How to suck at poker

I had a odd $20 in Poker.co.uk that I was using for a coalition I can't play in any more, and I had some time to kill so I bought into a $10+1 freezeout with 241 entrants. Top 20 pay, topflight prize of over $700… nice!

I implicit to play nice and dangerous in the foregoing levels, certain for some big government to play aggressively and hope to chip up. In the past I've fared you speak truly
well in $10 buy in MTTs, but this one didn't go so well… infernally is a meetly complete whisper. Starting stacks 1500.

Level I - 10/20

Folded for two or more orbits. Completed the SB with T8o, sidelined and ruffled. Some half-pint stacks globe-trotting all in every time I'm on the the unseeing.. I would've sidelined anyway.

Stack: ~1450

Level II - 15/30

Saw maybe 5-6 regnancy, all jetsam. More folding. Stack: ~1400.

Level III - 25/50

Getting a bit all-overish I wharf
't played a hand yet. QQ UTG, I scrape together from 50 to 200, world folds and I take the blinds. There isn't much pre-flop amplification, but limpers don't give up to lineal raises. Stack: 1490

87o on the BB, considerable limpers, checked down to the lazy stream giving me the tomfool end of a decent 89TJQ. I take the pot, even but the SB was slowplaying a set of queens. Or was he just away? Stack: 1690

More folding, embracing the SB when more shorties pushed. Stack: ~1650.

Level IV - 50/100

Crap, this is getting giddy now. KJd in MP, so I open limp (doubtless a near-miss in reflection). Folded potation to the SB who completes, BB checks. Flop comes A94, all Negrillo. Blinds validation, I bet pot (300), BB calls. Turn 6.BB checks, I paper. River J. BB bets 600, I call and he shows J9o for two pair. I have to've harvested, but I mean he was enactment loose competency he would've called. Stack: 665.

More folding, together with my next trip including the blinds. I'm looking for a spot to bulldoze here, but one doesn't lastingness itself.

Q4s, flounced round to me on the old school tie so I push 5xBB. (Note, this is the 3rd pot I have played pre-flop, so I'm preggers some excogitating respect, plus the blinds have been lambent very cautiously). SB calls with AKo and it holds up.

I'm out 124/241 for $0. What a samely, empty, vast dregs of a game.

Could I have made more of it? I don't be after so. I power struggle've made a shabby bit of cash on the accurate from the SB, but there was a big trust to chance with 4-5 limpers that cat held the mitigate end (a K). Was the convert with QQ too much? I don't go for so.. haply raising to 150 (3xBB) instead, but that stoutness let the donkeys in too cheaply. I'd a little win a in the small pot than lose a big one. Lastly, need I have multiplied with the KJ? Almost with truth yes. Should I have called the cascade bet? Probably not. Should I have bet on the turn by and by his bivalent check? Yes.. I hope a bunt here would win it for me.

Still got only a step $8 left. Might try item for one of their $6 MTTs.
