This is a dead blog, thanks for reading.

Doomswitch is real, in life and in poker.

In life: get deadly cancer or a heart attack, while living a healthy life and unhealthy fat f*cks get to live and grow old.
In poker: making perfect plays, good calls, having 95% equity all-ins but losing to 2 outers and suckous all the time.

That's the harsch truth about things.

YOU DIE ALONE

It's the thing you can try to take from poker and use it on different aspects in life: control your emotions, or rather: be emotionless (be rational)!

When I play on ggp I can't be patient, must stop play on the worst and unfair poker room.

For me is not tournaments:

PokerStars, $1.96 + $0.24 - Hold'em No Limit - 100/200 (25 ante) - 8 players
Replay this hand on Pokeit - https://pokeit.co/public/225loQvq2/r

UTG (Hero): 4,575 (23 bb)
UTG+1: 8,518 (43 bb)
MP: 10,225 (51 bb)
MP+1: 2,480 (12 bb)
CO: 6,346 (32 bb)
BU: 5,210 (26 bb)
SB: 8,832 (44 bb)
BB: 16,994 (85 bb)

Pre-Flop: (500) Hero is UTG with K♣ K♦
Hero raises to 500, 5 players fold, SB calls 400, 1 fold

Flop: (1,400) 3♠ 8♦ Q♦ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets 900, SB raises to 5,796, Hero calls 3,150 (all-in)

Turn: (9,500) A♣ (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (9,500) Q♥ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: 9,500

Showdown:
SB shows Q♠ 9♠ (three of a kind, Queens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 19%, Flop: 23%, Turn: 11%, River: 100%)

UTG (Hero) shows K♣ K♦ (two pair, Kings and Queens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 81%, Flop: 77%, Turn: 89%, River: 0%)

SB wins 9,500

I know the feeling....

I think from the last 20 times that I was allin with pocket KK, I won 2.
Ax hand 3outers me with and Ace and lower pocket pair 2 outers me, with decnt odds (Ax being the worst one with 66% and the 2outer shit is 95%+ odds fucking me in the ass, not a nice feeling I can tell you...)

I guess this variance is "normal".

Only thing that I ask is that the cards show up in my favor a bit more and that I can hold with the best hand with 80% odds...

Most frustrating is to get it in right or make a good all-in call and get sucked out as a thanks for the good play....

It is time consuming to filter hands from different mtt's in the GG software and on top of that I don't want to be a cry blog with all the "standard variance" when playing mtt's... So not posting any hands with bad beats to backup this story, unless you guys want to see some proof, than let me know!

But yea, this shit is the reason I haven't been able to qualify for a stage 2 mystery bounty mtt yet, and that's beginning to be very frustrating.

Nothing could be funner than to win with runner runner

Well winning with runner-runner-royal is somewhat funner...

I decided to come over the top with a ROYAL SUCKOUT :f_cool:

Are you on GG Honeymoon? One missions was to get Royal in AoF O or just flushstraight in AoF H. I found some instruktion that said have to try also all bd for royal. After loosing 10 bins when trying I stopped to try in AoF O. SB calling with top pair and gutshot is standart.

Good result, I on ggp have typical bad run so I don't play this game. Tournaments sucks, cash games less value hands...

That's something I always disliked about GGPoker. Also the fact that they can't be disabled (as far as I know), like on most other sites. And also that they can be easily selected by yourself on accident because the buttons for them keep popping up after hands.

But mostly the fact that GG simply doesn't offer anything other than Hold'em and Omaha, though that would be most sites that are not Pokerstars.

This blog feels like talking to myself. :f_thumbsup:
Hey, at least you don't need more than 10 paragraphs for it, like I do. :f_grin:

I love GGPoker because I'm a gambler.

If you have the worst hand, you just smile and call for the four.

It only happens on GGPoker!

Yes, it was really fun to see this result, my ass is still on there but it was close, while laughing... :f_tongue:

I know this mission exists for the honeymoon, but I wasn't doing that mission.
And in the end I guess, the runner runner Royal Flushdraw isn't worth chasing, since the chances of hitting it is 1 in 500, while the payout is just 460BBs in this case..

Thanks! Variance is part of poker and can be harsch, but as you see, sometimes you also get lucky yourself, keep on playing!

I don't have many lucky on ggp, last times I lose every spots like TT vs A8 all in preflop, on ggp is more bad variance than on ps for me. Good luck for everybody.
