kk TID!

Warning: TL;DR brag thread below.

Well, I just had a pretty awesome weekend.

I was working nights on thursday and friday night, didn't get to sleep until 10am on saturday after having been awake since 12 on friday. Woke up 2 hours later because I had to play a live tournament, ca. 200+20 freezout. 75 entries, starting stacks 40k, blinds start at 50/100 and 45 minute levels. 75 entries.

Started well enough, got up to around 80k in ca. 3 hours, but was completely card dead the rest of the day. The tournament started at 1pm and we played till midnight, when there were 18 players left. At that time I had one of the shortest stack in the tournament I think, around 88k.

Had the brilliant idea to go out drinking with my buddies straight after, got seriously ****faced in my weakened tired state. That cause me to oversleep and I got to the tournament about 45 minutes too late, at which time my stack had been blinded down to 66k and the blinds were 2k/4k, 200 ante.

Cue the good run, and in about 3 hours I was sitting at the final table of nine players with 680k, and play my absolute best game, making a few plays, some very thin value bets and hero calls, until I'm headsup against a very solid reg, he has 2.2mill, I have 800k, blinds at 12k/24k. Thankfully HU is really not his strong side and eventually I took it down, collecting just over 4k in the process. The whole time shaking like a leaf, looking like ****, unshowered and reaking of booze.

The funny thing is a almost didn't go back on day 2, thinking there was zero chance of me getting ITM, and I was more hungover than I have ever been in my life. Thankfully, adrenalin is a pretty ****ing good cure for a hangover, and a couple of flips and All-ins woke me up enough to get a coherent thought into my head.

anyways.. I'm pretty ****ing ecstatic right now, and I'm especially proud of my play HU. What makes it even more fun is that I never play live tourneys, and pretty much never play MTT's at all. They tilt me like nothing else, just not my thing. But I decided to play this one since such deep tourneys are pretty rare around here, and a lot of my friends would be playing.

Now I'm gonna get some much needed sleep.

And to make up for the tl:dr report...

congrats man, the thought of live mtts just makes me shiver tho

Brag: 15-2 up $742 so far today after the FT crash. I hope ft crashes everyday! Maybe they changed the rng lol

edit: ended day 16-3 up $784, meh, jinxed myself. good night

79

and my mouse broke, so take that into consideration too

you cant afaik, 3k/month max

argghh ffs 50 $ reg starts timing down on FT after I kept sitting him. 768hon, epic douchebag move. Just don't sit the lobby for a little while instead of being a little bitch

EDIT: not really epic lol.... been using that word a lot lately... but deffo douchey

Its a pretty low-class thing to do. He is basically saying, You have a edge on me, so I'm going to try to take that away. Though it is within the rules to do so, it is a douche move.

If he sat the lobby first, man up and play whoever sits you. If you don't like it, move down or adjust.

Or time down annoying regs to make it not worth their time to play him...

Any decent reg, would just load up another sng and sit "douche" out of spite...

768hon? Hello Hu4rollz Imo.

nah I'm not him, but if you get your ego out of it it's a pretty effective strat for maximizing $ev..

thuglife5 confirmed worst reg of any site and any stake level. games must've been soft way back when.

Dude I'm 4 beers deep, theres no getting my ego out of anything But uhmm I just kept sitting him because he was pretty bad and very predictable, and he was multi-tabling, so his full attention wouldn't have been on the match. And the HU4rollz would be very +ev for me I think if I could get him to go for a serious side bet and first to 100 games.

Anyways 4 beers is my limit, I'm starting to play sloppy. Time for some Californication and bed.

Sick brag about not bragging.

Couldn't find the time to read your post, but you sir, obviously, are a gentleman and a scholar

Ok, when you decline 10 times and the guy waits for you to sit every time no matter how long you have been out it gets a little tilting. Ya, its a "douchy" thing to do but, I was irratated and it worked in my favor. I did it for one game and once I cooled off, I instantly switched back to playing regular.

If by waiting you mean that as soon as you declined you insta sat and then I registered, then yeah I might have waited about 30 seconds. other then that I played some other games and saw you again.

And you did it for 2 games at least. And your mother sucks pig farmers in hells version of Arkansas Just kidding. GG's.

The more you do that the more people will want to sit you and ask other people to sit you, that s the worst thing you can do since for most people playing you will require very low maintenance so they can play you on many tables and even play some other opponents at the same time.

Seriously, u are a poker god and I bow to ur $900 dollars lifetime, well actually 1100 since you wowed me with ur heads up skills.

Now thats more like it!! and you're not even counting my play chips bud Less bowing more kneeling imo

ggs anyways.

Dude its like the cardinal sin of heads up I guess? I heard it gives u time to think through hands: and I'm really high maintanence actually you can see how emotional I get after a suckout.

You are telling to someone that you feel unconfortable to play him, is there a worst way to get rid of someone hunting when you give him even more confidence that he is doing the right choice. And since you are angling a lack of rules on that matter it can get more people to sit you to punish you.

Selling action to tonight's quad entry 1k monday if anyone's interested:
