This is sick

[GusHansenJr]

What the **** is wrong with carbon poker? ME - AQ SB - A8 and BB - A10 all in preflop. Flop is 7 9 7 turn 6 and ofcourse river 9. Every single hand i play i get ****ing rivered. OK next hand ME AA, one had KK and other A2 spades. KK won with ****ing flush. This is get so sick. Something really is wrong with that. How can i lose every single hand i play??????????

I think we all feel the same way sometimes but the trouble is that we only seem to remember the bad beats and not take into consideration the times we win and the bad beats we bestow on fellow players.

Why dont you try some 'Smart Bluffs' my friend? ;)

[GusHansenJr]

Smart Bluff both hands were all in preflop so its kinda hard to bluff ;)

It's nothing to do with the site... I'm moving this thread to the bad beat forum.

Hi GusJr

Unfortunately, the $50 Freerolls can become very loose due the field size and the fact that there is Free money up for grabs. When players dont have to risk their own bankroll, they often try to double up early with a lucky hand or bust out trying.

If you were to play a regular buy-in tournament, you would see far less wreckless play and fewer rivers.

Ye i know. I was just mad cause i got 2 bad beats in a row.

[CarbonPoker]

No problem, it's never fun to be on the receiving end of a bad beat.

Wish you the best of luck at the tables!

I gotta say it does take a bit to get me really riles at the tables but this morning in the New Player Freeroll I almost lost it completely.
First hand I have J 10 os there are 3 allins so I fold. Two had A kicker os one has Q kicker os (I think) A's higher kicker wins. NOW our winner must think he is really good because he goes allin virtually evey hand for the next 20 of 22 hands. On hand 14(?) I call with Q's and he busts me out with 6 8 os! Every allin call except for two he was allin with garbage and winning!
Someone please tell me the odds!!!????

ffs i just never seem to be able to do well in the 200 guaranteed on poker.com coz of ridiculous bad beats. 2 in a row, AK v j9, j9 hits a bloody 9 high straight ON THE RIVER!!!!
and then all in again with not much left after that BAD BEAT with A7o, called by JTo and whaddaya know, a ten ON THE RIVER.

can i ever do any good? no it would seem not. the night befores tournament, going well and i find AA. 4xBB raise and 1 calls. flop is JT4. I push, he calls with KQo, so i am 3:1 to win since i have 2 of his outs, but hey, it doesnt matter, the worst hands gonna win anyway as the turn comes blazing down a 9.

with this logic, i should always go all in with 72o preflop and in no time i will be a millionaire.

After looking at your hand history....

This was not a case of a bad beat, just a poor read and unable to lay down AK on the river when you had hit nothing...

However, congratulations must be given on starting your real money account balance without ever having to deposit on the site. I guess all the freerolls and free funsteps that you play on Carbon have paid off for you!

[skinski]

Have seen sooooo many that just can not throw away an ace..they'll hold it till the end . That's not the site's fault , just bad play on the player .

[Metallor]

which hand are you talking about? im pretty sure that AK hand was all in preflop

[GusHansenJr]

Ye, both hands were all in preflop

[DangerMouse]

All-in pre-flop = gamble

If you were the one that pushed, learn to play flops instead.

If you called learn to lay down hands. I`ll throw away AK with very little hesitation early in tourneys rather than gamble my entire tourney on a drawing hand.

[Metallor]

i was putting the sb all in from the bb because they had about 5xbb left and they limped. hence im a favourite to win since if they had anything decent they woulda pushed. everyone else had folded

[DangerMouse]

Well if he`s that short-stacked it`s probably the right move for him to make. He`s HU and unless he`s up against an overpair he`s looking at being a 3-2 dog in the hand. For all he knows you`ve got nothing and could be just trying to bully him out of his blind.

[Porkrind]

Learning how not to go bust with AK sooted is the first step to level 2 poker.

I think this thread should be moved to the Hillbillies forum....LOL. Kinda sounds like a scene from the movie Deliverence. Does anyone hear Banjos playing?
