i played in a 1500$ tourney on
titan poker.. this post is not about me, i finished in 18th place at last - with craps i got all tourney it was a good result! this post is about something other..
after 20 minutes i went to info and found a well known name leading that tourney - bigpimp (you all remember that guy from bbp tourneys).. he had about 10k of stack.. every next time i looked he was always raising his stack..
after i got out i went to eat, then back in my room... the final table started and the chip leader was - you guess - bigpimp.. he entered final table with 100k stack.. i was really wondering how he made that stack and started watching that table.. at the end he won the tourney leaving me and the others without words.. i was really shocked... i know him from some other tourneys when he always won with a marginal hand over my premium.. and believe me that i was 100% sure that he will win this tourney!
what i saw there is for guiness book of records.. it was really impossible.. he won every hand he moved.. AJ vs AK - j on river, 54 vs KK - str8 on river, two str8s with 4 cards, A6 vs 88, Q7 vs QJ - 7 on river, and about 15 other hands where he was about 30% or less (all moved preflop)! grand final was in heads-up when he called a preflop move with Q3 vs A3s (they got 3 on flop) - he got his Q on turn.. we were really in doubt that he is some kind of hacker or he works for poker room.. it is not the story about him.. losing constantly like this is really frustrating, and only watching that let me think to stop playing online poker! it happens to me all the time.. i'm playing good, make my stack, then make a raise with premium hand, somebody moves with K7 for ex., i lose..
how to get over bad beats when they are happening in a row, and how to play against players who are hitting every hand whole touney?
