i went out on a brutal suckout:
I couldn't agree more. I had already begun typing in nh, assuming I lost.
i dunno how he calls with ace-rag and no draw here, but he did, and naturally he hit 2-pair on the river.
Let's say a bad read, and a willingness to gamble helped.
My thought process was that you might have played AJ+ with a 3-bet here. I know your stack wasn't large so after the fact I understood the flat. IIRC you took the lead on the flop for 1000 and with top pair shit kicker I wasn't folding out. The jam had me wondering, if you had it or figured I'd fold out something weaker. I know you play tight and have a good understanding of my gameplay. So I was torn. Then when I considered my SPR and for less than 1/4 of my stack I could win 3/4, the decision was made. That's the gamble on my weak top pair.
I legit felt like shit after that hand, it was gross and we've all been there.
SteamTyme got me too today but with me he had a K pair with A kicker
~snip~
I had a KJ so I thought why not match his bet and the rest, I had to watch me going kicked out LOL.
I was very reserved all those time but on a sudden something happened and I gone ALL-IN. I really should not make this crazy move.
Yeah I was happier than a pig in shit there. It did help improve the gross feeling I still had.
figment nailed it when you put that bet out there I figured you were calling off anything so there was no need to slowplay it. Nothing wrong with leading out but go with a smaller sizing, in the future and keep the pot smaller so you can try and walk away later on, if you don't have the top kicker. (look at me talking about kickers)
I will no longer participate in this event.
Good luck to you guys with this series and in future series.
Efialtis, keep my 600 remaining chips for the winners.
It would be a shame to see you go. I think dealing with a "mouth" is part of the game. You either engage with them or not. You chose to be the mouth and engage with others and it can go to far. I am personally not a fan of trash talk as i think the majority of people aren't built to dish it out, or handle it. Often it just progresses to far... like it did today. It doesn't help when it's a day you just keep running into the nuts... well 2 of 3 times. I legit do hope you come back as I've enjoyed playing against you, even when I'm losing and pissy about it. I do think you both got out of hand at the table for the part I was around which was about midpoint.
Curious does SWC not have a chat block?? I rarely watch the chat on my other site but am not sure if you can just mute certain players on SWC.
Like I said. The spirit of competition. I get that people can’t handle the heat sometimes. But I’m gracious in victory and defeat. There were still 5 other runners after me and they saw my message and I said gg.
Of course this was after I added insult to injury. But the moment was heated. But ... it’s a moment.
I don't think what I saw was in the spirit of competition. Might just be the way I've always competed, but apart from lighthearted joking I like to keep my head in the game. I prefer a play style where I'd be able to without a doubt have a beer with anyone I sit down with.
The parting shot was pretty bad imo, it really makes your gg and everything after insincere.
I've had this discussion with many people since textin became the main communication for most. You can't convey emotion or intent across words. Jokes get lost and so can a well meaning message after the fact.
Congratulations @Steamtyme!
Thanks I got real lucky in a few spots and had more than my fair share of good cards. Tomorrow might be out the window for me, we'll have to see. Someone sent a message that I might have training tomorrow so who knows, might actually have to do my job at work. Woe is me.
Gratz @SteamTyme, well done. That last hand was quite weird
That it was it is the best hand of poker I will ever play. I took what he said in chat about needing to go soon as my chance on the flop to jam. Probably didn't hurt he had flopped a flush, while mine was a royal flush... daaaaamn
I did grab a screen cap and will post it here. Gotta do it from home though. The hand before I had KK and wished he had played it out but am glad they didn't.
GG everybody, I do hope we can smooth out some of the wrinkles that happened and proceed without further issue.
