Hi Pokerfans ! !

I told you last time about that dreadful, sick beat against harmand24 where he made a runner runner inside straight bluff when I made trips on the flop.Now I’ll show you how I went out of that SnG two hands later. The blinds were 75$/ 150$ and after that beat I only had a tiny 365$ left behind. I sat on the button with :

So after a limp under the gun from harmand24 and twe folding people in front of me, I automatically shove with a good hand like Ace-Ten. I get a call from the small blind and our dear friend. Than the flop was pretty good for me :

After 2 checks ( Yeah I know, he didn’t shove at once ), the turn seems pretty harmless, especially followed by another 2 checks. Afterwards it was time for the deadly river: . The small blind checked again and when our friend betted out 300$ I immediately knew where I was .. dead and gone out of the Sng against .

You see really any hand can win against another in Poker at anytime, even against the premium hands, so be careful ! But I hope that I have the honour to sit at the same table again sometime as harmand24.

Next time I’ll show you that I also could win a hand and I’ll already tell you some names of PokerPlayers who didn’t get to my final top 100 most Famous PokerPlayers.

Cheers!

Hi Pokerpeople !

My first post must be a special one so I want to show you the abominable, dark side of the Pokergame. Yeah, that’s right, how cruel and frustrating it could be, especially the beats that everyone will remember !! ( you’ll notice that I’m not overacting after reading this )
I’ve got the perfect example here to prove that:

I was playing a Sng (27 players / 3$ buy-in) at PokerStars. We were half way, 13 players left, with the blinds at 50$/ 100$ and I was one of the stack leaders at that moment with a stack of 6425$ before I woke up in the BB with

So I’m in the Big Blind, Harmand24 calls with 2 folded hands in front of him and hawind62 goes all-in over the top for another 1330$. I consider his possible hands and I put him on 2 high cards or a middle to high pair, something like Tens. After the button and small blind fold, I decide to call this 7 handed with a much better than average hand for about 20%  of my stack and have a good shot to eliminate an other player. Harmand24 also calls the all-in bet.

The flop was : 

That’s a very good flop for me and I check to see if Harmand24 eventually wants to check it down. Surprisingly he goes all-in for another 4655$. I think a while what he could probably have and as I knew him as a rather loose, wild player who definitely would have raised with a big Ace, I just put him on a weak Ace or maybe a little to middle pair or even worse. So I call and surprisingly see that,                                                                           Harmand24 has:   and hawind62 has

I was very lucky that I outflopped his Kings and that Harmand24 just makes a silly move with The Lierse (9,7). I’m glad that I easily eliminate 2 players now as I’m pretty confident to see turn and river. As cautious I went after the turn ,

as stunned and speechless I turned after the river

Rather than fury, it really left me half dead (with a stack of 440$), unconscious, because something like that as never happened to me. So sick. I still feel queasy as I think about it.Maybe I should have pushed all-in pre-flop? or bet first after the flop? I still think it wouldn’t have matter

I finished 12th because the next hand, the same guy gives me another sick beat which I’ll show you next time !

Cheers !

P.S. Shortly I’ll start with my first list, The top-100 most famous Poker Players ! So you can always leave your favourites in a comment or a message and I’ll take that into account.
