[Closed] Bad SNG day

only 13BI?

thats a medium size swing. it will happen many more times in the future.

13 BI is not that much really, i hit a 70BI downswing over 3 days (half of it probably because i tilted after losing the first half)

When i first started SnGs about 3 weeks ago, i thought WOW this game is easy!

Then i thought, OMG, i suck. I can't beat this game.

Now i'm back to, ok its just variance, calm down and get it going again.

I lose 13BI when I finish my first 16table set Usually anyway ... SnGs are swingy as hell and ur gonna see SHIIIIIIIIIIEEEETLOADS of suckouts if u decide to play more than a few thousand of them. If u don't think u can get used to that, stop playing them now and focus on other forms of poker.

Another great day.

Played about 40 sng's.

9 times lost when i was ahead
AK vs K6o
AK vs KJ
QQ vs 22 (early phase, i sqz shove and the fokking monkey calls
AK vs A5
AK vs KJ (early phase, guy sqz shoves KJs for about 30bb)
AJ vs A9
TT vs QTo (I shove utg for 10bb or so and the sb calls QTo???)
KQ vs K5 (nice call)
AT vs A9

8 flips
33 vs QJo (who calls that?)
A7 vs KQ
A8s 66
AJ vs 33 (33 didn't have me covered, few hands after my 77 gets called by QTo)
AT vs 77
KQ vs 55
A7 vs K9

6 where i was behind
AQ vs QQ
22 vs KK
A4 vs Ak
AK vs KK
AJ vs QQ
AT vs AQ vs AK

At least i get to the late phase in almost every sng but it would be nice to get itm a bit more often. One fourth of my sng's I bubbled due to those hands

One to go

edit: AQo vs 99

edit: another bust 88 running into QQ.

i'm done AQ vs 77 and QQ vs KJo

I lost 16BI in 29 games yesterday, had 6 bad beats and only won 1 of my flips. Nothing you can do especially if you are playing turbos.
The only thing that annoyed me was that I just crawled my way back in the profit after a minor downswing and then it threw me in the red again yesterday...
Your biggest enemy is tilt not bad beats.

and the shit continues, 3 outer ftw

AK vs AQ (bubble)
AQ vs AT (bubble)
QQ vs A6 (flops 2 pair just in case 1 wasn't enough)
freeplay, i flop 2 pair, i shove, he has an oesd, hits it on the river
99 vs K9o
TT vs AT
66 vs A3o (nut straight)
AQo vs 8Jo
QQ vs KJo (WTF)
88 vs 9Jo (dunno why you would ever call an all in with that)
another TT vs ATo

fortunately i didn't have enough time to play a lot today

lol sucked out AQ vs KK... for 1.5bb (2nd blindlevel 60 chips)

get it in behind more and suck out ftw

I actually checked if that's a good strategy these are my suckouts for today.
9Js vs AQo
AQ vs KK (for 5bb)
68 vs 77 (for 2bb)

on 1441 hands

Anyway, i'll stop bitching because it's starting to become pathetic ♦ I need to join bitches anonymous or something

can't fokking help it:
AQ vs KQo (bubble)
8J0 vs AQo WTF DUDE????? (bubble)
AA vs AKo (6 players, would have been massive chipleader as we were both biggest guys)
1 limper 1 guy raises, i rr JJ ai he calls 22, 2 on the flop
A9o vs KQ (bubble)
What i would give to not finish on the bubble with the best hand once in a fucking while
ALL FUCKKING RIGHT shove with A9s gets called by 8Js WTF??? for 11bb????

freeplay 77 i flop middle set in a 4way, money goes in on the flop,3 guys left, the biggest stack has 55 for bottom set. turn 5 for quads, 1 out is all you need against the pinguin.

QQ vs KJo i wonder if this is gonna stop anytime soon?

AT shove in sb instacalled by K6o 6 on the river

weeeeeeeeeeeeee suckout 44 vs JJ

AT vs J3o (2 pair)
AK vs AQ
QQ vs AJ
88 vs A2
A5o instacalled by K4???? KK on the flop
AA vs 77
QQ vs AQo (for 25bb)
AA vs QJo SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP PLS
AQ vs 46s????????????????????????????
AQ vs KJo bubble again
KJ vs QJ Q to the rescue bubble again
-------------------------
AK vs A9 (bubble)
AQ vs KT

All suckouts will be redeemed when you're finally ITM and HU, and the poor shortie pushes his KK into your AA, AND you flop quads just to add insult to injury. Nothing says sick like two monster hands in HU ♦
I'm just getting used to dealing with the swings atm too. At least you're up, my BR is down like 1BI and only because I keep unlocking bonuses. Otherwise I'd be 16BI down

This one made me laugh..

at about 150 sng's 20bi downswing, first time i was whining. And then around 400 sng's 25bi downswing so decided to do some more complaining at PS.com. I guess overall my graph is ok. I'm just pretty bad at taking losses in a row when i'm a favourite to win. Being on the bubble only makes it worse.

nice roi badpinguin.

That's like 12-12.5% ROI right ?

Lol, even if I have 100BI downswing, if I end up with 10%ROI I'm happy !
