Title: I am an idiot
Post by: Sark79 on September 12, 2006, 10:58:55 AM
This morning I thought I would try and play some HU on VC.  I went to the STT section and selected a $1  1x1 table.  When my opponent arrived it was obvious he was a good player and I began to wonder why he was playing at the $1 limits.  The game went on for about 20 minutes and eventually he beat me with a higher straight than mine.  It was at that time it dawned on me, I had been playing in a $100 HU game rather than a $1.   All I have to show for 6 days work is a $3 profit now as my BR building $103 over the last 6 days has gone  :D.

The standard of play between $1 and $100 is very different. He was much, much better then I was

It's back to the $3 STT now for me.   I lost another $50 on blonde trying to chase my lose.   Very frustrating, I am going to buy some of those £1 glasses from boots later

UL Sark, who was it you played? You got unlucky as most of the $100 HU players are bad, there are a couple of good ones though.

RPPires ?   something like that, not sure I have the spelling correct though

I know how you feel, I entered a $55 turbo on Stars once instead of a $6 :D  Funnily enough, I lost in that too.

On the plus side, you held your own for quite a while there Sark, perhaps you should be moving up the levels a bit :)

To be honest, I was outclassed. He knew when to push and when I was bluffing. In the lower HU games I am used to, the players are far more passive

Your UL sark, most of the $100 players are too passive. I find them easier than the lower levels because of it.

unlucky sark, but just think if you had won....keep positive

aw unlucky Sark - was it a genuine misclick, or was it to do with that bug where it sometimes takes you to a completely different table than the one you are trying to select?  There was a post about that recently.

Unlucky.
to make you feel better I was playing one of the new HORSE sit n goes on Stars and made a house aces full. I had bet on every street and rammed the river to the max.
The game had changed to Razz  :D

Bad luck Sark. I know it is no consolation but I have played 7 card twice in my life. Both times because I clicked before thinking

Sometimes when you go to click a table it shoots up the screen to a completely different bit of the menu.  I am not sure if that happened or not.  I think I was probably still in a sleepy mood and misclicked  :D

I've had it the other way around...wanting to play a 50$ 10 seater sit and Go.clicked started playing...won it and was then baffled as to why I only got 25$ or something in my account....turned out it was a fiver one :(

Better than getting $10 for second and then realising why.

Previous level would have been Omaha though?

On the plus side it will be fun spending hours building up your roll after destroying it in 20 mins.

Overcoming adversitey and all that  ;whistle;

Hey Sark just to make you feel a bit better I did an Identical thing on sunday on pokerstars.

I assume the lobby refreshed I was hitting register for the 2nd Chance NL tournie as I ended up being entered in a $215 NL HU matches :( Went out in the 2nd round 2pair < 2 pair.

I was not amused.
