Are you sure it wasn't just the variance of one player getting a run of cards while both players are sub 40 bb?

So put a small part of my rapidly dwindling 888 roll on Stars and started playing 16 NL last few days to see if my run bad was site-specific (!!).

Wish I had this in my hand histories, but it was a while ago, and didn't save them back then.
Craziest hand ever.

8 at the table, online at FTP. Deep into a $6 Sit 'N Go.
I'm on the button, with Q:hearts: 10:hearts:
5 players fold to me, so I toss a 3x button raise in, hoping to clean up the blinds and antes.
Small blind folds.
Big blind calls.
2 handed to the flop, it comes up Q:diamonds: 10:spades: 10:clubs:

Happy days. :thumbsu:

Big blind rolls out a big bet! :eek:
Thought about calling, but I just knew it was all going in eventually.
So I raised all-in, and got snap called.

Now I had put him on A10 or J10, not what he turned over. The only hand better than mine.
He had Q:spades: Q:clubs:

Typical. :cool:

Then came the turn..... and would you believe it?
It was the 10:diamonds:!!!! :eek::D

River was obviously inconsequential, I took down the pot, and went on my merry way.
I think I cashed in that tourney, but if I did, it wasn't memorable.

Should have put on a tattslotto ticket that night.

Cheers :)
 
Righteo no more bad beats, I'm going final table this big 27.50 today! Uber confident!!

Currently 14th in chips with 156 left.

Rail to victory!! crt%cmmnd

Haven't had a deep run for a while.... 5 left.... get KK... get it all in

Then he spikes his J.

1.2K up top woulda been nice, plus bounties, would have put me and him with a pretty handy chip lead. So frustrating to come so far and get KO'd like that :( Especially considering its 4am and i've been up since 6:30am yesterday

lol wot? o_O
 
Not bragging for my self.
Have a very close mate who loves poker also travelling the states, he arrived in Vegas not long ago and he is usually just a cash player.
He entered a 215 plus rebuys tourney during late rego to miss the chaotic stages of gamblers.
After 11 hours of play came in 7th for $1400.
Would be one of his first live tournaments I reckon so I think it is a great achievement.
Wynnes Casino.

I'm sure when he is back we will be at crown for the Friday night freezout...
 

This was what I thought: most pairs/Ax raise pre/get it in on the flop with that stack and even if he got sticky with those on the flop a paired 5/2 chcks river all middle pairs look to get to showdown cheaply as well as does Ax that whiffed the board. Also the size of the bet on the river screams steal given he left himself with chips behind - if he has a 7 he's shoving it in. Also I block KJ and QJ and K high beats a ton of his range that gets to the river that way given his limp/calls through the hand then all of a sudden bet the river. Typical passive/aggro line taken in small BI tournaments by a lot of players who get to the river and realise they have no showdown and now should bluff.

I take it the whole hand looks fishy to you? :cool: I'm OK with that interpretation though.

i actually misread that (i thought he check / called the river); river bet by him is fine but i wouldn't have played that it that way.

but then again, i'm not flat calling 108s with 17 BB left from the CO. raise, dry flop, delay c bet = profit :D

Not sure how he is calling my 4 bet with 33, nor how he can possibly call my bet post flop....But he did

I totally understand why he would call my bet post turn..... gah! Just not sure how he came along so far....
