look to cautiously carefully pick spots to push KQ A10 thru AK and 66 thru AA all in to either not get called pick up some pots or get called by lesser hands and get doubled up,and to not get called and show u pushed KQ on the blinds all in preflop,so that u loosen up the table,so that someone calls my KK all in preflop and doubles me up.And I do this process to avoid getting to shortstacked called by 6 players and beat out.


Also

"Learn to play post-flop or ur pretty much just gonna spend the rest of ur life hoping AJ is the best hand out there, and if its not, u lose."


This comment of yors assumes I am getting called by the better hands and thats the reason why I am losing.That assumption is wrong.I have been getting my chips in with the best hand against a lesser hand most of the time.Thats why on average I take 2 to 4 bad beats per tourney while only giving out 1.25 bad beats per tourny.Whats really been happening is that I push A 10 all in preflop,I get called by KQ and KQ sucks out and wins,or I go all in preflop with AQ,and I get called by A10 and A10 bad beats me,or I go all in preflop with AK and get called by AQ and AQ bad beats me.Or I go all in preflop with JJ,and KJ badbeats me,or I go all in preflop with QQ,and pocket 10's bad beat me,or I go all in preflop with KK,and get called with QQ,and QQ bad beats me by sucking out making 4 of kind Q's.


So thats getting my chips in with the best hands,and getting bad beated.Thats not like u errantly say I am doing,thats not going all in preflop with the worst hand and losing.What yor saying is that if I push the best hand all in that there is no possible way its the best hand,and thus I am hoping it is the best,and that yor assuming it is worst hand,and that if it is,I lose.


What u should be saying:Yor hoping AJ thru AK and 77 thru AA is the best hand out there,because its likely to be,and if is,u win.Thats what u should be saying because its true.


And I know yor kind of ilk.When a player pushes all in preflop with AQ AK JJ QQ KK and gets called by a lesser hand that then sucks out and bad beats it.Yor the type of player I used in my example.


You say:"That wasnt a bad beat,If yor gona push all in preflop,u deserve,to get called and beat by a lesser hand,because u shouldnt be pushing all in preflop at all period.


Players like u almost never ever push all in preflop no matter what,and think all play should take place in and during,and after the flop.In other words yor a FLOPPER player.And u forget that game is NO LIMIT as in ALL IN Hold Em.
That sometimes its good to go all in preflop.And anybody who doesnt play like you and who goes all in preflop is a stupid player.


Also u choose or chose to ignore the HH of how I finished in the top 20 and qualified and won a 40 dollar seat into round 2 of the 250k promo freeroll at Cake Poker I will be playing in on saturday.


In that HH I raise J 10 4 x BB on the BB and got called.I checked.Then when I had top pair of J's and flush draw,on turn,and since the other players checked,I bet 30k,2 called.Then the river made my flush.On river I bet 12k 1 calls 1 folds.On showdown I win 95k,that sealed the deal,because I now had 170K which should and was good enough to qualify.


But I dont ever play or see the flop and push all in preflop all the time,at least according to you.


The bottom line is that yor one of these players who when a player takes a real bonified bad beat,and goes gets bad beated out of a few tourneys,instead of blaming the donks who donk beat the player out,instead of blaming the cards that allowed the donk to suck out,instead of blaming variance and bad luck,you wrongly say that oh its yor fault,yor a bad player,u suck.


Well if I am such a sucky bad player because I have been donk bad beated out of a few tourneys,and yor such a good player,u read my accomplishments,and lets see u get even half as close as I have to playing on TV for big time(as in millions of dollars)money.And the ONLY reason why I have come up oh so bery short of doing that,is because I called all in preflop with AA and got beat by QQ that sucked out and made trips.


Also lets see you play in 50 tourneys at casino's and reach the final table 17 times and cash 13 times.Oh and if u dont believe me,I can put u in touch with the Poker room manager at Big Daddy's casino in spokane WA who will verify to u everything I am saying.Or the poker room manager at ringo's casino.or the poker room manager at Northern Quest casino.


But I am such a bad sucky player,according to u.

I already said in previous post that I have been having problems getting leggo and other converters to convert my HH files and that the leggo admin and mods were working on the problem errors or glitches.
