Door Crasher Diasater and GOOD FR 1K SATalite

[Dan Abnormal]

I want to thank everyone for the help. I have learned that every aspect of my game was F'd up and I have reversed and things are changing for the better. My stacks are getting higher, and I am getting farther in the Free Rolls I have entered. Here is what I've changed but I still gotta get better and the end of toruny's.

- POSITION ( I GOT IT NOW, IT HAS FINALLY CLICKED)
- QUIT LIMPING
- QUIT CHASING STRAIGHTS (I had to keep repeating this to myself)
- QUIT BETTING STUPID (But Im still feeling out not betting high enough or too much)

I just trying to keep it to basics and not trying fancy stuff and its getting me some good results.

Playing Free Roll 1K Satellite tourny TOP 7 moved on. I made top 15 and using what ya'll have told me, Not to many bad beats or suckouts, I was pretty sure I was gonna win the hands I was in. Until the wheels fell off at the end, maybe I panicked falling out top 10 with 20 left.

AT THIS POINT IN THE TOURNY - IM ABOUT 30K CHIPS everyone at table close 15K-45K

------------------------------

First bad move for me

WAS FEELING GOOD UNTIL THIS HAND. Pushed in 4800 preflop to get everyone out of hand playing early middle - I bet on flop trying not to limp and I thought I had pretty good odd here (Y/N) - Maybe I should of called here and let later position dictate to me (AHHH I SEE IT NOW) - Bet anyways, chased flush but limped turn (RIGHT OR WRONG) - and 8200 was more chips than I wanted to invest on possible trips, SHOULD I FINSHED CHASING HERE or was this DUMB PLAY

THIS ONE OVER MY HEAD - I was big blind and everyone limped in, Flop perked my interest with 2nd best pair but weak kicker - Checked flop since OOP (NOW LOOKING AT THIS and my position should I pushed all in here if I was gonna play ) or what is a GOOD Sniffer bet for the ace and if they call, how difference would the bet be if they had an Ace and if they had a J. But I guess I should of folded since I was already beat - SHOULD I BE CHASING TRIPS - I guess the bet on the turn should of told me what I needed to know but I thought my 2nd pair was good to go, but looking at it now, I told on myself and I guess I was shown mercy on the river. I think I tried to get too fancy looking back just stupid. BUt late in the tourny lots of times I see 2nd pair winning but my kicker sucked but she was concealing that ace as I was trying to conceal my J

-----------------------------

I guess I thought this was smart - ITS OVER

I didnt want to limp, I thought this was a strong hand in late position. Plus my hand was forced to all in before me. Its poker right and I needed chips but maybe this was dumb

OK THIS person pushed all in on K5s - I would of folded this was this good play on their part. My hand was stronger going wasnt it.

Very pleased with my finish - very pleased on the advice given to me and Im gonna keep grinding this thing out until I ready to move up in strategy

Maybe I should of just avoided this, that early. DO you drop pocket k's - I mean really did the river have to do that. I told them I would make my first deposit if I won money lol.

I do not understand well the hands, some times it say Hero and in same hand it say eugene and you mention the raise, so this eugene is you?.

Still some chases, getting in trouble with bad cards (you really think in push with J-3 with a Ace there?), calling all in with weak hands in a multiway pot with still 2 others to call, raising to 300 with bb in 20 (15bb raise?), if everyone fold to you only get 30 chips with your kings, why spend 300 for 30?.

[Dan Abnormal]

Yes Im Eugene shhh...... guess I didnt edit good and I guess it doesnt matter since anyone could look up these tourny results.

yea the free roll was going so well and then just bad choice after bad choice. I will learn or I will always be close but not close enough. I think Im just tired, ya'll's advice has got me playing non stop to try out these idea and they work.

We were heading towards the final, I had fallen out of top 10 after being there for over 1hr 1/2. Think I was just trying to make things happen dont know why I felt such urgency because others would of made mistakes if I didnt and I would of moved up by default. I just dont know when I need to get a lot more aggressive, I had finally fallen below 20 big blinds.

Im rambling now, Im taking a break tonight and going get going again tomorrow. These hands esp. Thanks for all the help and if you have any more ideas that maybe I should try to employ in my game, let me know.

If I run into more trouble hands or hands that I turned into troubled hands, I will add. I dont want to overhelm all the boards here, because I feel like Im starting over and I gotta make the basics second hand and then I can get some advice of where I need to get more aggressive or less

Thanks again


SORRY I just re-read your post. your talking about the door crasher disaster, since all I had to gain was 30 chips for that bet, that was stupid to go all in. I will have to start asking myself all these questions before I make bets. Damn I used to like to surf the net while playing, and now Im staring intently at each person and just waiting for the button and hope I can do some damage. All this with 3 days of advice. JUST KEEP IT COMING IM SOAKING IT IN. You know when you say I only had 30 chips to gain so why do it, justs made me even angrier at myself, I have been trying sine the 1st to get entry into one, maybe tonight I can get in another and SLOW DOWN and BREATH, maybe just sit out a few orbits
