One for the "It's Rigged" Brigade

[phaul]

So Machine, the fact that I turned $25 into $250 in under 2 weeks is just luck?

Unless you were playing a proper bankroll strategy and so properly putting in the volume, then yes. Regardless of how completely awesome you are.

This thread is so completely ridiculous it astounds me. Machine, NO-ONE CARES IF YOU LOST X HANDS WHEN YOU WERE Y% FAVOURITE. STFU! VARIANCE HAPPENS. EITHER ACCEPT IT OR QUIT.

lol, i liked it. i really thought i was ahead preflop though, until you insta-called.
you 3bet me 3 times before this hand and i folded. i had to take a stand, bad timing for me and unlucky for you.

but WTH, you still won the SNG.

Phaul,

Yes it is a bit rediculous and you are probably right, noone cares. I post for 2 reasons:

1. I need some outlet to whine at someone... to blow off steam I guess
2. Just want to show that this 2 outer crap happens to me day after day after day, several times a day. And the odds just don't add up... If you get sick of hearing it, you would really get sick of it if you were in the hand!

But at least some of the others are posting even worse beats so I feel better.

But, to acknowledge your point, I will quit whining about bad beats. It is obvious they happen and not only to me, and nobody likes a whiner.

Yes paul, I've been using a 20 BI rule for HUSnGs (with shots allowed at certain bankroll requirements) and $1/$2 MTTs depending on how my day has been (only allowed to play $2 if I am +3 on my win/loss for the day). my shots can't exceed more than 10% of my roll, unless my +profit matches the level I am taking a shot at AND I am playing with a good mindset, with no critical errors.

I am currently playing $11 SnGs on a 34 BI BR.

Here's my stats (all the tourneys are turbos):

At $2 6max, I was a slight loser with -10%RoI, I was ITM 31%

At $11/$22 6 max: I have 25% RoI, with an Avg profit of $3.41. ITM 37% with 25% being 1st place.

At HU:

$2-$6 NL HUSnG: 11% RoI, with Avg profit $0.49, ITM just over 60%

$11-22: 22% RoI, $3.08 Avg Profit, ITM 63%

Overall in my HU (This includes Omaha, Razz, Stud Hi..etc): 20% RoI, with Avg Profit being $1.65 and my ITM is 60% (Alittle lower than I want but I am still beating rake by at least 5%).

at MTTs:

I am showing 165% RoI, $5.01 Avg Profit ITM 14%

Of course, most of my sample sizes aren't near 1K games total, yet, so the RoI (Espically for the MTTs) is off and that one is completely not attainable over the long term. Some will come down over time and as I move up in levels.


So yea, completely rigged, I am a donkey and they let me win

All i gotta say to that is
