I have a full house which i am sure most else did becaue 3 3's flop, I have jack king, final card K, so now I have a full with a king and 3's call the all in, he has K 3!!!!!!!!! I know one thing for ******* sure nothing of the sort has ever happened to me ever. Just sucks that in all these games people get so lucky but others get zero luck, WTF is the matter when you cant even win with a good hand. No one should ever complain about people auto mucking smartest thing that they could ever do because at least they know they cant get called and buried off a 3 6 off suit. cmon SBR stop being such a farce

[yisman]

My last two weekday cashes, I got no points out of. Rollover lost.

Bubbled again today. 23rd.

A7 vs. A9 lost, ok, but then AQ vs. A9 lost as well.

Could've cashed but with like 800 chips, blinds just had passed (think I was button), dealt 88. KalouKalou raised the 200 blinds to like 440 and I had to call. 88 lost to QK.

just bubbling or finishing in the teens and losing it all at ring tables anyway.

[frogsrangers]

Think I'm gonna cry after the 3:00pm tourney. It was only a few hands in and I switched back from my browser to the poker game and my touchpad just happened to register a left click right over the "Call Any" button. It also just so happened to be my turn in 1 second. So I bet nearly my whole stack with 5-2. Had to fold after the flop. Was pretty much toast after that. 38th place is my all time worst.

[yisman]

dealt KK early into 11 PM, 10/20 blinds, raise in early position to 100, zam77 calls. AQQ flop, I bet 400, he all-ins cards are killing me

[Hurls]

this is a fact, Lou Shari Blondie and whoever the **** else give cards to whoever the fuk they want at all times **** that if you cant win with a 95% hand then you are getting cheated, fact not theory

[yisman]

29th. 99 ran into someone slow-playing AA to finish me off.

It's amazing the way I can't win. I've been playing every day and I've fallen from the top 10 to like 150th in the standings.

[yisman]

managed to place, but lost 50 on the ring games.

39 in the bb at .5/1. Preflop raise to 1, half in, I call.

Flop 359. Two pair. I bet half pot, the centaur calls. Turn king, I all-in (more than 2x pot). centaur calls, he has a9.

River king.

[GaryDN]

This game can be brutal..... It can be fun as well, there are a great bunch of guys out here who really enjoy the company of our fellow players. A little joking, a little poker and alot of great sports conversations going on....

[yisman]

Maybe my luck is finally changing. I got lucky with 55 against PO's AA and caught a 5 on the turn.

[yisman]

with the help of some luck, I finished first!

Luck hasn't changed on ring tables, though. Went to play Lift Off, .5/1, was patient, waiting waiting. Got JJ in middle position, raised to 4x bb. Three callers. Flop 78Q. I bet it heavy. Two folds, spurginobili calls. I wind up all-in. He has A7, so he had the lowest card on the board paired, with ace kicker, against my JJ.

Turn clean, he rivers an ace.

So the last three "cashes" I had at tournaments, I rolled over exactly zero points. I was very close to completing rollover on the 7th place, too. If a hand would hold up for once instead of people calling and sucking out every time...

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

with the help of some luck, I finished first!

[yisman]

will update if I can roll any of the points over.

About halfway done, but lost most of the points.

[yisman]

ah thought I was headed for another cash. Was chip leader with like 3300.

But my AJ lost to texasmickey's A9. I raised 4x the bb but it wasn't enough. A9 on flop.

32nd. Also made a mistake because I was busy betting NBA and didn't un-register from the 9 in time. Packed house. 9 is usually better than 11 (on Monday only 30 played), but tonight 45.

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

Well... I got one for ya, yis. So effin frustrating. Continually got disconnected in 11pm and missed a shitload of hands trying to sign back on with no sustained luck (missed a good 15 minutes total). Card dead for most part when finally stabilized and worked a friggin wee stack and limped into final table (I had already considered that a small victory seeing I missed so many hands).

Started to get a lil mojo on FT (and didn't get disconnected!) until I go all-in w/ JJ, one caller w/77 and you know what happened: He rivers a 7 for ~13k pot.

