Lame. Been getting some beats this weekend... Got deep in a 27-man 1$ only to catch out a button raiser all in, my AK vs his A7. He hits trip 7s...

Still, only lost like $3 so playing nice and carefully.

It's sooooooted.

I appear to be running slightly possibly bad, maybe.

JJ < 55
AA < JJ
QQ < AQ
AA < JJ

Oh and I flopped trips when some guy limped in the SB, but he flopped the FH. lol gg

:( unlucky Sykes, but you got your chips in good, as you kept telling me on my run :P

I'm playing a £3 9 man SnG tonight, hoping to come back with the top prize, would be a decent boost to my balance.

Yeah, I know Nova, just gotta keep rolling with the punches. The fact that my only reaction was to shrug my shoulders and look at the lobby bodes well for the future.

Yeah. I just had a weird hand too. I was BB, guy in front of me was massive chip leader and a calling station. Anyway, I have 98, so I check. Flop is JJ8, so I figure I'm ahead, and make a bet. He calls. Turn is a queen, I call a bet of his. River is a 10, giving me a 8-Q straight. He goes all in on the river (?), I call and he turns over J8 :|

No. I didn't post about it because I know I will be too busy for it. I guess you'll have to wait another week. :(

This the funkiest run I have ever had. I got 4,7 suited in the big blind and checked my option. Cards come down 2-4-7 - so I bt the pot, someone comes with me, next card is a 6 - I'm still not worried. Bet out again, get called. Last card is a 2 - I check, he puts a big bet in. He can only beat me with a 2 or 3-5 offsuit....and hes got sodding 3-5 offsuit.

:fp:

Thats crippled me down to near nothing. Two hands later, I get ACES! Two go all in infront of me. I duley call! AA vs KK vs QQ. Queen on the flop.

:(

I wish I had one of these tracking things so I could show you how bad I'm running at the moment, its absolutely sick.

EDIT -

Just lost an all in 10s against 7s. 7 on the turn. I have literally won about 1 of my last ten all-ins, its just so sick. I'm so fed up of poker. I know its not meant to get to you, but this is a ridiculous run now.

Ack... just crashed out of my home game. I was only doing ok, a double up would have me right up there, so what better hand to do it than with aces right?

I see the short stack to my left in the SB, he certainly looks like he'd shift all his chips in (he looked at his cards early, so he had a readable expression). Anyway, I thought I'd just raise to get him to go all in. He does, and I call. QK vs AA

Flop is 269. Turn is a 10. River is a Jack :lol: OUCH!

Any word on High Stakes Poker S05 E02? It should have been on YouTube yesterday. :(

It's on PokerTube but they split their videos into four separate parts and fail in general.
