Do you think that sometimes you can play terrible and still win a tournament? I entered a freeroll on Party Poker yesterday to win a seat in the 50 seat frenzy and i kept calling 3bets and 4 bets with junk and kept hitting. At one point i was so far clear at the top of the leaderboard, i didint play an hand for an hour and just coasted to the win. Playing terrible works!!

Maybe "freeroll" has a lot to do with it Though sometimes when you aren't that bothered about playing you play much more adventurous and once you get a big stack your confidence and performance starts to make your opponents play with caution/fear,leading to more chips for you. All you have to do now is bottle that way of playing and enter some big tournaments and play exactly the same way. Let us know how that turns out
I also remember a tournament where in EVERY pre flop all in confrontation won the worse starting hand, so I have seen 3 times in a short time aces cracked by some junk. Was fun until I had the aces and was busted.

It happens some times. How do you think they do it all these that every one is whining here, when they are losing from players calling with any cards they get. Now maybe in some other forum someone is whining about the beats from you

The fish play like that all the time. The thing is it never last long, if it did we would all play like that. I know what you mean through last time it happened to me it was like i did not have to try and all my hands hit. I did not mean to do it I think I was day dreaming or some thing, wish i gould turn it on again.

winning is everything- it doesn't matter how one achieves it. the name of the game is win more than you lose- that makes you a winning player and then you can call yourself a poker pro. no one cares how you win (ugly, 99% luck, using rigged software etc.) as long as you win- if you have any harassment, you can say: fcuk off- i am winning. are you?
