Why I hate Poker Stars

Postby flafishy » Sat Aug 19, 2006 2:23 pm

I don't understand it, but I can't figure out a way to cash a tourney at Poker Stars to save my life. SnG or MTT. I have a reasonable amount of success most everywhere else, but at Poker Stars, this kind of stuff always seems to happen to me.

15 minutes or so into a 2500-chip, 30-minute blind level MTT. CO has already shown his maniacal side, having already been up to about 6,000 chips and back.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) from (Format: Bet The Pot)

MP2 (t2125)
MP3 (t2300)
CO (t3725)
Hero (t2325)
SB (t2500)
BB (t2575)
UTG (t2025)
UTG+1 (t4300)
MP1 (t2900)

Preflop: Hero is Button with [9s], [9d].
2 folds, MP1 raises to t150, 2 folds, CO calls t150, Hero calls t150, 2 folds.

Flop: (t525) [5d], [Th], [9c] (3 players)
MP1 checks, CO bets t450, Hero raises to t1000, MP1 folds, CO calls t550.

Turn: (t2525) [Ad] (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets t1175 (All-In), CO calls t1175.

River: (t4875) [Ah] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t4875

Results in white below:
CO has Ac Tc (full house, aces full of tens).
Hero has 9s 9d (full house, nines full of aces).
Outcome: CO wins t4875.

I have never done well in Star NL MTTs, but I run pretty well in the LO8b MTTs.

I dont play MTT there a lot though, just drunken buck week ends.

Thought I'd try another one at Poker Stars because sometimes I just love to punish myself.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) from (Format: Bet The Pot)

saw flop|saw showdown

MP (t4960)
Button (t2375)
SB (t1888)
Hero (t1982)
UTG (t2295)

Preflop: Hero is BB with [Ac], [6h].
2 folds, Button calls t100, SB completes, Hero raises to t350, Button calls t250, SB folds.

Flop: (t800) [6d], [Th], [Td] (2 players)
Hero bets t600, Button calls t600.

Turn: (t2000) [3c] (2 players)
Hero bets t1032 (All-In), Button calls t1032.

River: (t4064) [2d] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t4064

Results in white below:
Hero has Ac 6h (two pair, tens and sixes).
Button has Jd 7d (flush, jack high).
Outcome: Button wins t4064.

Stars is more rigged than UB but Stars software is so much better now that I will deal with the riggings.

Dan, I don't understand your reasoning at all. When did he have the right price to call against a paired board with a medium flush draw when it was highly possible he was drawing dead? How are you counting your outs here? Are you saying this is a call you'd stake your tournament life on?
