The Calling Stations are Getting the Best of Me
Look at these pieces of crap....
PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is CO with Ks, Kc.
2 folds, UTG+2 raises, 3 folds, Hero 3-bets, Douchebag calls, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG+2 calls.
Now I figure that my 3-bet will eliminate anybody but your big Broadways (AK, AQ, AJ), and your big pairs (AA-TT)...
Flop: (12.50 SB) 9h, Td, 3s (4 players)
BB checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero bets, Douchebag calls, BB calls, UTG+2 folds.
My only fear here is someone slowplaying AA or TT.
Turn: (7.75 BB) 7s (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Douchebag calls, BB calls.
In limit, you can't make up missing that many bets, so whomever is still in is drawing.
River: (10.75 BB) As (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Douchebag calls, BB folds.
I figure I have to have the hand won here.
Final Pot: 12.75 BB
Results in white below:
Hero has Ks Kc (one pair, kings).
Douchebag has Tc 9c (two pair, tens and nines).
What the f*%$? He called 3 friggin' bets with T9s?
Outcome: Douchebag wins 12.75 BB.
...after this one...
PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is Button with Jc, Ad.
5 folds, Douchebag calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 2 folds, Douchebag calls.
Flop: (5.50 SB) Ah, 5c, Kh (2 players)
Douchebag bets, Hero raises, Douchebag 3-bets, Hero calls.
All I fear here is AA, KK, AK, or AQ.
Turn: (5.75 BB) 8d (2 players)
Douchebag bets, Hero calls.
Let me go weak tight here...Maybe he has something.
River: (7.75 BB) 5h (2 players)
Douchebag bets $2 (All-In), Hero calls.
I feel I have a read, that he doesn't have those hands, and all he has in $2, so let me call him.
Final Pot: 9.75 BB
Results in white below:
Douchebag has Th 8h (flush, ace high).
Again, WTF? 3-bets a flop with T8s? Bets a weak draw? My baby Jebus, the aquarium is most definitely full. These guys SUCK. But they keep winning money from me!
Hero has Jc Ad (two pair, aces and fives).
Outcome: Douchebag wins 9.75 BB.
At least he wasn't weak tight...I just can't believe he's betting such a weak draw, especially against somebody who is just known for the stop n'go, and sucking every penny out of his opponents. He obviously doesn't use Poker Tracker, and damn sure never read the Guide.
I really believe now that WSOP time brings out every idiot who ever watched poker on TV. And of course, 'cause Negreanu played T8s for a raise, it's good for these superstars too. I gave up on Ultimate Bet, after losing $85 on the site in my bonus quest. I reviewed my big losses in Tracker , and I lost $28.75 with set over set, $11.30 with flopped top two pair against turned set (AK vs. QQ), and other amounts in similar situations. It's just a matter of running cold, and the fish simply drawing out. But I honestly have never seen players playing more garbage hands than I do now. For raises, limps, betting the house on a flush draw, it doesn't matter. The cards also seem to constantly reward this horrendous play as well. While I know that superior play will win out, it hurts that for stretches, it seems like the poker gods forget the solid player. Maybe it's just their way of keeping the fish playing long enough or making them think they're good enough to pay back the solid players. C'est la vie (again).
