Uber-Bad Run (Again)

[AvatarKava]

Playing $10 SNGs... if I send over a zip of HHs is anyone capable of taking a look at them and seeing what the hell I'm doing wrong?

[vqc]

What are you running right now?

[AvatarKava]

23 straight OTM save for one 3rd place finish.

[AvatarKava]

Make that 25.

[AvatarKava]

26. I quit for the night. I zipped up all the ones that were in my HH folder (for some reason only about half are there) if anyone would be so kind.

http://www.towsonrollerhockey.com/mike/isuck.zip

Please don't confirm that I'm playing right, because if you do I'm just going to quit playing. Having runs like this once a month isn't healthy for me emotionally.

[vqc]

ILl get the HHs in a bit and get back to u. Dont worry about the bad run, it happens.

ILl get the HHs in a bit and get back to u. Dont worry about the bad run, it happens.

What I think are bad runs happen too frequently and too violently to just be variance. I have to be causing them somehow.

[Fnord]

23 straight OTM save for one 3rd place finish.

That's enough for some serious concern.

[gabe]

i pretty much just copied this from ilikeaces, but i think he's right. the way you beat these is to just abuse the blind structure. play only AK AA KK QQ early on (maybe JJ and TT for set value). if you don't get any of these, its not a problem, you should be able to make it all back and more on te bubble. start pushing in position when 100/200 blinds start, maybe at 50/100 if you are really short stacked. the key is to save as many chips as possible early on and then be really really really really really aggressive on the bubble, then carry that same aggrssion into the money.

[gabe]

ok link works, and i looked over a few. i tihnk you play too loose to start. hands like T9s, 87s, even KQo should just be folded because of the shallow stacks. also, forget raising 3x when the blinds are 100/200, just push. push with marginal hands in position, especially when smaller stacks are in the blinds. on the bubble people are just trying to fold their way ITM, so you must take advantage of this. take this hand:

You have an average hand (it doesnt suck terrible) and small stacks in the blind. This could be an easy pickup of 450 chips. Since all the chip stacks are about the same, 450 chips can be the difference between having enough chips to bust someone or someone else having enough to bust you.

[Fnord]

xWAVEx has 390 chips and 300 of those are in his blind. He should call here with any 2 and often will.

Q7s has about 50% equity vs a random hand, so you only gain chips here where the SB folds (EV +75 chips risking nearly half of his stack.) Throw in the chance of the SB waking up with a hand and I don't like a push here.

[gabe]

how many $10 party sngs have you played? this is a push.

[Fnord]

how many $10 party sngs have you played?

A few a long time ago. I wouldn't bother now because the $15+1 turbos are a MUCH better game at comperable stakes.

Are you seriously suggesting that the BB is folding here more than 5% of the time? 10%?

[Aces]

I'm on a similarly bad SNG run over about 15 SNGs. I've tried just about everything, switching to PS, moving down to lower$ SNGs, 6-man - no luck. I can see from the histories that at least half is bad play with a few more bad beats then normal thrown in.

You might try PS or some other site with a better blind structure. I'm just trying to play less and study(HH, books, FTR) more until this streak ends.

On a related note, Sexton's new poker book is almost worthless. Pretty basic stuff. It comes w/ a DVD that I haven't looked at yet, but I'm not expecting much from that either.

Hang in there...

[gabe]

Are you seriously suggesting that the BB is folding here more than 5% of the time? 10%?

I actually misread the HH to start off, but I won't stop arguing!

its +chipEV if he calls every single time, right? Q7s is a favorite against a random hand, plus if its a split pot you can still split the SB. Also, I have seen the BB fold here enough to not be surprised by it anymore.

[jmrogers7]

Hey Avatar - What ever happened to you playing the NL games at InterPoker? I remember back late last year when you were playing there and seemingly doing pretty well.

[AvatarKava]

I've recently established with myself that I can't play NL ring for a while.

I simply lose too much when I go on a bad run - it's self-fulfilling that a string of bad beats snowball into bad play for me, regardless of the level of play I'm playing against.

I pay off hands when they hit - for instance (from SportingBet the other day, .50/1):

JhQs in MP, I call a 5x raise by UTG (who has been raising every single hand for a solid half-hour) and button calls.

Flop: QdJc4c

UTG bets pot-sized and I just call, button folds.

Turn: 2d

UTG bets half the pot, this time I raise to 1.5x the pot. UTG calls.

River: 8h

UTG pushes AI for 2x the pot.

Instinct immediately tells me he has T9. He's super loose and aggressive but he won't push unless he's got the nuts or damned close to it. I call and it's confirmed.

What kills me in NL ring is that I do an excellent job of reading hands and STILL call just because I can't believe the moron called with such ridiculously bad odds. Combine that with a bad run and I usually hurt myself a lot.

