After reading your message, I kept staring at the screenshot to determine the horrible way in which you were sucked out on before I realized that you actually won the hand. How often does that happen with two insta calls?
This time, I go out 65th, 54 places pay. I want to preface this screen shot by saying blinds were 500/1000. I was in the small blind and ANY other time, I would have obviously folded this hand, but there were 2 limpers, so I limped as well and was ecstatic that I did so.
I flopped the nut straight, put the rest of my chips in instantly, and get called by this clown, whose heart draw I OBVIOUSLY can't fade, because I never can win with the best.
I know this whole thread seems like ME bitching constantly. I'm sorry for that. I blame Scott, because he was the one who got me hooked on the "screen shot" post.....
Here are the latest......and bear with me, because I'm ready to jump off the roof here....both times mind you I was the one who pushed in. And got called with a hand not as strong as mine, but became strong on the river.
I haven't played online extensively. I'm just curious as to whether this "gambler" attitude by these folks is more often seen in these tournaments/SNG's or if the online cash games are just as loose and "free-spirited."
I can at least somewhat understand the loose calls in tournaments/SNG's, b/c bad players' only chance to win/finish in the money is to gamble and get lucky by doubling/tripling up. Since your losses are limited to the buy-in, and a loss on the bubble vs. being the first knocked out of the tournament all looks the same on paper, this may be there only hope.
I would think an online cash game would be a different animal, but you tell me.
