Is there anything more infuriating

When you get knocked out of a bountyhunter by some moron calling your shove with any two cards that could never be ahead in a million years.

Yes yes yes, I know, its great when you get it in way ahead but its still infuriating beyond belief when somebody consciously calls with a hand they know will be second best and luck out.

I can accept losing to people chasing draws, because there is at least some logical play in that. Or even if I am low stacked in a bounty - fine, but the stacks were about 7600 to me and 8200 to them, so they call off J4off suit - just had to vent this

Back to cash, bhunters are too tilting.

    That's how we make the moniez. You must know how silly it sounds to say 'I don't wanna play BHs anymore cos people keep getting it in bad'

    Funny that Lambert, cant quite find your quote in my original post.

    If you care to read it again, you will realise what I actually said was I am quitting btees as they put me on tilt. Tilt is never profitable for a session so its a good poker decision.

    And yes, again, I said I like them getting it in behind. But I find it tilting when losing to a player that called with a hand that they know is behind.

    For somebody that would have us believe is a good player, not so much with the comprehension hey.

    He didn't directly quote you. He put essentially what you were saying in as many words.

    Good grief, is it really that hard to understand?

    I am not saying I will not play in situations where players play bad, I am saying I will try and avoid situations that send me into hypertilt.

    I will go back to 4nl, where they play is still lolbeatable, but doesnt tilt me.

    Please read it until it goes in.

    You're right.
    I can't think of anything more infuriating in the world then losing a hand at poker.
    You were ahead as well!
    What a total moron the other player is for clicking the call button.
    He should probably get banned from the site.

    Oh yes you .......

    no, no - mustn´t get dragged into this, however tempting it looks

    FWIW ccf - doesn´t this apply to all poker - admittedly BHs on Sky are pretty bad for this but i get knocked out of so many tournaments when getting it in ahead - coolers are in the minority - and no it´s not infuriating at all - well ok a little bit - and at times a big bit but it happens so often have to get over it

    Think you got a bit of hard time there calc from some of the above and I think I know where you're coming from.

    Having said that I don't think it's infuriating losing a hand when your ahead. I think it's losing a hand when your ahead to some (insert expletive) who wins the hand calling with rubbish and then they walk away thinking to themselves "what a great call that was with 10 8 off, what a great player I am, I'm so much better than that guy I knocked out"

    Long term it's good that this guy (or gal) goes on thinking he's an absolute superstar and continues with the crazy calls but jeez sometimes it's hard not giving them a mouthful to bring them back down to earth. Just have to keep telling myself "long term this guy pays me money" and just bite my lip!

    you have already seem how costly they have been to me
    all them KK hands were from BH.

    This is such nonsense, it's called variance. It's no different when you play 4NL you will get some complete maniacs who go all in with T4o and sometimes they'll beat your AK, just the same as in an MTT.

    I'm by no means a great MTT player but I'm using me cos I can't think of any other MTT players who just play purely small MTTs.

    Here's my SS stats from Scheduled tourneys since I started on Sky...

    Lambert180
    SCHEDULED
    Count = 568
    Av Profit = £0.89
    Av Stake = £4.61
    Av ROI = 47.2%
    Profit = £505

    So I pretty much exclusively play small MTTs, shown by my average stake, usually only £5 and under MTTs, I'm not even that good an MTT player and I have (if I do say so myself) a pretty sick ROI, and a pretty decent profit from only small MTTs... AND this doesn't even take into account the fact I've probably won another £150-£200+ in heads during that time but SS doesn't count bounties.

    Given that 90% of MTTs on Sky are BHs, it's safe to assume 90% of the above volume is frmo BHs

    Profit can be made in these games BECAUSE of these bad calls, not despite them.

    What did you shove with?

    Please say j3 off, please say j3 off!

    It is annoying when you lose but hey ho there is a lobby full of tourneys just move on.
    I tilt easy trust me but at the end of the day if you are getting it in ahead you will win eventually simples

    I'm nearly certain ss does count bounties. Whether it catches them all or always has recorded them is another thing but scope player "wagwon123" (apologies for using him as example if he's reading this) but he came 31st out of 37 in tonight's £55 bh and his profit was -£36.25. Which is one bounty of £18.75

    Ah fair enough, they must have only brought this in recently cos I know they never used to count them and (maybe they do now) but they never used to count rebuys either which is why people who play bucketloads of frenzies look like they have an amazing graph.
