pain of knowing that i came so close - Page 3 - MTT Poker Strategy

After BF I started thinking about those tournaments again, not because of the result or how I played, but because I'll likely never get a chance to be placed in that kind of situation again. That part makes me sad because I can't just register for another like the old days

so ****in true man. after bf it really hit me the same way.

LOL what an absurd sentence. If you are massively +ev and you game select well and satellite into bigger events you will make money no doubt even if the sample size life time will be small.

Live the structures are usually way way better too and allows for more post flop play in most bigger tournaments.

Then again you are probably just a withered online reg who thinks he beats live poker massively when in reality you don't.

The only way to get over it is to have it happen about 100 more times.

After my last tournament I was like "**** this, only the ME left, I guess I'll have to take a shot at that".

I play 1C, go through with over 110k chips.

I play day 2, go through with the same stack I had. I'd have had a lot more but went for a thinnnnn river value against Corwin Cole valuecutting myself.

I play day 3, make several mistakes against Johnny Chan, making a fool of myself on tv, but still make it to day 4 with 25BB.

My day 4 table draw is awesome. It has Aguskb but he busts almost immediately. The only one I recognize is Dwyte Pilgrim and everyone else is really, really bad. There is a random asian to my left who plays like a huge spazz and bleeds chips.

20 or so to the bubble and I've got almost 40BB. Would I finally, finally get my first cash in the United States? That 20k would help a lot financially as well after dropping 30k already.

I look at pocket 9s at UTG+2. I make it a standard 2,2x. The random asian next to me, who isn't following at all, says "raise", not noticing my raise. Now that the dealer points out there's a raise, he wants to call, but the dealer says he must raise. He makes some ******ed 3x 3bet even that it's obvious he doesn't like his hand that much.

Folded to me, I shove. He thinks and calls with pocket 8s.

Flop 8 8 2.

I still have yet to cash in the United States or at the WSOP.

The Asian makes november 9.

Still hurts

Sick story.

Just keep your head up and hang in there. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. Good things happen to good people.

I've bubbled some big tournaments and it was easy to get over it until Black Friday. After BF I started thinking about those tournaments again, not because of the result or how I played, but because I'll likely never get a chance to be placed in that kind of situation again. That part makes me sad because I can't just register for another like the old days but as far as the money or glory of final tabling a big tournament, whatever. You have to run wayyyy above expectation to get to the final two tables anyway so no sense in complaining when you bust.

Unless you're playing 10ks the structures in live are very comparable to $100 freezeouts online once you factor in the large blind jumps and slow dealing speed.

As for being withered we can go HU for rollz on merge (totally fkn serious). I looked through your post count and you are a worthless person that contributes nothing to the forum but idiocy and rude comments. If you are like this irl then I truly pity you.

It could be worse. A woman could cut off your penis while you're sleeping and toss it out the window of a moving car.

It was obvious the nit had a monster and the moron swede should have just folded. Completely situational like I said before, sometimes you gotta reshove weaker hands obviously....
