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.

Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 12, 2006, 11:09:28 AM It's a result of doing things at 100mph., click click click and your off. I definitely need glasses

thanks for the donation Sark (this might have been a convincing lie by me, except you said he was good) Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 12, 2006, 11:19:03 AM ;booboo; thanks for the donation Sark (this might have been a convincing lie by me, except you said he was good) The standard of play between $1 and $100 is very different. He was much, much better then I was Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: mikkyT on September 12, 2006, 11:28:22 AM Sorry Sark.....
You fking muppet!!! Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 12, 2006, 11:33:21 AM 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
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Royal Flush on September 12, 2006, 11:38:11 AM 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.
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 12, 2006, 11:45:56 AM RPPires ? something like that, not sure I have the spelling correct though
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Graham C on September 12, 2006, 11:47:58 AM 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 :) Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 12, 2006, 11:50:45 AM 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
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Royal Flush on September 12, 2006, 12:01:54 PM Your UL sark, most of the $100 players are too passive. I find them easier than the lower levels because of it.
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Tonji on September 12, 2006, 12:02:39 PM unlucky sark, but just think if you had won....keep positive
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Claw75 on September 12, 2006, 12:14:26 PM 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.
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: yt on September 12, 2006, 01:53:16 PM 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 Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Snatiramas on September 12, 2006, 02:05:01 PM 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
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 12, 2006, 02:21:39 PM 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 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 :( Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: SupaMonkey on September 12, 2006, 04:34:22 PM Better than getting $10 for second and then realising why.
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: boldie on September 12, 2006, 04:35:50 PM Better than getting $10 for second and then realising why. Well, you are nothing if not positive my friend....but you are right of course. Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 13, 2006, 01:26:28 AM After some nice results today, I am only $11 down on my disaster this morning :)

Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: BigArmo on September 13, 2006, 12:29:00 PM 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; Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Sark79 on September 13, 2006, 12:31:02 PM :D I am actually up now after a good day yesterday. Strange really to lose a chunk of my BR and then be up at the end of it
Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: Suited_Jock on September 13, 2006, 12:32:04 PM 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.
