Message: [QUOTE="smoovebrutha, post: 1226391, member: 54384"] I can't seem to avoid it. The past three days I have been posting the dumb losses I've been suffering in tournaments. No matter if it's cash or freerolls, people continue to call my preflop raises, and catch cards on me. This is an example: PokerStars Game #29896064245: Tournament #168309071, Freeroll Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2009/06/28 19:39:45 PT [2009/06/28 22:39:45 ET] Table '168309071 48' 9-max Seat #9 is the button Seat 1: talnet (960 in chips) Seat 2: jwright11 (1490 in chips) is sitting out Seat 3: racerarab9 (2050 in chips) Seat 4: lomikuss (2040 in chips) Seat 5: olimpero88 (1470 in chips) is sitting out Seat 6: EcclestonME (1350 in chips) Seat 7: Pingwin2311 (1430 in chips) Seat 8: Mmarques1971 (1570 in chips) Seat 9: smoovebrutha(1140 in chips) talnet: posts small blind 10 jwright11: posts big blind 20 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to smoovebrutha[Tc Th] racerarab9: folds lomikuss: calls 20 olimpero88: folds EcclestonME: folds Pingwin2311: folds Mmarques1971: folds smoovebrutha: raises 230 to 250 talnet: folds jwright11: folds lomikuss: calls 230 *** FLOP *** [6d 7h Qd] lomikuss: bets 520 smoovebrutha: raises 370 to 890 and is all-in lomikuss: calls 370 *** TURN *** [6d 7h Qd] [3s] *** RIVER *** [6d 7h Qd 3s] [8d] *** SHOW DOWN *** lomikuss: shows [2d 5d] (a flush, Queen high) smoovebrutha: shows [Tc Th] (a pair of Tens) lomikuss collected 2310 from pot *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 2310 | Rake 0 Board [6d 7h Qd 3s 8d] Seat 1: talnet (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 2: jwright11 (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 3: racerarab9 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 4: lomikuss showed [2d 5d] and won (2310) with a flush, Queen high Seat 5: olimpero88 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 6: EcclestonME folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 7: Pingwin2311 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 8: Mmarques1971 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 9: smoovebrutha(button) showed [Tc Th] and lost with a pair of Tens how in the hell does he make that call preflop, and how in the hell does he put me all in on a damn flush draw? If I call he goes all in anyway. There's no way to avoid this unless I put my whole tournament life this early on 1010. And chances are he calls anyway. I've grown rediculously angry over this. Twice I had AA and someone went over the top of me with K8 suited all in and caught flushes to eliminate me. I just don't know what I can do different. No matter how much I raise preflop someone always limps in and catches cards. Earlier today I had QJ. Raise preflop on the button 5x's bb. Guy limps in preflop. Flop is KQ3. He bets, I raise just to see where I was, he calls. He checks the turn as it was a 4, I bet the pot, he calls leaving him with a 5th of his stack left. The tournament just started and we have 1500. The damn turn is a j giving me 2 pr. Guess what the hell he flips over. 10 fricken 9 off!! WTH!!! No exageration this has been happening for 3-4 days straight in a total of probably15 tournaments I've gotten donked out on and I dont know if its how I'm playing, how I'm raising or what. I really need advice here because I know I'm a good player. I'm usually in the last few hundred of 10k+ people tournaments, and I have a good understanding of the game. I just need to know what I can do different because this has to stop.:( :confused: :( [/QUOTE]
