lol, limp-raise with JJ - committing nearly a third of effective stack-size, then folding. I don't know why you want to make this kind of thing public, aren't you embarrassed?

That's why I love to play vs. players from Australia.....nearly a third is 33% , I re-raise less then 23 % of my stack to fold to 2 allins, cause I was sure how it will end.....and I was RIGHT, as you can see.
The only embarrasing element here is your pathetic comment. You just don't accept the simple fact, that there is a POKER and there is a PokerStars poker.

Very well said mascona. I agree with you. I always fold (playing at PokerStars) when I hold JJ, because I know 100% for sure that my opponent has QQ and the other opponent has KK.

EFFECTIVE stack I said, dumbass. The effective stack was $1.70 and you had raised $0.50, NEARLY a third (29.4%).
THAT IS WHY I LOVE PLAYING AGAINST IDIOTS.

Believing you made the right choice because of the outcome (results-orientated) is equally stupid. The right decision is the one that makes you the most money in the long-run, not the decision that gets you the most profit in a single outcome.
By your reasoning - if you're holding 2,7 off-suit and your opponent is holding AA and he SHOWS YOU the AA before the flop and then shoves allin, well - by your reasoning if you call his all-in and manage to win the hand - then you played it correctly. That is a bloody moronic way of thinking about decisions in poker.
No wonder you're a complete loser who thinks the site is out to get him.

....Seems like a good time for another Polish Joke...
Two Poles emigrated to America.
On their first day off the boat in New York City, they spied a hot dog vendor in the street. "Did you know they eat dogs in America?" one asked the other. "I did not know that." "Well, If we're going to live here, we might as well learn to eat like Americans."
So they each bought a hot dog wrapped up in wax paper and sat down to eat them on a nearby park bench. One Pole looked inside his wax paper, then over at the other Pole and asked, "What part did you get?"

You know,....in an indirect way mascona,....you are implying that BankrollMob is conspiring with various poker websites to get folks to join and deposit cash into them so they can be cheated out of their money...
If it's a well known fact that this rigged poker is going on,....and the folks who run BrM are NO dummys and would know about this sort of thing,...then you are more or less saying that BrM are cheats too...
Hey,.....ANY time is a good time for another Polski O'Jokski...

Hey Mascona, did you google "Effective Stack size in poker" yet ??
It's crucial to making betting decisions and considering how long you've been playing the game for, if you're yet to grasp the concept, it probably goes a hell of a long way in explaining why you lose so much and end up creating negative threads like this all the time..
I noticed you just ignored my reply to your pathetic comeback.. Please do have a go with a reply, I'd love to hear your justification as to how I'm still the idiot, despite your lack of understanding of such a simple and fundamental concept in poker.

Go back to intelli and shine like a /poker/star with your wisdom there smart boy - maybe they will even give you a 5$ ticket for your work here.... You've convince me, I was wrong, PokerStars is Church of all gemblers and I'm sorry for all of us writting in this thread here..... We are not deserving to even touch a mouse when we are online at that wonderful ROOM full of miracles. Amen.
Your mission is complet, you can make a rapport now.
Why would you bother going to the effort of retrieving/posting this hand?
Super standard steal, you called - and lost. Do you know the percentages involved? you were ~65% to win.. Which means you win 2 out of every 3 hands.. Do you assume just because you're reasonably ahead you deserve to win the hand?
Do you even understand why there's nothing wrong with the shove?
If you consider how often he wins the pot pre-flop, when you both fold, he doesn't need a huge amount of equity if you call - to make it a good shove.. As it is, he has 34% chance of winning when you call - meaning you really don't have to fold to his shove that often, to make it a profitable shoving - considering if you call, he wins the whole pot a third of the time..
The fact that you post such a boring/standard hand like this (in the end-game of a SNG/MTT) shows far more about your attitude towards entitlement in a hand of poker, than it says anything about the sites and the cards dealt.

Posted by mascona: Look at the title of this thread first genius.
I'm well aware of the title of the thread, what is your point?
Every time you lose a hand that you're destined to lose a third of the time, you're going to post it into this thread as evidence of a rigged poker stars river card? You didn't even get your chips in on the turn, they went in pre-flop, hardly any relevance to the river card at all. In fact - you were well behind before the river, the turn pretty much killed your hand - leaving you with 4 outs (the 3 aces plus the 6). So you were actually hoping for a magic river, to save you. Maybe you should read the thread title, genius.
