So I'm playing in the BrM Tourney and the 100K tonight,...both starting at 9:00pm Eastern,...and as usual it's all the f'ing bingo queens and donks shove shove shove shove shove shove.....etc...except TONIGHT for some reason it's REALLY bad and I'm getting irritated with this s**t...
I didn't last long in the BrM before getting outed by some idiot playing junk...BUT...
Pretty funny in the 100K though...
It's ALWAYS the guy playing like an idiot, calling others names,...and typing out zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz when folks don't play the way HE wants them to... and you know these idiots almost ALWAYS put themselves out after ruining the game for other folks...
In freerolls, I generally play pretty slow. It sort of compensates for all the time wasted by idiots constantly shoving and playing bingo...and REALLY irritates the kind of idiots I'm talking about,....which I just LOVE doing...
This guy to my right is an a-hole and is playing likewise....so I REALLY slow down..... He then targets ME with the name-calling and the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Check how he plays in the first BOOM hand....
...a hand or 2 later after he's been badmouthing me, check what happens in the 2nd BOOM hand....lol......

i was pretty sure Jack would come on the river...or Queen at least- u managed to survive the magic poke3rstars river somehow there dawggy. btw i love all of that strategic, pro alike poker u can find in the 100k freerolls- guys going all in preflop with 10 3o...26o- wow it's like dwan vs blom
yeah playing slow in the freerolls especially the BRM ones is a very good strategy to make the money when half of the field is already gone but hey very often holding AA or KK is not fking enough in these games... I made countless times the money by using this strategy and even more when we are already in the money...

Demo, you are way too involved in these freerolls mate, i mean i personally i do not think it's worth to put that much soul in these games and the dnks that you can find there...
I think a more relaxed approach of these game could bring better results and also a LOT stress for you.

You have a point there,....something I consider quite often,...but the BrM leaderboard and 100K freerolls are ones WORTH playing in my opinion. There are other freerolls that are worthless,...but I make quite a bit of cash per month in the 100Ks,...and I've cashed on the BrM leaderboard once already and am on track for a 2nd cash this month...! I can usually tolerate the idiots,...but SOMEtimes they just get to me...
Tom Dwan.....? Yes.....he has turned playing like a donk into a million dollar career...

pretty good strategi for the freerolls, znoozing and playing slow, makes actulley players drop there focus and play dumber than they already are. Viva la grinders.
It's a little ironic that in the second hand the donk actually had something approaching a decent hand. Not a shoving hand, certainly, but worth playing given the action.
I'm like you in that I take my time in the BRM freerolls and can usually tolerate the shovetards but sometimes they get under my skin too. The problem is that when this happens it often disturbs my equilibrium for more than one game.

I like the advice here. I think I'm gonna give this a try. If nothing else I can get a little entertainment while putting up with the bingopoker while it lasts.
