I decided to play four turbos on Idiot Stars tonight.
Format: $12 180 turbo.
Start Time: 9:37 p.m
End Time: 10:31 p.m
Tournament 1:
KK< AK all in pre. Turn ace. Typical turn. That obviously crippled me. Eventually pushed with 44 all in against a calling A10. Justice by awarding me one coin flip in 50? HELL NO! FLOP ACE. Bust 44< A10 all in pre.
Tournament 2:
AJ < QK all in pre. Huge raise was not an instant call but the guy in the blind snap calls anyway. Ok Maybe I have a chance. FLOP QQ9 TURN KING.
Nice no wonder he snapped called. He must know something that I don't.
Tournament 3:
blinds 25/50
4 people limp early.. I push all in pre with AK suited. A brilliant individual snap calls 1800 with Q 10 off-suit
FLOP: (4, K, 9) (sweet I'm holding a king maybe I can win a pot)
TURN: (ACE) (wait doesn't he have an out if..........)
RIVER: (JACK)
Q-10 runner runners to make a straight on the river > AK
WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT?????? If this guy was sitting at my table in real life I have no idea how I would have stopped myself from lunging across the table and beating him with the largest object in my proximity. I actually flipped out and lost it on him. He said nothing. Classless I know, but screw this site.
Tournament 4:
AKs < QQ all in pre about 1600 with blinds still low.
BLANK BLANK BLANK BLANK BLANK
Must be really fucking nice to have a hand hold.
And then the smartest thing I've done in a while: LOGGED OUT. Those were the only four tonight thank you Stars.
This is pretty funny. The larger sample size hasn't been much different especially over the past weekend. I think I could easily turn this into a series. I've always taken a sort of pride in my ability to take misery and produce something slightly meaningful (I've already done this writing about corporate).
Look forward to an upcoming post "4 Reasons You Shouldn't Play 180 Turbos on Stars (Part II)." I can nearly guarantee this publication will be out within the next 36 hours. Next time I'm playing tournaments instead of flipping out on someone I will just ramble on about reasons. For example the tournament starts and I type: "Reasons you shouldn't play 180 SNG turbos on Stars?" Some people will probably respond bewildered, I'll probably ignore. Perhaps I will even exchange a line or two: "Will this be another reason?". Then when I get sucked out simple a "PART II REASON #2 A MASTERPIECE!"
When I get to about Part 15 maybe I can put it all in one publication and hopefully stop one individual from torturing him or herself by putting money into these horseshit tournaments. Then again I guess someone has to be winning. Maybe you will be the Stars lottery raffle chosen one, but if things come tough for you like me then I would NOT enter. Note to self, next time just buy a large glass jar for $3. Then take the remaining $45 and break into pennies. Next fill the jar with the pennies and seal tight:
Finally, LAUNCH the jar of pennies at the nearest brick wall and brace yourself for an INCREDIBLE PENNY EXPLOSION.
Net Loss: -48.00
