Im going Weds.......300+30 7 Card hi/lo..

Im going to kill myself if i keep playing online..seriously, if my body doesnt just go into a major stroke 1st im going to get so pissed 1 night that ill eat every pill in the house and down a bottle of Tanqueray. I have to win or quit....Ive been doing it since 04 and either ive gotten exactly no better at it at all or im the unluckiest SOB ever...There can be no inbetween. Nobody i can find anywhere has played 300+ Mtts a year for 5 straight years and still cant beat a $3 sng with any kind of consistency....anybody who folds to my all-ins is an idiot who hates money cus call me with any 2 cards and you will win.....

Hey maybe this is MTT poker...maybe im supposed to make 1 final table every 3 mon//scratch that 4 months and counting........I read about 1 more 19 yr old playing for 16 months who final tables 2 majors in 1 day and i swear they'll haul me away in straight jacket...How is this even possible to go thru 2 entire tournys back top back without getting your AA cracked by J2 ????? Seriously how is this possible????? I could play the next 10 years and i cant imagine that could ever happen to me......Last night......i cant even name the site cus i dont remember, its every site i play on so it makes no differance...I fold for the entire 1st hr, no cards no nothing. The guy 2 seats to my right, who according to my Tourny Shark is a $6 player with less than 125 MTT's under his belt and is a big loser at those ...he has 18,000 chips at the break....Guys i cant remember even once in 5 years ever having 18K in the 1st hr....im sure its happened once or twice but it was so long ago i cant remember it. Now he's raising every hand, playing any 2 and busting ppl left and right. Cool as soon as i finally get a hand ill dbl up thru the SOB.....maybe 4 hands after the break i get my 1st hand KK.....he bets, i raise like 80% of my stack....he insta shoves....AA...
And look its not this 1 hand, this is my life 2 or 3 times a day everyday and i just cannot cope with it anymore..

So once again ive made a decision....Im going to Biloxi on Weds and then again about 7 days later for the Omaha hi/lo.....If i fail to make the money in neither 1 of them ......Im done. I know its 5 years worth of MTT's im whining about and now im going to put my fate in just 2 tournys but this is it, it all comes down to these 2. I have the money, I really believe in my own mind i can play these split games better than 99% of the people in the world, so unless Ivey, Brunson ,etc show up i should have the best of it. And im going to be an asshole for once in my life...if anybody in my family needs anything they better look elsewhere cus im going...If my biggest customer needs something he can look elsewhere..im going.....if my truck quits ill ride my frickin bike!!!!!!! Im going!!!!! I really dont care anymore...
If i lose them both , ill come home and spend the rest of my days hanging out at the OTB with the rest of the degenerate losers.............I would say ill die a heartbroken man but a woman took care of that 10 years ago....Maybe that was the problem all along......I just didnt have the heart....Ill have it Weds, im going in like im wearing 10 WSOP bracelets and i plan to win the whole damn thing!!!!!!!!!! :ohno: !~~~!

well.... i must say im shocked....

i cant believe im doing better... i looked 4 u on sharkscope btw... ive been playing online in pokerstars 2months only and i can honestly say... is not that complicated... my previous experience was winning $800 with a $25 deposit on carbon... and running away... and blowing $100 on FTP... in 1 day of tilt....

i honestly cant believe ur that bad, or unlucky like u said... but perhaps ur a little distraught with the objectives you are fixing on? ... maybe ur playing 2 much in a hurry.... u should avoid going all in as much as possible, and steal regularly on late positions... not with rags rags, but decent rags.... the formula has worked 4 me so far... but from time to time i do encounter an idiot or 2 who will call your 8times bb raise with 6-5 unsuited... and pick a straight on the turn after im pot comitted... good luck!

These are MTT's only and as you can see i have regressed to pre 07...You could call it a downswing but if you do then i get 3 or 4...... 3 month long downswings a year....lol
I can play anything but NL Mtts....for some reason i cannot get any consistency whatsoever in these. Time to leave em behind and find something i can do....

yeah you need to find your source... perhaps thats it... what buy ins do you usually play? $9-$12? ive played the $12 sng and theyre very solid, is easy to see good poker on these levels....

Hang in there PPP. The Omaha is Next week ? What's the buy-in/Structure? Maybe i'll take a piece, I've been running good recently, maybe it will rub off...

Well actually the 08b was last night, i had it wrong on the dates somehow...Wasnt a huge deal although i had been prepping for the 7 card. Everything was exactly like i thought. mostly bad players ..But i played horribly, folded the 2nd and 3rd nuts at least 4 times only to see evn worse hands win the pot...reraised a pot i only had a 1/4 of, etc....

Had to go didnt get time to finish...

1st off if your at The Beau and u want to eat.........LOOK ELSEWHERE !!!!!!!! Unbelievable the shit they put out there and call "fine dining".. Swear to you i have eaten as much rice as any asian anywhere. Cooked more than most as well and in all my years i have never seen anybody butcher rice like the beau rivage and then STILL send the shit out for people to eat!!!!!!! I was shocked beyond belief..
They are clearly hurting bigtime. I could have ridden a motorcycle inside from slot to slot and never hit anyone.. Their staff is minimal at best. There was 1 voucher machine working for the whole floor!!! we're talking a 20 min walk at least...I never saw 1 security guard the whole night, i did talk to 1 on the phone on the way in though. She told me the garage had a height limit of 7'0..pulled in thers a sign bigger than shit saying 6' 8". So all those scrapes u see in the concrete on the way in...are mine..lol

Anyway back to the game. 1st off the guy 2 seats to my left , BB when i had the button, won every damn hand for the 1st 15 mins..and was raising every hand every street.. Looked wildly aggr but when he turned em over he had the goods everytime...
To attack an aggr player the book says be a calling station, just call em down, well that couldnt work cus the deck was slamming him and the other option is to out aggr the aggressor....That option worked for me but i failed to recoginize it at the time mainly because thats my biggest leak, playing into aggr players. But thats what they have in these tournys and if cant make the right moves against them then they will win. I ckd raised him on a flop , he folded, i reraised him PF he folded. The guy next to him even asked him once when he limped " no raise?" and the guy pointed at me and said no he's in the pot....
So i had the opportunity to play this guy for some chips and i didnt do it. About an hour in i won a few hands, got a stack going then this beauty...Ive got Q8XX...flop Qd Jd Qx. I ck raise and get heads up with a guy who's a decent player. I figure he's got a flush draw and maybe J's full but i doubt it.. Turn is 8d...I ck raise him again and he RERAISES!! I got him now , he's hit his flush........he hit his flush alright, SOB ck raised ME on the river and turned over 9d10d...
Huge pot and that was the tilt i couldnt overcome. Short stacked the rest of the way and out in the low 30's somewhere.
I didnt do what i had to do to win. Looking at it now i see all these opportunities but today they dont count. When it did i didnt get it done.

incredible man... fucking straight flushes... u never believe they are there until you are actually crushed... same happened to me yesterday at the SCOOP 1st event....

first got crushed losing 15k of my 20k chips after the rebuy period ended

AK diamonds vs 68diamonds.... flop was 9TJ diamonds.... 7 on the turn... ouch... killed me... why not a Q??? was it too much to ask?

then i recovered to 18k chips just to see my flopped two pairs AQ get busted by a set of 4s..... definitely not my day
