Whats the point in playing....grrrr

[future2112]

Been playing a good game with 4 other players and playing for over 4 hours. then one leaves and new Italian player joins.

new player first hand all-in... second hand all-in.. third hand all-in... so i decide to call after everyone has folded since he joined. i call with AK suited.... you know whats coming next.. yeah.. he had 62 off suited and hit straight on the river. grrr... took all my chips...all the chips that i had played with for over 4hrs with respectable players.

i didnt want rejoin... and after that hand the other 3 players sat out and then the table was dead.

its so annoying that there are spoilers out there that have no consideration for others. ok, it might only be a pound or two but thats not the point.. the point is the players on the table i was with was having a very good game.... until this player joined and absolutetly ruined it for us all.

i like my weekends poker and search for a good table to play on for the evening. So when players come on and spoil it for all really pissess me off!.... its now 1.30am ish morning and i started my game at 8pm with 3 other players.. we were on the same table for whole duration until spoiled it.

fut..

lol....they are all trained in Sicily in one training centre..which teaches them to go all in every hand..lmao!!!! hence barely play the rings anymore..it seems sometimes its the same player playing from two different IP addresses..actually never know over the net whats going on..the best is to set up a game of SNG during the course of the tourneys where in you will find the quality players m8 as everyone on different time zones but atleast all some group up during the tourney times..cheers!!

It seems the only answer is to pre-arrange groups of friends to fill a table thus blocking out the all-in bores. You might as well sign up to a bingo site as play the rings, it's a crying shame that the rings are the only way to boost your chip stack, maybe a free chip bonus should be paid out for every hundred tourneys completed, this would make the rings less of a need and may well boost the numbers in the tourneys. After all this I suppose the money side is the only part that interests the powers that be.

i would have sat out after the first 2 all ins and looked to see if it was a pattern. seeing him/her carry on id either leave or wait for the others to KO him. if that didnt happen id hope he/she would get bored. with a bit of luck you made player notes so you will know for next time.

Very frustrating future....I've been there...I find patience with them very much pays off. Just need to recognize it and wait. But, when they run everybody off like you said it suks! I know that's not any answer, but I think a lot of us have been there.

thx for the encouraging words guys much appreciated. took a few days off from playing any sort of poker and feel much better now.

Ive been there many times, after a while i just sit out till some body wipes them out, they r very annoying specially when u r enjoying a nice game like u say Future.....but a lot get there just deserts sooner or later...

I do the same as Ace or I bide my time until I get a great hand and then go after them. Sometimes ya get lucky and sometimes ya don't. Yesterday I got lucky and won 2nd in the $200 cash game. Patience, patience and patience.

After a diabolical week on the tables I took the weekend off.
Just returned and things haven't got any better.
Every single time I had a decent hand my raise was called (usually with an inferior hand) and then I was beaten - usually on the river.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
How long will this run of bad luck continue, lost $20 in 30 minutes.

i dont think its bad luck, sandy, ive come to the conclusion that some players have more money than sense and £20 is like loose change to them. So betting with nothing isnt a problem for them. If all was equal im sure it wouldnt happen so oftern as it does.

Sometimes when im playing i honestly feel like im surronded by sharks and im just easy lunch lol.
