Yeah so im pretty deep in the 11 dollar 100k guarantee KO today, and i have an 80k stack. When poker regular "Fairlaw" Raises UTG to 2.8k with a 120k stack. Im on the button with 9-7 suited. So i three bet him to 8.2k. everyone else folds and he calls. Flop comes Q-T-6 rainbow, he checks so i bet half pot. He quickly calls and checks the turn which is an Ace. I bet half pot again which leaves me the right amount to shove the river. Im always shoving no matter if i hit my gutshot or not. He calls the turn again. The river is a Deuce which is the perfect card for my shove. He checks the river quickly yet again. And i shove as planned. He time banks for about 30 seconds then calls. Flipping his Pocket Fives over and winning with 4th pair.
Im all for someone soul reading me but this was just crazy. I could have screamed. This guy is either a poker genius or a cheating scumbag. Ive checked his stats and he hasent had a loosing year yet, infact hes up over 1m dollars. hmmmmmmmm

Hello dunkind34

Welcome on the PokerStrategy forum :welcome:

Maybe good to post the hand history. Then your hand is easier to read, but overall you line looks like spewing around as well.

Further I have moved your hand to the hand discussion forum, because it’s fits better there.

Cheers,

Really don,t think i was spewing around like u said. I reraised him on the button preflop. And we had been at the same table for 45 mins. Id been playing tight and only opened 3 hands whilst he was opening alot. With that flop and turn and me betting every street, then me shoving the river 30k ish into 40k ish with a Q-6-10-A-2 Board. Im representing so much. He called me with POCKET Y FIVES LOL. This guy has won literally hundreds of thousands every year. And heres the reason why. HES A CHEATER.
He was a top 10 stack when we played this hand and i was maybe top 50. NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE WOULD CALL MY SHOVE THERE WITHOUT A LEGITIMATE CALLING HAND. Thanks for the reply. One more thing to say, he was playing almost 10 other tournys at the same time.

How would he be cheating?

Also his call only needs to be right once every three times. Also he'd still have some stack left if wrong, but have a really good stack if right. Maybe he just didn't believe you and just went with his gut.....

Maybe your right mate, but i seriously doubt it. And the facts speak for themselves. I play every day nearly at stars and hardly ever run deep or cash. My play is on par with most regs. But i just cant catch a break. when others are cashing and final tabeling all the time. I seem to get the cold deck every time im in a monster pot. Always action with my monster hands, with action flops and turns. The word Variance doesent exist there. Im on a 2 year downswing with zero final tables and only min cashes with over 1000 mtts played. Whats that? $4.5k down lol. Is that me being a bad player or rigged action? I dont Know, but my "GUT" as you say tells me the site is fraudulent. But hey ho il never be able to convince people. thx for the reply

Sounds like you are going through a tough patch. If you haven't already I would recommend reading "The mental game of poker 1&2". In 1 it addresses the exact feelings/situations you are describing and talks it through well. Might find it helps to break the cycle.
