Hey! Ive just started playing again on PKR.com, played sunday 20k few days ago and cashed there, but not so deep as I would of wanted, then played some sngs and came second in one Terminator tourney what gave me little less than couple hundred$ more to start playing better tourneys.
Today I found some time to play a tourney - Terminator - regular 2k stack and 10 min blinds - my favourite game when it comes to lower buy in 11$.
Now to the point - I know well that terminator tourneys are full of fishes, but when it comes to regular 10 min terminators with deeper stack, its pretty much ok, but check how this Frenchie plays his hands, and that was not the only suckout he made in that tourney -
I found in this stadium theres only fold or all in, so no reason to flat. Final table -
Table # - Tournament # Table #4 Starting Hand #1300060281 Start time of hand: 04 May 2010 15:20:39 Last Hand #1300058483 Game Type: HOLD'EM Limit Type: NO LIMIT Table Type: TOURNAMENT Money Type: TOURNAMENT CHIPS Blinds are now $150/$300 Button is at seat 5 Seat 2: prakulj (bounty value $6.20, bounty won $4.80) - $16,315 Seat 3: Kjoterpakk (bounty value $6, bounty won $4) - $5,550 Seat 4: MaryJB (bounty value $5, bounty won $0) - $5,345 Seat 5: hildib (bounty value $8.40, bounty won $13.60) - $11,030 Seat 6: TheBarber48 (bounty value $7, bounty won $8) - $2,795 Seat 7: Easyjohn (bounty value $10.40, bounty won $21.60) - $6,865 Seat 8: HERO (bounty value $7.44, bounty won $9.76) - $5,410 Seat 9: timba70 (bounty value $5, bounty won $0) - $2,500 Seat 10: matbird (bounty value $9, bounty won $16) - $14,190 Moving Button to seat 6 prakulj posts ante of $25 Kjoterpakk posts ante of $25 MaryJB posts ante of $25 hildib posts ante of $25 TheBarber48 posts ante of $25 Easyjohn posts ante of $25 HERO posts ante of $25 timba70 posts ante of $25 matbird posts ante of $25 Easyjohn posts small blind ($150) HERO posts big blind ($300) Shuffling Deck Dealing Cards Dealing [Tc Td] to HERO timba70 folds matbird folds prakulj folds Kjoterpakk calls $300 MaryJB raises to $1,200 hildib folds TheBarber48 folds Easyjohn calls $1,200 HERO raises to $5,385 (all-in) Kjoterpakk folds prakulj cheers.

lol, and he finished the tourney 6th place . Otherwise I like playing cash against french, because there I can always take it back, but when it comes to tourney and final table, it hurts a little to go out like that, because Im pretty confident I would of gone deep in thatone.
Well atleast I have paid my suckout fees to pkr, hope its generous to me from now on

------------ Kristan are u joining in for the BRM tourny on Pstars?
When is it held mate? I cant really play tourneys much lately, because my missus is pregnant and last 2 weeks are running, so I might have to drive to hospital any day now !
But later on I will definately play with you guys, when you organize more BRM tourneys!

Yea man haha. They are old school players back in times where rng was rigged actually and every ace rag and low connector won preflop, evev when it was 3 handed lol. And they continue to play like that nowadays and sometimes they do get lucky damn fronks
Ouch thats pretty sick.... but i guess pretty standard for the French poker players I always love having these types of droolers on my cash tables (theyre not just french, but i have noticed ALOT of french players playing this same way)... cuz even if they suck out and end up with a big stack, they will pay off sooo many of your made hands until your the one with the big stack Having them on ur table in MTT can be troublesome, 1 suckout and your gone...

its jut a KO tourny pokerstars and full tilt have them, Pstars has them in the sng section and and they also have a scoop $100k KO tomorrow cant wait this is the big one im going to win
they must have learnt it from their German friends who are equally bad.
On PS if I am in a ring game and a German sits at the table I get the hell out of there because they are so fishy you just know that they will call with any two suited cards every time and its only a matter of time before they pull off the sickest bad beat going.
So the lesson for today is avoid french or german players if you want your sanity intact.
