played the 30k last night on pokerstars, monied in a creditable 399th of a 4000+ field. had aces early and they held for once to get me strong for a while but the hands dried up after the 1st hour and it took me playing very aggresive in position to steal my way into the money. anyone else moved over to pokerstars?

Split pot, no bad thing. If that's your worst bad beat then count yourself lucky, come back when you lose with quads or a straight flush (I've done the later not the former).

I play on Full Tilt and on Victor Chandler.

In the tournement I mentioned above I was chip leader at one point and then it fell apart. First I had AA and got beat by a straight. I then had AK and a guy went all in, I called and he had AA, needless to say it held up for him. This reduced me to about 5,000 chips with an avarage chip count of 9,000. I then scraped around for a bit picking up a few small hands and then the straight/full house incedent happened. I had monied in my previous three tournements before this (I came 74th and it was top 40 to get payed, 250 approx entrants). The other night I made the final table (7th) in a guranteed $4000 tourney to get a couple of hundred £.

I've lost with a straight flush before. I think it was 7h 8h 9h 10h and something else as the community cards and I had the 6h. Needless to say another guy had the Jack.

The other night I had one go my way though. I had A 10 and the flop brought 5 10 10. I raised and the other bloked pushed all in. I presumed he to had a 10 and I had him out kicked so made the call. Of course he had pocket 5's. The final 10 came on the river.

Had a bad one the other day, i had aces vs kings vs some donks king 6. The only king left in the pack appeared and i ws duly dispatched on the bubble.

I occasionally venture on to full tilt, but i prefer stars as the layout is about as good as your gunna get and it plays well.

Oh and if we are talking about highest hand to lose with i will throw my king high straight flush out there!!!!

Losing with quads not always a bad thing

$250,000 bad beat Jackpot

I have lost a fair few pots with a full house before

Well, it is really when you're a big favourite.



Both actually. But thanks for caring.

The thing to remember is, it's now what cards you've got, it's the possible cards others have got. Learning the odds will lead you a big way

Play pretty much every day online at night and weekend. Average weekly earnings are about £250-£300 a week from 2 hours a night/2 hours a day at weekend.

We should get a game going one night.

Sorry, i will dwell on my worst bad beat forever and not talk about poker again until i get a worse one

I just went all in with a 77 lucky for me the next 3 cards were 7QQ

and i won 105682 chips, i love full houses me



The other guy called with a hand of 28

not that im complaining



Although its just hit home that im not playin for real money

Hence the reason why he called with 82.

I'm currently having another bash at winning Matusow's book and doing rather well.

I know mate im trying to work my way up to the big leagues if im gonna lose money i would rather know why

GRRRR just suffered a bad one on stars. Cheeky call in the SB knowing the guy next to me would raise no matter what he has, duly he did and i called with ace 3, flop comes ace high i check he raises, i re-raise. any of us who play and know what we are doing would realise with my big re-raise i have hand. He re-raises me all in and i call. He has queen 9, queen high. turn queen, river queen.

bad day today

lost 250,000 chips on 1 hand

lol i had pocked aces all in get called off somebody wit king 10 of hearts flop comes ace of clubs 2 of diamonds Jack of hearts. Thinking yes lol

turn comes Queen of hearts. Starting to worry about the flush

river comes Ace of hearts that leads too the keyboard smashing into the wall lol. Ihate Poker :@

This is what happenswhen you play against a donk. I try not to dwell it on it too much, no matter how much it annoys you at the time!

The best buzz for me playing poker is when the flop comes and you have an ace hand, like, you hit a full house on the flop. You limp in when someone raises. Turn comes again, he raises even more, again you limp in. He thinks you are on the draw. River comes, you cant lose. Again he raises for even more. This time you hit him with an all in. BANG! You watch his timer go down and down cos he doesnt know wtf to do. Everytime they will call because they cant walk away after commiting so much money

Yeah unfortunately i cant afford to play at a high enough level to be away from these kinds of players, he apologised after the hand saying it was a bad bluff. NO SHIT!!! Played a couple more games after it and played well only to get drawn out on, could feel my head going so walked away

Anyone recommend any good online poker sites? I used to be a regular on labdrokes but since I've had my crappy internet 3 mobile broadband thingy, I've not been able to play on them due to dodgy connections. Now that I'm in the world of wireless, I want to start back up and get by skills back, so any suggestions would be most grateful.



Want to start with free chips, and then in time, work my way up to blowing my monthly salary in one night!



Cheers.

Ultimatebet has a 110% sign up bonus if your wanting free cash. The 2 main ones are Full Tilt and Pokerstars. Im currently playing stars though im serioulsy starting to lose patience with it, i know beats etc seem worse over the net but the drawing out on the site is ludicrous at times
