Pathetic........ ffs

[Poker Orifice]

Okay so this was pretty f'n pathetic.
I'm on the bubble of two SNG's.. one's a 27plyr., the other's a $10-45man.
I'm sitting 4th of 7 in the one.. and 4th of 6 in the other.
I go to move to my 27player to FOLD.. and I accidentally 'minraise' with 42o... I'd never minraise.. never mind w 42o LOL (we're all short so it's shove/fold).
Well.. miracles of miracles.. I flop 4-2-K.. BB checks.. I put in my small remaining chips.. he calls with KK, lol.. bink..

THen this other one.. chip leader has just been a lunatic since ~12players left.. he sucked out huge to get the chip lead.. and then just went on a terror (in some cases.. sure.. abuse the bubble, but this was too much).
So..we're 7 left & he's open-shoving every single hand.

In first screenshot... this one clown who'd been limping every single hand (even at 250/500 w 14bb).. limps.. CL shoves... 2nd biggest stack calls with KK.... bink.. he's out on bubble.
Then.. he's shoving every hand.. I'm actually sitting tied for 2nd & am thinking.. I hope I get AA.. can't wait to call this clown & more than double. Sure enough, 2 hands later.. I get AA... he openshoves with 86o... bink.. out I go.. sigh... too much

Certainly feels familiar . Nothing but sympathy for you.

Hmmmm, purple on the guy that open shoves with 86o. Should I be insulted?

Last nite on FTP was just brutal. I finally quit after a drooler shoves for $9+ on K36 rainbow flop with Tc7c after calling my 4xbb raise pre. I call with AKs and he goes runner runner for the flush.

Guess I just can't compete with drunks.

was definately not your day yesterday. i feel bad that i contributed to your misery.

Yep. Been there and done that.Awfully bad luck and it always seems the big stack cannot lose with any 2 cards which is why I don,t usually like to tangle with the Big STack if i can help it.But you mention you went from 2nd to OUT in practically 2 hands.That has happened to me so often and thats whats really kills me.When i could have sat back and finished much higher.I almost wish that I don,t get dealt a JJ hand for example because i have to play it and usually get burnt.Going from 2nd to OUT really hurts.

I am in exzactly the same boat as you all lately, no matter what or where i do something someone else at the table has my number, its getting so bad i thrashed a pair of headphones the other night when i yanked them off after getting beat, and to think i used to play for stress relief but now that i been a member here and tried to actually learn and play the game properly my enjoyment has completly disappeared, so i think its back to having fun and to hell with all the virtual pros and experts out there

I know what you mean Petey.Broken a few things myself in the past,, lol. Which is why i mostly only play forum games now because I enjoy them whatever the outcome.I,d rather lose to some-one i know than a Donkey stranger in a Ring game.Many a night I don,t have forum games or sometimes I,m just not in the mood to play I watch some TV and relax.I think you have to enjoy playing to play your best with a positive attitude.When a person doesn,t enjoy playing anymore I think like any other sport it may be time to quit or in Poker take a break.

Take 'note'.. it's actually the 'darkest' purple (the one 2nd up from the bottom on the colour chart). It actually signifies a TAG as well (I have varying degrees of TAG, lol... there's TAG, marginally tighter TAG, then there's TIGHT-TAG (but also 'decent winning reg.').
