Scottish Dave's Bankroll Experiment

[Wardonkey]

Thems the breaks Sark. My record is 17 in a row. I am 0/7 today it's not always a bed of roses!

I can't seem to cash in any of them right now.  I had eleven cashes in a row.  Now I have gone 14 without cashing.  Every time I get Kings, he has Aces, etc.  I am getting outdrawn big time.  To be honest, I think I have the ability to control the cards using my mind.  When ever my opponent needs his card to win, I just know it is going to fall for him.  I think I might be mentally controlling his cards and giving him goods ones. I will probably be in X-Men 4 and live in Charles Xavier's school of excellence with Hallie Berry

lol i know the feeling, sometimes i just know that the 1 outer is going to hit or i'm going to get outdrawn with running hearts etc...

sark what name do you play as on stars?

Yea true.  It is very frustrating  . Hope things change later tonight, I am having a break now or I will go insane.  Hold on, I am already insane.   I will go more insane

Sucks being outdrawn, I do sympathise.  I find it best just not to get involved unless I have really really good hands.  At the low levels you do get the crazies that go all in with anything to try and double up quickly but usually by the first few levels, they're knocked or taking a bit more seriously.  People that are left at the FT generally want to win.

Just my experiences   Hope your luck changes

Sark, have a bash at the 18 man sng's.  The games aren't any harder and the prize money is that much greater.  I think the 18 mans are mainly turbos which you may not be fussed about but they are a good game and a great way of boosting the bankroll.

what strategy do you use for 18 STT turbo? sit tight wait for hands? or go aggressive and built a stack quickly?

i tend to sit back and wait for hands to play aggressively, however, i tend to find that when i get on the final table i'm usually short stacked and am looking for hands to double up with. how much does your single table STT strategy change to a 2 table STT?

[Graham C]

It doesn't vary a great deal to be honest.  I tend to play tight as I would in a single table but on the first level I'll play decent connecting cards (not 2 3 or things that low but at least JT) where I'd normally fold.  I don't raise though, I'm just looking to see a cheap flop, the only hands I raise with are proper stong ones until the late stages.

I don't finish in the money as often as in stt's - my itm percentage is lower on the 18 man games than the single tables, but my ROI is much higher due to the prize pool boost you get.

Why is this thread still in general discussion?

[thetank]

What's wrong with the internet poker section Mikky?

[mikkyT]

Thats where this thread should be.

[thetank]

This thread has sort of run it's course though. What's the point in moving it now?

[mikkyT]

Hmm has Dave given up? Pfft thats no good!

Dave didn't so much give up, as decided it was taking him in the wrong direction for what he wanted out of poker. That's ok and is difficult to admit sometimes.
He shared with us all why, which took a commendable amount of courage, as to some, his behaviour seemed a tad silly.
We're all capable of that sort of thing. I think many of us saw portions of ourselves in Dave's frank honesty.

Why bring this up anyway?

Do you have have an axe to grind concerning the moving of your thread?  Do you feel it may get less exposure in the internet poker board, than if it still had pride of place in General Discussion? Do you feel that you are being treated unfairly? Do you think Colchester Kev shifted it to smite you? Do you feel that some blonde members are treated differently than others? Is Scottish Dave prettier than you? Do you feel there is a massive consiparcy to stifle your creativity? Do you think that the name of the site "blondepoker" is a subtle throwback to arian ideals? Are you just trying to stir shit for the sake of it?

If the answer to any of the above is yes then...

Here's a deck of cards.

 

Deal with it. 

[mikkyT]

I can't deal.