That's not what upsets me, tho. Just "frustration icing" on the cake, if you will.

It's all the friggin DISCONNECTS. SBR poker software is the only program I have problems with. I stay connected to various websites so I'm not losing internet connection from my end.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled a coupla times to no avail. I know the poker software has historically had problems with Windows 7 (which I'm running on laptop) but it's a pain in the ass to drag out my old XP machine (well, I just don't want to) for points poker.

Oh well... fuk it.

[yisman]

My luck has turned.

Really bad beat to JAFO, who had KK against my KQ. I won on the river and it sucked. Knocked him out in 5th. Good news is he won real points.

[ireland1946]

Congrats YIS you played well today and deserve to win
seems like your Tourney Play finaly is changing around

sorry to hear it, I used to have disconnect problems but haven't had them recently. Some versions of Windows have more of an issue than others.

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

sorry to hear it, I used to have disconnect problems but haven't had them recently. Some versions of Windows have more of an issue than others.

Indeed.

Right after this frustrating incident I went and fiddled around a bit with some Windows settings and when I changed SBR poker program's "compatability mode" to Vista (Service package 3) -- I had dicked round w/some others -- it finally seemed to make things better. Running much more crisper for me (not stilting like I use to get a lot) so I can only hope it continues. Have not disconnected once since I changed to this setting.

Of course I'm NOT actually running Vista but if SBR poker likes when I say that I am it's cool w/me....

[yisman]

poker software must've been saving up the luck for me or something

aj beat aggieshawn's QQ
then A10 beat QuantumLeap's QQ

wow.

[beerman2619]

well got 13th today. Jake Peavy went all in with about 5500 pocket 10's i had about same chip stack called right away with pocket queens. Flop of course was 10 2 2 ah love poker guess luck wasn't on my side tonight.

[yisman]

surprisingly few in the 10 AM today. I went to register, but I didn't save enough points to do it.

[yisman]

finished 21st in 9 PM

thought I was safely in the cash.

A10 spades, empire slowplayed JJ. Flop was 10 and two low cards. Turn was another low card. He all-ined and I called.

[Hurls]

generally when you get lucky as a fat ******* pig rolling in dog shit HHsilver u dont bounce like a bitch. just general poker talk

[yisman]

hhsilver is a good guy, plays me HU sometimes

I was trying to play steve HU this week and this guy mcpicks kept following us around, not letting us play

[Hurls]

this is the worst sbr poker has ever been at, if I showed my hand for the last week it would sicken everyone unplayble vs pocket AA KK QQ all ******* day, no answers from anyone ever great pt broke FML no fun **** this place

[yisman]

the luck from last week didn't continue today.

Played Sunday 5 PM. Top 15 get paid. Rebought, had over 2500 chips with 16 left, figured I'm in good shape to cash and maybe get top 10.

Dealt AK and it ran into AA.

Then I got dealt a horrible hand, folded (only 85 chips left), and then the bb hit, putting me all in with 26o. Thanks dealer.

[yisman]

Couldn't find people to play me heads up to do random all ins so I had to do the ring tables. I got majorly screwed.

First we had my KK all-in vs. 88

The next one was against noted sketch artist john morrison

I had trips. Flush on the river

[yisman]

9 PM tournament, about 9:18, dealt AQc, I raise to 8x the blinds, figuring no one with crap would call.

boscokid calls. Flop comes, lower cards. I check, he checks. Turn comes. I bet more than half the pot. He calls.

He was holding 69s. Runner runner flush. Last three cards were actually spades.

I've seen a lot of awful play but calling an 8x preflop raise with 69s has to be up there.

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

Lotta people can't resist playing Big Lick.

... specially if it's twins.

[yisman]

finished 25th

66 lost to 77 and 99 lost to KK, but it was mostly the runner runner flush hand. Lost a ton of chips.

[yisman]

on another bad run now. No cashes this week.

Today, I had 55, flop 727, I all in (in fairness was only like 130 more chips), called by centaur's J10 offsuit.

He hits a 10 on the turn, river is a 2.

I was small blind that hand. Had my two pair held, I would've had a good chance of cashing with the blinds passed.
