i think i am gonna stop playing the 90 person Sng's on FTP...they play is just so bad and its always rewarded
Today i had kK openshove 15Xthe BB and got called by QJ offsuit
flop was ok 97 3 turn j tiver j...just sick and discustiong...idk what it is about these tournies
Which level are you playing? I notice that a lot too, but I also play in the cheapest ones. I do seem to go deeper in those SnG's, though...although I still kinda suck at poker generally lol. I've only won a couple sng's and those were 9 player. With klinkman coaching me though I've been able to get even deeper in the 90 mans, but we do seem to keep getting sucked out on. Last weekend we both played in the same tourney and were out way too quickly, it sucked.Quote:

I suck at poker too but ever since I switched my philosophy to survive, win the war not the battle. I have done so much better in those 45/90/180 things.
we play the 12+1 level....ud think it would be better play right???
NOT AT ALL
i had 4 people bust at my table within the first time around the button...sick
people were shoving with A4 suited and getting called by QQ and dude flops 2 4s...i will never play them again, unless maybe its the 24+2...once again, full tilt is NOTHING but donkeys unless your playing high stakes...
thats why i stop playing on there........ i mean think about about they have all theses cool tourney's and a lot of people are always on.....well that equals DONK CITY.......Quote:

however i stay away from the tourneys that people can win thier buy in from a sat. just because donkeys are usual there...i need tough comptetion.....
My first concern with your post about the hand is that you open pushed with KK for 15x the bb. That is an extreme over bet, but I don't know the blind level or your stack size. Instead of blaming the site for the suck out, why not examine your play and decide if you might be doing something wrong. I understand it is a lot easier to blame the site rather than yourself, but more often that not it is the player not the site.
On the hand, why not raise to 5x the bb and then push the other 10x the bb on the flop when it hits so perfect for your hand. If you would of raised preflop and then bet the flop, you would more than likely pick up the hand. Instead of playing for a HUGE pot, try playing for the win.
ok what happens when i raise 5x the bb and get a call by Ax and the flop hits an ace...i am folding the hand then....and only left with 10x the BB??? short stacked and gotta shove soon....i would rather get my money in preflop vs Ax with KK and let them only have 3 outs...or if its A weak they prolly fold for 15xthe BB....idk many ways of playing it....in this situation 5 betting them shoving woulda worked....either way he has way behind...and i got my money in way good...whay was q j off calling a 15 bet anyways???? any you think they fold thier 2 overs for 10x the bb postflop??? exp if the called 15z the bb with q j off preflop???
20 times the big blind or less, you fold or shove, you dont raise min, you dont raise 4 times the big blind(happy eejit?) lol, and seeing as im def not folding KK, im def shoving with 15 times the BB, ESPCIALLY if there's antes to go with it...you'll gain 3-4 extra big blinds...MORE FIREPOWER...
also, ffcowboy, he didn't do anything wrong in the hand, he got called by a player with a bad read and that player got lucky, it's poker....
