At the edge of throwing in the towel

[TomtheBomb]

Khicks.

I have been playing with you a lot on the micro cash tables on the carbon network.

Under my Reefer, Aced, and Carbon accounts, and found your play to be nothing but great for cash games. Most of the time I see you with profits.

Now I have not watched you in tournaments, other than a few freerolls here and there, but as far as S&G, MTT not nearly as much.

You cannot help loosing money with good hands, but you can decide how much to loose.

Now in agreeing with your decisions the only small flaw I see is your preflop bet vs pot size.

With a pot size of around 25% of your chips prior to your (4x) raise, you have to think with two limpers early, and considerably since you are down alot in ration of chips you need to win hands without getting to showdown because you can't afford to many un lucky cards. I find shoving...preflop and just gaining a few limpers cash seems to work in the longrun. Granted your situation would not have changed. QQ would have called, and you would have lost.

Other hands that would suckout on you might fold there. As far a long term adjustment late with low chips.

OTHERWSIE AS USUAL.....you're playing fine..

I never want more than 1 on 1 with anyhand late.

thanks for the good advice and, the kind words Tom. you are the Bomb.

your right about the stack to pot size thing. sometimes i try to milk my big hands, and get burned. a shove is best sometimes. even more so in these low buy in tournaments.
were most of the players are not going to fold to a normal bet.

funny you say you play with me on carbon. i have never noticed you at the tables. but i do allways 4 table in the mini mode, and don't look at the chat that much.

playing the micro's to build my BR back up, and work on my points for there new system they have now.

GL and see you at the tables.

Like he could see my hole cards omg ,, other guy mucks , villian wins pot has 14k now .. im out .
Villian won with 1 pair deuces at the river .

Really how can you be there on the river with that hand after i reraise , and put in a good size bet on the flop ... , would he have called the all in on the turn ??? Ehm ye duh he wouldnt lay down king high on that flop if he puts me on lets say 9Q? lol insane !

i was in a tournament and 7 people away from cashing. i get dealt pocket aces and make a standard raise. i get reraised by the chip leader who has been stealing alot of pots with the bubble getting close. i reraise him then he shoves all in and i call. he has 2 3 of clubs and flops a straight flush with the ace of clubs comming out and i ended up filling up on the river with anothe 5 comming out.

I hate when the chip leaders play that way. Most of the damn time they are simply donating to the short stacks. Time after time though they play everything and get oh so lucky. I have had about the same thing happen and it burns oh so deep.

The only thing I can say is if maybe you pushed pre-flop he may have folded but then again who knows. I think you slow playing was a good move you just got totally unlucky.

If you are not having such a great run, take a break. To me, it seems that a lot your bad run is because you tend to overplay marginal hands. In order to get out of your slump, be patient and try not to play too play and too often. Don't force results, let the game come to you and the wins will result.
