Ever feel like you didn't really deserve it?

    I won a home game last night, but the way in which I won leaves me thinking it was more of a fluke than anything else.

    I never play live except for these games but I always feel I have to alter my style to cope with the type of play. In these games there are always MILLIONS of limpers, a preflop raise rarely goes uncalled.....etc

    2 specific examples:
    No less than 6 limpers (not including the BB) and when the action is on the BB he minraises with what turned out to be A5o. Obvioulsy nobody folds.

    Early in the game and I haven't played a hand yet. I raise to 300 (5*BB) with JJ UTG+2. The SB who can be a good player, but likes to bluff a lot, raises to 1600. I think for a while and push. He thinks for a while and calls with 33.

    That was just to explain the dynamic of the game.

    Basically, it is imposible to get anyone off anything without an all in. So I basically just sit there and fire my chips all in when I get the chance. It's absolutely disgusting but it does work. After doubling up with the JJ, I went card dead and just sat there for an hour and a half.

    Then I found myself shortstacked and fluked a double up KTvJJ. I lost almost my entire stack on a massive bluff where I was almost certain the guy had nothing. I was down to 2 BBs and managed to get bacck to a medium stack with a big spate of all ins. Then my 77 held up against KT to double me from there and I eventually won.

    I just don't think I deserved to win though. I should have gone out JJvKT. When I was down to 2 BB, I should have been swiftly taken out. My 77 could have been beaten etc etc.

    Ever get this feeling?

    yep all the time

    was playing in college the other day and got that alot, got down to heads up with a bloke in my class who's poor and he got AA TWICE heads up on the two hands were i slowplayed trips and tptk, he just kept calling my raises which he normally does...

    i had to go all in nearly every hand as i was shortstacked then and was card dead and he still didnt call and i nearly got back into it b4 he got the other AA

    my advice would be to remember these days when you are they guy with aces being cracked twice, it happens and dont begrudge them.... also if he is just callign iwth aces he deserves to be beat. :) i won the fitz freeroll today and got my 270 tikcet and after being bad beat and bad beating somone i eventaully won it, but dispite the (rare) bad beat i gaev i still think i deserved to win as i had played well throughout...it just depends yon your outlook on the game as a whole. my 2c...

    I was outdrawn for my 2c, but here's what it looked like:

    There are going to be games that you deserve to win and will be outdrawn, and someone else in your situtation will win. Don't worry about - and if you ever feel overly empathetic for the person you robbed - just remember that they were trying to take your money ;)
