[Closed] SSS Fail - Please Help!

_Anonymous_ · 2010-02-17T18:09:18Z

Hello everyone! I´m writing to report my desperation. I don´t know if this situation i´m living is normal, if I´m on a downswing or whatever. Anyway, the thing is: I received my $50 starting capital two days ago. Since then, I´ve been playing according to SSS on limits $0.05/0.10 on Party Poker. From day 1 to day 2 my account droped from $50 to $34. From day 2 to day 3, it dropped from $34 to $20. I was like "what the f*** is going on?". I simply can´t understand it, so I´m asking for advice. I played on 6-7 tables, witch is perfectly fine to me because I´m used to multi-tabling, since I´ve played for about 3 years for Play Money. I didn´t take any rushed decisions. I played the SSS perfectly, hand by hand. I didn´t digress a single hair from the charts. Also, I´m sure I wasn´t tilted (by the way, that´s one of the beauties of SSS, since you just have to follow a simple chart, it´s almost tilt-proof). When I reached $35, a tried to switch to a lower limit, but $0.02/0.04 tables on Party poker require a minimum buy-in of $2, witch puts me out of the possibility of playing the SSS. SSS is the most tight and secure poker strategy I know. I expected to lose a little bit or break even, but losing 62% of my stack in two days was a huge shock. The problem seems obvious to me. There are simply too many shortstackers playing at Party Poker, at least at $0.05/0.10 limit. You can´t find a table without at least 4 of them! Since SSS is a strategy designed to be used against big stacks and loose players, it just loses power against a table full os shortstackers. I didn´t get any multiple calls when I played! I mean, what good is to play QQ if you either don´t get called or only get called by AA? Seriously, I lost with KK vs AA four times in two days! Come on!! If you guys have any piece of advice, please help me! I´m absolutely addicted to poker, I spend hours studying it and I want become a good player more than anything in the world! I´m simply fascinated by this game and the possibilities it offers! Also, I need loose/bad players! Where can I find them? Thanks in advance Cauê PS.: sorry for the lousy English

its the same everywhere i would say... a lot of shorties everywhere.
On stars theres plenty of them also, i cant find a table there also or if you do in 2-3 minutes there comes other shortstackers.... weeeee....
+ stars sftware sucks so much, i start tilting once i have to play more than 5 tables its just such a lausy software compared to full tilt. But full tilt sux even more for banning SSS

That´s amazing! 50 to 1200 just playing SSS? I wonder why it works so good on Everest...

Anyway, my advice is to never try SSS on Party Poker. But that´s just my [trauma] experience
