The 10 8 was a bad beat sorry about that but there was no way I'm getting away from 3 8's and the river was ugly :oops:

I played quite bad this week but I think I was also a little unlucky. My AKs got beaten by J7 and then my TT got beaten by A2.

Sorry couldn't be there chaps, I was playing my usual poker game with mates. Just four handed tonight, I found myself on just 14 chips with the blinds at 3/6, but ended the session with a heads up to follow (it got too late). I'm on 120 chips, the other chap is on 136 (He stung me twice with a set of Kings in 4 hands), so we'll play that tomorrow.

Considering my best hand of the night was a 88, I played the players really quite well.

The 25 billionth hand will be played at pokerstars soon. Just 1.5 million to go.

Edit: Here is the 25 billionth hand. Confederate must be the unluckiest guy ever, he was sitting at the table waiting for the big blind to come round to him and so he didn't get dealt into this hand. Everyone who did get dealt in is guaranteed $25,000 and the winner of the hand gets $100,000 plus $50,000 in tournament entries.

I might play today... although I'm thinking of giving it a rest for a few days as I think I'm pretty burnt out.

So harsh.

He's just having a bad run. Super Tilt is when you haven't cashed in eight or more games.

PostRe: ***Offical Poker Thread*** by **Nova** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 4:38 pm

Yeah but he's been playing 50$ sit and gos. I didn't know he played those.

I'm playing two 1$ SnGs myself at the moment and just experienced something very very sick. I got AA, managed to get all in pre-flop against Queens, and held up, putting me on 2.9k. Next hand, I get AA again :shock:

I get my chips all in-pre-flop against AK and he rivers a A-10 flush, knocking me back to starting stack

I'm on super tilt because I've had a shite run. I play $22 mostly but some $33 and $55 if they are fishy. That's the first $55 I have played and not cashed in. It was super strawberry floating annoying that I opened up some games and my computer decided it didn't know my router. I was sat out for ages before finally reconnected only to get disconnected again. This strawberry floated up my four games including a $55 and $33. I resulting to 4 tabling on my laptop and had a gooseberry fool 4 games on there getting no hands apart from KK @ bubble and losing to A7. So yeah pretty tilting, not that I've done anything wrong or boomed up stakes. My computer seems *ok* and has managed to connect atm. I'm probably going to play some games before bed. On massive tilt anyway. Poker soc I make it to final 4 tables in a big £15 six max tournament. Get AA in BB. Some action and someone shoved. I call and he has AJo running a flush of hearts with the J. Some luck recently!

Also where the strawberry float is my email for points. Pokerstars. Pfft.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Well I just got knocked out of my 2$.75 tourney. I had AQ, hit my A on the flop with 77 there as well. I bet and he just calls, so I figure I have the best hand. I go all in on the turn and he calls, showing KK, before hitting his heart flush on the river

PostRe: ***Offical Poker Thread*** by **Rex McGee** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:59 pm

Don't worry Nova. I'm doing super in my games so far. Just lost half my stack in one early with second nuts vs nuts.

EDIT: Busto in that one now flipping vs a fish. He called with KJo to my shove...

In another I make top pair with A8 on a AK4 board. Some guy is betting so I call away to the turn and river which are 3 and K respectively. He had K3.

I'm not on tilt >_>

EDIT: AQ vs KK. Lovely....

None of us are running great atm eh?

PostRe: ***Offical Poker Thread*** by **Rex McGee** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:12 pm

Out of another. Short stacked KQ. All in and get called by AQ...

10 in a row...

Down for the session even if I win. I think I'm not going to play tomorrow.

I can't stop games I already have open. I opened 4 at once.
