My experience playing in the Sunday Million - Poker Stars

[yannaalvarez]

I have been playing sunday million since a couple weeks ago, and the last week I got $580 dollars with bounty, I haved 1,000,000 chips when I decided went ALL IN with a straight in the flop my hand was K-T and in the flop were Q-9-J.

Bad decition, because who call the all in was paying with A-K, and the card in the river was T.

Everything was amazing in the tournment until thats moment.

Good move, I would have done the same, unfortunately we are not able to guess the opponent's cards or the cards that will appear post flop

What bad luck in that final decision with the ladder but you have really made a great tournament, I have never played it yet. I congratulate you even though they are not final positions I think it was a great job you did

It's hard to say a bad decision or not without seeing the whole hand and knowing the size of the stacks, but with a straight on the flop, you hardly had a chance to throw your hand off. Unless you and your opponent had 100 bb stacks, then this could be called a bad decision. In any case, you have gained experience and drawn conclusions for yourself.

Good morning.First of all, congratulations on your good performance in such a tough tournament.I think you were just unlucky in the hand you lost.That was a good opportunity to double up and maybe eliminate another player.

 

[Gallarado777]

if you have so many chips why go to the pot when you can add some to see the river and make sure you have a stronger hand after adding

Thank you so much, I encourage you to play, it's very profitable for the bounties

Thank you, exactly, we never know, we just guess! But another time, I won't risk all my chips!

Exactly, that's why I thought it was a bad decision because my opponent had more chips than me, and my hand was not invincible it could get worse on the turn of the river, how happened.

I totally agree with you. I got excited at that moment, believe me it won't happen again, it was a lesson learned.

So sorry I hope you won the next time!

Sunday Million is too big to win

Definitely was not a bad decision, but we all know that sometimes we make the right decision and still lose in the end, unfortunately it happens. But good luck in your next SM tournaments

 

[RustyRed83]

I don't think it was a bad decision, in fact I think the opponent made a very loose call. But as others have mentioned, without known the true situation, with stack sizes, blinds sizes, previous play, it is hard to give a proper breakdown of the hand.

 

[jleon_zat]

just bad luck happens to all of us but on the river an unfavorable card comes out and kills all the action

Congratulation. It's a good result.
Maybe you didn't have to go all-in with not the highest combination against player with bigger stack. It's just my opinion. I didn't play on this level yet.

Hi, friend!
My first experience with the Sunday Million was not very successful.
I thought that I would play according to my schedule strictly according to strategy, but it turned out that it was not what I thought. The buy-in put a lot of pressure on me and it got to the point where I limped, folded good pairs with top kickers and afraid to be aggressive. After a while you get used to such tables and start playing your game, but my first experience was like this)
Good luck at the tables and have a nice weekend)
