How to Abuse Your Luckbox

[EvilWeenie]

I know we've all whined about bad beats and suck outs.
Well, there's always someone on the receiving end of those hands and sometimes it's me.

Here's what happened on three successive hands to take out the last three opponents:

Now, keep in mind that these were the last 3 hands (in a row) of the tourney.
If you're gonna win, go ahead and destroy their very will to go on.

[RichardCronier]

I want to have your baby.

[EvilWeenie]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

[EvilWeenie]

I couldn't really put the one guy on a flush draw and the other guy was just uber aggressive:

and then toward the end there came this little gem:

[FISHLANIER]

Awesome Weenie, You can’t learn that from a book.

[BlindGuy]

Sigh @ opening this thread and not seeing pornographic instruction.

[EvilWeenie]

Sorry, but as an online player, you'd have to admit that hitting those hands would give anyone a chubby to make any porn site jealous.

[EvilWeenie]

Sometimes you just have to trust in your inner luckbox. Like on this, the very first hand of a tourney:

Table 1 - 15/30 - No Limit Hold'em - 6:17:25 ET - 2009/01/02

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 4,530 | Rake 0
Board: [7c 6s Ks 5h 4h]
Seat 1: aldrigo60 (small blind) showed [Ah As] and won (4,530) with a pair of Aces

Seat 4: travsniper showed [Kh Qd] and lost with a pair of Kings because he way overvalued a weak hand way too early.

Seat 5: Kappa57 showed [Kd Js] and lost with a pair of Kings cuz he's an idiot.

Seat 7: EvilWeenie didn't bet (folded what would have been the Ace-crackin' nuts)


Somehow, I think I'd have lost anyway cause this guy was sitting on 3 or 4 luckboxes today:

Table 1 - 20/40 - No Limit Hold'em - 6:24:57 ET - 2009/01/02

*** HOLE CARDS ***

LeBronik2008 shows two pair, Aces and Sixes
aldrigo60 wins the pot (2,970) with a full house, Queens full of Sixes
LeBronik2008 stands up
*** SUMMARY ***
aldrigo60 is a total luckbox. What more of a summary do you need?

When you're hot you're hot. When you're not you're Nate. This guy is invincible. If he doesn't crack your aces, he'll tie them. Knowing that this guy is a very aggressive player (but forgetting about the horseshoe in his ass), I chose to slow play a very big hand against him.

*** TURN *** [8d Ks Kc] [Kd] OK, there's no way he has a King here

*** RIVER *** [8d Ks Kc Kd] [Kh] Quads with top kicker. Good time to shove and get a call from an aggressive opponent with any two cards.

EvilWeenie bets 1,825, and is all in
aldrigo60 calls 1,825

*** SHOW DOWN ***
EvilWeenie shows [Ad As] four of a kind, Kings
aldrigo60 shows [Ah 3h] four of a kind, Kings
EvilWeenie ties for the pot (2,085) with four of a kind, Kings
aldrigo60 ties for the pot (2,085) with four of a kind, Kings
*** SUMMARY ***
Sometimes you just have to log off and go take a nap.

[EvilWeenie]

When you're hot, you're hot.

When you're not, you're Nate.

[EvilWeenie]

Sometimes you have to trust your dealer and your inner luckbox. If I hadn't just bluff/stolen the last pot with a suited Q-10 after folding for 20min., I might have made a BS raise with my A-5 on the next hand UTG.

Of course the very next hand I make the mistake of getting it all in against an aggressive player with an inferior hand. A-7vs. 5-5 and he catches his 7 on the river.

I know, I know.

[jirish35]

i honestly am always getting sucked out on. sometimes it is so gross. online poker is the worse. u know its coming too. u have like KK and are all in and will be called with something like 5/8. the flop comes like 7/9/rag.
i swaer that u can see the 6 coming and low and behold it comes. i knopw its poker and anything can happen. but it seems the worse hands win far way too many times more than dominant hands. it seems the percentages are flipped. and i have played far too many online hands where it should even out. but it doesnt. something is off with online poker. but i just love it too much and cant stop playing no matter how frustrated i get.

[EvilWeenie]

I misread Clay and called his all-in on the turn. The rest, as they say, is history.

[EvilWeenie]

It doesn't get much worse than that.
