Bodog's Ridiculousness (tourney)

I've always theorized that the big stack always gets some kind of advantage.  Here is a great example of that on Bodog.  I think as long as you have the big stack, you'll tend to get lucky.  Just don't bluff and wait for the cards.

The Board Pairs on River (tourney)

BAD BEAT

I had this guy and put all my money in knowing he would probably call. He needed a ten or for the board to pair. He had six outs and Lady Luck screwed me again. Oh well, at least I can still play online poker even though I doubt I'd ever get any of this money that's on UltimateBet.

Another Flopped Quads (cash)

Just another flopped four-of-a-kind but this time with two players.

Another Nasty Beat (cash)

BAD BEAT

I felt like I had the best hand against this guy so I called, trying to lessen the blows of a raise and trying to keep the pot from getting too large. My instincts were good because it turns out my opponent had the usual two outer that somehow ends up in his favor.

No Limit Fold 'em (cash)

I'll admit it. I'm proud of this fold. I could have gotten sucked into it and over-valued my set. But I let it go and I'm happy the board didn't pair.

How Long Will This Last? (cash)

BAD BEAT

I had a bad feeling about this hand when this guy called my raise and my bet on the flop. I felt like he might have a set or something and might have turned a boat. So I played cautiously. But I was right after all - he did have a boat. It's just that he got lucky. I'm beginning to hate this fucking game.





Then, when I make the correct play and fold (though I probably have to check the math here), Lady Luck grants me the card I need. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe to get lucky, you just have to play bad sometimes?

Unlucky with Kings (cash)

BAD BEAT

Talk about a losing streak. I've gotten my money in with the best hand on this FTP Rush Poker a few times now and I just can't seem to get a break. At least this one didn't happen on the river.
