That's a reason you don't slow play AQ. And that's the beginning of a tourney too from the looks of it. I've been running bad lately. Can't hit any boards and miss all my flush draws

Wow. I was playing early and if I would've stayed in I would've flopped a J high straight, one guy flopped a Q high straight, and a guy flopped a set and turned a boat haha. Flops where everyone hits a piece is scary. Also I love pocket aces but almost hate flopping sets with them because the odds of your opponent having any piece of that is very low.. except for earlier. I flopped a set of aces, check it. He bet, I called. Check through the turn. Value bet river, he has AJ. The odds of him having a fucking ace man.. could've gotten so much more money out of that
Got short stacked. Turned top 2 pair, paid him off on river since he had a set of 6s. Next hand, get KK. AJK flop. Got distracted, didn't know how much money I had. Bet flop and turn, he put me all in on turn(only like $3). Turned a flush draw. Hit the flush on river. Fuuuck you bovada. I'm going to hit top two, run into a set then flop a set of kings and lose? Dear lord.
Ya lol it was between 40-50 for a 200 hand stretch back in the day. I still maintain that I win the least with aces when it's not my "fault" lol
Maybe it's because I 4table, but crazy shit is happening all the time. As long as you got your money in good when you did, that's all you can do. If you do that consistently, you'll emerge a winning player.
True. That's what I was telling my friend. As long as I'm not making stupid mistakes and getting my money in good, losing won't effect me as much. Just gotta get used to it. Yeah I'm done playing online. I can't imagine I'm this awful at poker. Miss every draw, every flop. People don't bluff online.. learned that the hard way. Weird how I easily go up $100 in a few sessions to going to losing $50 just that easy. I feel like I do better playing 1/2 live
Late regged the 5k guaranteed. Like late regged in the sense I started with like 15bb. Shoved here and there, won a luck one with A10 v AQ. Sitting with 45k @ 800/1600. 141 players left so I'm in the money. Edit, 87 people left. I'm at 46k. Just lost a flip with kj v a9. Have yet to get any pocket pair above 10s and been playing for 3 hours :(
I was card dead. I was literally shoving any hand I could like once every 30 minutes because that's how often I'd get a hand. Shove, steal some blinds. Maybe double up to 30bb... blind back down and do it all over again. I like playing tourneys but I never had the stack to play any hands until the end
This is what I like http://i66.tinypic.com/2njhruc.jpg
One time I was playing at the track with one of my boys and got AhKh, raised. Just us two to the flop. Flop AsKsJs. He checks, I bet, he raises, I call. Turn Ac. He bets, I raise, he re-raises and I look at him and start talking about the mistake he's making and fucking with him. He's just doing the exact same thing to me. So I end up shoving, he just can't stop laughing and flips Qs10s. He ended winning $599 for the high hand, and took the $300 I had in front of me. It was retarded because he owed me $300, so he just paid me back with the money he took literally seconds before rofl
