This is how every tournament ends for me on Full Tilt Phucker....it's true. The only thing I can think of to do is maybe utilize a stop 'n go type play from now on. I just can't get it done on FTP. I realize its painful to read about bad beats but I'm posting them anyway...it's the only way to fade them away. I also tried to get my chat banned so stay tuned for no words from me in any BBT tourneys...
Another thing I can't understand is how someone can win multiple 28K's or even multiple top threes. Chad should write a book. How the eff do you do it man????....

That's where LAG players have a big advantage over us. They get chips early and can afford to lose a race or lose an 80/20 and still have chips. I have tried to play that way but haven't had much success. I have the same problem as you, we get deep but end up short stacked and our only move is all in. Then the donk big stack calls our all in w/56 and cracks our big pair. All you can do is keep getting the chips in with good hands. gl in the million
ReplyDeleteJust an observation from playing on both FT and Stars. And I've played both, tournaments and cash games, a LOT!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the percentage but the larger of the two stacks consistently winds up winning the hand, even if they are dominated pre-flop.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's a software glitch where the software is trying to eliminate the weaker of the two players to move the game along.
There are definitely patterns on both FT and Stars.
A bad beat is one thing but the consistency of them going against the larger of the two stacks is another.
