if anyone was watching the 4/8 game earlier tho - u would have seen a certain loon playing any 2 cards and winning some before losing the lot and then more. That what is meant by 'they will lose in the long run'. Posted by phil12uk
I watched for about 90 mins and what gr8 entertainment it was,better than a good movie imo.dav

That's applicable on a cash table Phil. In tournaments, when you have what seems like an army of them, the damage they do is often fatal to your tournament chances. I know this has always applied to tournament play hence the big swings, but the sheer number of times it's happening makes most tournaments on here little more than a lottery. The player in my example HH actually went busto within 20 minutes of busting me and a number of others (he had a 42k stack after busting me and was the tournament CL) but that's no consolation to me or the players he took out with the most rediculous hands. With that kind of play he'll never make a profit let alone win a tournament so what you say applies in part. The problem is that I am meeting these guys in every tournament and they just seem to hit the 2 outer too often to make sense.
ps. I watched about an hour of that 4/8 game and it was sick.
Completely agree Al. I'm currently on my worst run in poker ever and seriously not enjoying it (guess losing money's not enjoyable lol). MTTs are a minefield and the amount of bullets to dodge is immense. Wish I could dodge some on cash though............
well, with so many good players on a major down swing( dont class myself as one, but am on a big down swing) some bug gers out there must be filling there pockets. would somone out there please post saying they have played 5 mtts and cashed in all and won 2 of them for £xxxxxx . would be nice to know good money is going to good people. my game at the moment is a bit like tigers golf " nothing wrong with my game APART from my upswing ,my down swing and my putting!!!!
I'm giving the 5k D/S a bash tonight but if it follows the same format I've encountered for the past month I'll be giving them all a miss for a while.
The usual format has been steady progress to a healthy stack then a crucial hand against an unknown, who is well behind, only for them to hit on the river and crush me....... we shall see.
Lasted an hour in D/S with no cards other than TT. Just after break I came up against the big stack with AQ against the inevitable monster 97os.
Mtts on here are a waste of time and money as far as I'm concerned. Can't compete with that in every game, so I'll bow out and go elsewhere for a time. Not a whinge, just a fact.
Its happening all too often for my liking and say whatever you want and read into it whatever you want but a bigstack can go with any 2 and hit.Constantly,i dont see variance is working here somehow.Still that is only my opinion.Gl at the tables all dav
Im new to sky but the structures on here promote loose play imo, I think on-line play is for fun in mtts its hard to profit on quick blind structures and the odd bad beat lol .
Yes getting lucky is a big part in poker as we all know and hurts when we get outdrawn etc but im sure weve all done it , tbh some on here hate the criticism but its meant to be fun i thought ..i was called an idiot for pointing out facts lol .
