I had a sng earlier and by coincidence, jiffman was in it, I won that particular sng, then proceeded to bubble in the next, against three players whom I had all played before and knew they were morons, they outdrew me and busted me.
eg. one of them calling a 3-4 preflop raise with A9o, against my AK, hitting two pair on the flop and taking half my stack. can't remember how I busted out of that.

I then played a couple more, and have just been continually busted by idiots.
A68 flop, me and another guy are the only ones involved, he pushes all in, I'm sitting there with AK, I call, he flips over A2, turn 2, river 2.

Played a couple more, got my AA cracked by 69o allin preflop in one.

Then played a heads up game. I broke the guy so badly, had him down to 300 chips a few times, he scraped back, we got back to even, via a runner runner flush, and then I picked QQ in the small blind, I minraise him knowing what he'll do, sure enough he reraises it up to 200, I push all in, he calls, he flips over A10, and the flop comes 2,3,8, anyone wanna guess the turn and the river?

This is just bugging me, its happened a few times, its not a run of cold cards, its not bad play on my part, its just pure foolishness getting lucky, and while I know the streaks going to break, does anyone have any advice for how to modify play when your playing chimpanzees that randomly mash their buttons?

It just seems lately, that I can increase my bankroll, but then I hit a patch of grazing donkeys as I drive my tractor across the grass, and their bones stick in the cogs and break the engine.



My sng basic strategy is this: Avoid action the first 2-3 levels, observe the other players, make notes on their play, figure out who I want to get involved with if possible ( Jiffman will attest to this ^_^ ), but regardless of state of sng, I just run into idiots.

So anyway, to repeat the thread title, what exactly do you do when its raining donkeys and you want to escape the eooors.

Why do people use whom to sound smart when in reality they use it incorrectly?

Good answer.

Now to the OP's Q. You just keep playing... You earn your sklansky chips, and someday you'll cash them in.

I was going to reply with something witty, pointing out that latin professors will debate a words precise abstractions, I was going to point out that language it subjective, I was going to mock you by telling you to go play with your coloring book. I was going to ask why people with need to point out possible grammatical errors to make themselves sound smart, but I think I'll stick with a fuck you.

So fuck you. ( to infinity ).

No professor is going to debate this. Who is the nomnitative case; whom is the objective case. When you use a relative pronoun, you should always use the objective case. Does it upset you that when I'm playing with my coloring book, I'm making 5 times what you do per hour?

No harm no foul, everyone makes mistakes and unless someone points them out it doesn't really matter