I think this is the answer to your problem right here. For awhile I was doing the same thing, not laying down pocket q's preflop when I knew they had k's or aces. Knowing that someone played garbage and tripped up, etc. You Have to lay these hands down to come back and fight another day. It sucks to do it, but at least you still have chips to take back what is yours. I know exactly how you feel when you say that though.

[ZenOffsuit]

I went on a long streak of losses a few weeks ago. And i think DavSimon described it as "low level tilt". Your frustrations and fear of losing yet another game really effects your play even if you aren't aware of it. Calling that hand is a great example. So is playing too many hands early and forcing things with certain hands because 'Dammit, I am not losing another pot!"

I stopped playing online for a week and half and just studied the game, Hung out at FTR, reviewed my HHs etc. I came back so re-energized and focused and it is showing in my results recently, including live tournaments.

I was stunned by the bad run and now I am pleasantly stunned by this positive run You WILL turn it around!!

[Fnord]

its +chipEV if he calls every single time, right? Q7s is a favorite against a random hand, plus if its a split pot you can still split the SB. Also, I have seen the BB fold here enough to not be surprised by it anymore.

Factor in the chance of the SB picking up a hand and I think it's close. Probably +EV in chips but -EV in terms of money. Tourneys are weird like that.

Ok.... tourney 1:
Ill go through the rest soon if you would find this helpful; just that right now im sick and its 5am and i have work tomorrow :(

Short stacked BB, good position; push all in take the blinds. Maybe. In your shoes here I would probably think about it, realise I should push; and fold. So... I hope ya thought about it :)

Why raise 3BB? Your heavily short stacked. What are you going to do if your reraised? Your most likely dominated if anyone wakes up and plays back at you. Push all in off the bat and let them know you cant be pushed around.

2 Ranked flop. The pot is ONE THIRD of your stack. You have an ACE. He has limped in and checked the flop. Its like he is just saying, here have 200 chips. Its my gift to you. Why check it back at him and let him take it on the turn when you have shown that much weakness on the flop????? Push that flop, every time (I would say 200 chips as it looks like less of a steal).

Fold preflop. Bleeding is probably not worth it here either. 3way that 87 isnt playing anywhere near well enough to justify the 1 to 6 for three cards (not taking in to account BB aggression). Completing will put your stack down under 600; barely able to steal. Postflop well played. You gotta know that 6 didnt help his hand.

You cant afford to make this play here. Your fold equity is shot to death by their stack sizes. One of them is going to get frustrated and call with a marginal hand, and chances are its still better than yours. Youve lost nothing preflop, and at the end of the hand your still gonna be chip leader. Maybe im too passive but I just dont believe this move is worth it.

Insanely borderline for me the push/fold postflop. Really depends on your read on the opponent. I wasnt really keeping track as its harder to watch players in text. Your table image is great here tho as your getting coldcarded; he probably has nothing. A push could be the +ev.

Damn, online poker is rigged. Seriously, I liked this SnG a lot more. You played close to flawless (a few minor disagreements), were very coldcarded, not a pocket pair or premium hand as far as I can remember, and going out on a beat like this says a lot. Ill keep going later, but you should be AT LEAST breakeven if your playing them all like this.

5 way? Your getting 1 to 15 preflop here. Implied odds of hitting trips, a straight, or 2 pair on the unplayed low cards make this call well worth it. Im just about any 2 here to be honest.

Just wanted to say I agree with your play here. Your call on the flop is justified with two behind you; you dont have anywhere near enough of a read on the guy to know he will backup on the turn like that. Taking in to account the 3 ace outs and the 4 fives which would be a scare for him and an OESD for you; this is a nicely played draw as far as I can see.

Tough one? Not really sure here. I would have folded here, cause when your behind with Ax, your way behind. When your in front, its not by much. Your fairly desperate but not this desperate. But it paid off with a little luck so the game goes on.

Zero fold equity preflop. I guess its not the worst move, but those threes arent more than 51% ahead of almost any hand; again what are you going to do if its played back at you? Take the coinflip?

There arent that many overcards here. 9TK are the only ways you risk getting drawn out on (disregarding good hands). I would consider checking for information....
I think you made the right play here, but its fairly borderline; depends on your reads on kaila.

Not a great SnG all round, although not too bad either.

Interesting. Id be tempted to take a look at a flop here, but to each his own. Dont want those unnecessary reppable overcards of course. I think your position on him would make the call justifiable, but the amount of potential action behind you probably justifies the all in. A 50-50 imo.

Blind steal; your already 25 committed and there is only one player left to act preflop. You have checkraising position once the flop hits; Id call here for the 1 in 3 flop hit.

Really tough one. I think the OESD gives you the odds to push in on that turn; maybe not. Probably actually just let it go preflop and avoid the grey full stop. Or push all in on that flop.

Your already heavily short stacked. Find a place to push in rather than call in. I dont think you need to take the coinflip. Chances are skunk is calling here and you gotta know those 88 arent holding up 3way. Fold here and push in the next orbit the first time you get no action in front of you.
