I don't even want to know what mine is. I'm down several hundred.

I'm about to start a tourney on CD poker if anyone is interested in playing.

by **Shrykespeare** Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:16 am

I'd love to, but I'm going to be without my home computer for the next couple of days.

by **BarcaRulz** Fri May 08, 2009 2:00 am

Having a good run this morning on CD. Won 2 sit-n-gos and placed second in another. Up $35 in profit.

We need to play against each other guys.

I'm playing right now at a table on poker stars and a guy has the exact same avatar as brockman. Had to mention it. And I just got a straight flush Very Happy

by **geezer9687** Tue May 12, 2009 10:49 am

And 5 hands later, I hit the same straight flush AGAIN! Had the A2 of spades, got the A through 5 Straight flush. The odds of that are astronomical.

by **geezer9687** Tue May 12, 2009 3:46 pm

That tournament just ended for me, with me in 7th place.

Some statistics:

Started at Midnight. I played for 6 hours and 40 minutes.

$2.20 entry fee, 2174 entrees, as I said, finished 7th.

Prize of $121.75

I'll take it!

by **BarcaRulz** Wed May 13, 2009 1:31 am

Well done Geez. 7th from 2174 people is great.

I've been having some very bad luck recently. It can actually be compounded on a single hand that happened like a week back.

Sit-N-Go tournament top 2 get paid. 3 players left. One person out in the clear lead with double my stack and the 3rd players stack (we had pretty equal stacks, he was a little more than me).

I get AA. Raise 4xbigblind pre flop. Big stack folds, other guy goes all in. I obviously call. He has A8. Basically, my thought process was YAY me. Then the flop comes:

4, Q, 5

Turn = 7
River = 6

That is fucking ridiculous. Who goes all in pre-flop with A8 off suit? Actually, i'm more pissed about him gloating afterwords, fucking wanker.

by **geezer9687** Wed May 13, 2009 1:41 am

Yeah, that's not a terrible shorthanded play, but its such bullshit luck. And he should know it and not gloat, but the Donkeys never do.

by **BarcaRulz** Wed May 20, 2009 12:15 am

Just got some VERY good luck to go my way:

I had AQ pre-flop suited. Last to act.

All fold except one who raised to around 8 times bb. I figure he has med-pockets, basically a coin toss. I call. Sure enough he has 88.

Flop = Q, 10, 8

I figure i'm screwed.

Turn = Q
River = Q

Thankyou very much!

So I try not to get too worked up over beats. I've seen every possible one. But I just lost over 20 dollars in a hand with Aces to Kinds because the bastard 2 outed me on the river. 20 to 1 favorite to win that hand and be up over 30 bucks for the session playing .10/.25 cent hands. That is a dream situation to have someone have kings when you have aces. And I get fucking raped. I could not be more furious right now.

Just finished 3rd out of 3402 on pokerstars in a $1.10 tournament. Made $238.15. The only hand I showed down and lost was the last one, was 16 for 16 to that point. Not a bad return on my dollar.

Oh yeah and Holy Shit that was INTENSE!!!!!!!

Don't spend it all on a fancy record player, err I mean, hookers and blow.

This is definitely your best avatar yet Buscemi.

Doing well in a Pokerstars Round 2. Right now I'm 23/150. We started with 5,101. If anyone wants to chat on there or watch or whatnot my name is Bill_Ross2.

by W Sun Jun 14, 2009 12:05 am

I took 55th place... Lost on a coinflip (slightly my advantage, I think).

I had 88
Guy had K9 hearts

flop was 346 with two hearts when the money went in the pot. Next card: King, I lose...

I'm up for that, depending on the time. We can bet our league dollars!

by BanksIsDaFuture Thu Jun 18, 2009 11:29 pm

I'm also down for a weekly game. I just started gettin into Hold Em and I play on PokerStars for free right now. I wanna get some practice before I start using real money.

by W Fri Jun 19, 2009 2:44 am

I'd play as well. I'm on Pokerstars as Bill_Ross2 and Full Tilt as Bill_Ross

I could download this triplejack.com deal if everyone agrees. The only time I can ever play is late, though.

by NSpan Fri Jun 19, 2009 5:16 am

late is better for me, too.. though, considering our international friends, i suppose "late" is relative..

by **BarcaRulz** Fri Jun 19, 2009 9:17 am

I'm definitely up for it. Been grinding out at the Casino (5 days in a row now) so would like to come up some non-drunk people with a stress-free game.

by **Shrykespeare** Sun Jun 21, 2009 12:23 am

I am SO FUCKING sick of Full Tilt. The thing is absolutely, positively, INCAPABLE of letting me win.

This is what happens on 99.9% of the hands:

1. I get crap and fold
2. I got a good hand and bet, and don't hit.
3. I get a good hand, hit top pair, and lose to a higher pocket pair.
4. I get a great hand and win, but everyone else folds pre-flop.

I've been in over 100 tournaments, and the most I ever won was $20. While donkeys play shit cards and get rewarded for it - flop straights, flushes, two pairs, trips, boats.

Every time I get pocket kings or queens, and ace comes on the flop, and someone ALWAYS hits. In fact, every time I get a pocket pair, raise and get one caller, one over always comes up, and the other player always has it.

Yeah, I'm whining, I know, but sometimes it seems that Full Tilt has put a curse on me, and I'm fucking tired of it. I'm tired of flopping a straight only to lose to a runner-runner full house to some yahoo who lucked into a chip stack that's double mine.

Where can I go where I can actually get a fair shake? Or are they all like this?

Just be glad you don't have my friends luck. In the past three days he has:

1. Seen his nut flush lose to runner runner straight flush.
2. Seen his nut flush lose to a full house on the river (after he went all in on the turn).
3. Had pocket AA, raised it to $50 pre-flop, 7 callers. Flop 7,9,2. He shoves all in, everyone folds except one cunt who has 6-10 off suit and he hits his straight on the river.
4. Seen his trips lose to higher trips on the river.
5. Seen his flopped straight lose to a runner runner flush.

Beyond ridiculous.
