yours truly blows it yet again...

Gholimoli

started the night with playing the WSOP.didnt go well at all.
then came the 6K and i bluffed my stack at a calling station.
the played the 10K and the 15K .did well in the 10K and got to the final table.
had a good stack and then my QQ got busted by AK(the fecker made a bad call) and i was out in 6th.(the fecker who busted me was chip lead but he was crap so he went out in 5th and that made me happy:D ).
then the final table of 15K and its 4 handed and im crusing.i have 600K and the next person after me has something like 300K.then i make a very bad call and get involved in a big pot with the second big stack and dump all me chips to him leaving my self with something like 130K.
then i come back to around 300K and then 400K when its heads up.
he has about 800K.we play a few hands ,and i make a stupid move and push his raise with my A5s and he calls with AK and that was that.
in second place i go again.disappointed with me self to be honest.:mad:

Ghol, your having some run and I really think you've got to stop been so hard on yourself or you'll do your head in. You have the same style of play as Len, super aggressive with position or weakness shown against you and thats fine, but better players will catch you and you'll have bad beats too, but you willl win more than you lose and thats a good return, I would love to be able to play like you.

But great result over the last few weeks for you and rob, so well done, hopefully see you tomorrow or Thursday at the SE and I'll buy you a drink, or you can buy me a drink with all your winnings
lol

ghol you got to chill your consistently in the money the whole time. I'd easily say your up some serious dough lately. your a great tournie player, keep it up.

nice result again gholi, to come through 2 fields that size, and get 2 FTs in one night is excellent going in anyones book.

Fatboydim

I know how you feel Gholi... I've had a run lately of making final tables or damn near... for qualifiers... and then blowing it with an over aggresive play. The interesting thing is I only think I play this style in tourneys where the prize is only one two or three spots. I seem to get near the end and instead of playing tight aggresive as I do for most of the tourney I become loose aggresive. Interesting that last night the two players that benefitted from this were Lucky A [3rd to Ollie] and Benevin [2nd to Ollie] Whilst I'm glad the chips went to places... it struck home that one of the places could have gone to me. I think it's just a question of stepping back and recognising this pattern and making adjustment. As Rob says the fact that you're getting through these large fields is it's own testimoney.

What is the point of this post? Complaining about winning money makes little sense to me. I'm not trying to antagonise here but this is a very busy forum etc. etc.

Bad Beat/ Boast thread???

ianmc38

yeah i'd really hate to be finishing in the top 10 of nearly every MTT i play.

Gholimoli

lads i appreciate all the nice comments and the encouragements.
however i just like to say im not man moaning about winning money. I know im a decent player etc etc and getting to the final tables is nice. There is one thing though. I read some where that you should make the money certain % of the MTT you play. after that you should make the final table certain % of the MTTs that you make hte money in.afte that you should win certain % of the MTT's that you make the FT in.if your not meeting these % along the way then there something wrong some where.
i realize i may come across as a moaning **** who moans about winning.
but trust me that’s not the intention at all.im just trying to fine tune my game.
one again i do appreciate all the comments.

not being confrontational or anything, but what sort of replies bar "well done"/ "don't worry about it" or "variance, etc. etc." did you expect that would help to fine tune your final table game??

I think that your post belongs in your blog as the forum is busy enough without pointless posters looking for a clap on the back etc

Sickpuppy if you have a problem with a post report it. Leave the Mods to do their job. Gholi ask a question next time please otherwise post it in the boast sticky.

These sort of posts annoy me. You seem to be a great preflop player though so keep it up.
