downswing

Yes, bad news for our two players over there: Ms. Pink and Mr. Blue. Especially Ms. Pink had her first downswing this week: down from $171 to $132.

She had a bad run on ‘her’ territory: the 9 handed $5 sng’s. After that she decided to have a shot at the 180 handed sng on Pokerstars ($5). That didn’t go that bad, she was coming close to the money but was getting shortstacked. Pocket ladies are welcome at that point:

Not funny if you played two hours to end up like this… It also looks like the party at Mr. Blue’s house has come to an end: he’s down to $205. He tried some MTT’s again after his last cash out, without much success. Then he was close to a win in a sng with 18 players, when he had a deep stack and got aces:

So that guy could dodge bullets and Mr. Blue ended up as runner up in that tournament 8) . Meanwhile Mr. White is happy he finally has some bankroll and can play the $10 sng’s, which he did pretty well, leading the challenge with $279. I also had a good run and was able to upgrade my bankroll from $173 to $218, playing a mixture of hu-games and 6 handed sng’s.

Well that’s very nice for him, but the most important news first: Mr. White is back on top of the rankings with a bankroll of $144! I had a little downswing last time, but I recovered pretty well from it. I stayed very focused and only played single table sng’s ($5) for a while, in which I made some nice cash.

I was even more cheered up when I heard that our lovely Ms. Pink had a little downswing by herself, leading to a bankroll of only $105. She’s not even on second place anymore, since Mr. Brown seems to have had a sick luck-run on the $6 (turbo) hu-tables, leading to $118 at the moment. When I saw some hands, I realised how unfair poker sometimes can be, look at this one for example:

So these are the landmines you have to avoid when playing a solid game. Subsequently I saw how some people apparently just donate their chips to their opponents on those hu-tables:

According to Mr. Brown, his ‘loose aggressive image made the other player pay off this hand’. Sure, J5 is the perfect hand to punish some loose luckbox with… (btw, Mr Brown, in the last post, losing with T7 against KK is a bad beat?! Hey, not calling with this junk will save you from this cruelty man.) Meanwhile Mr. Blue is still comfortably living in last place, altough it looks like he recovers a little bit from his missed start: $72. Btw, happy New Year everybody ;) .
