First off - really like to thank Alex for posting stuff on
FTP - went there, enjoyed it immensly, and was able to get some rhythm going. Wonderful site, good people, and an overall style that suits me and my BR.
So I took this new found confidence back to Stars, and I noticed that all my complaints about PS were unfounded......well most.....it was my style that had been getting me into trouble. LAG I am not and do not have the experience to be doing such a thing yet.
Anyhoo
$4 Dollar SnG - was playing really well and surprised myself with being CL with about thirty left, even though I had not had any real strong cards (in the traditional sense). I had some awesome reads on some players and caught a couple of sets that paid off really well.
KK comes along, cracked by JJ - a little miffed, but it happens
a few hands later
KK comes along, cracked by A8 - he was short stacked so couldn't blame him really
a few hands later
KK comes along, by this time I got a bit wary, but shortest of short stacks went all in so I called, another goes all in (he was mid stack), odds were pretty good so I took it on, JJ for mid, 56 for short. Well JJ caught his J, short caught a straight.....and that was enough to cripple me after the other hits. Went out 11th, which was a little disappointing, but oh well.
KK is easy to crack, but when you get it three times within about 20 hands you would think you would win one of them right?
At least there was no steam or tilt this time. A slight sigh, a slight profit, and a significant improvement in my game was enough to keep the tilt doctor away.
