[R Deckard]

This is almost just a typical whining, bad beat post, with long hand histories. So be forewarned. Although, if you have any constructive comments on my play, please provide them. I know my post-flop play leaves much to be desired.

Anyway, one reason I'm posting this is I haven't played online in many months, because I lose too much money. So I signed-up today on PS just to play in our Chiptalk tourney, and figure I might as well try to refresh my skills and work off my deposit bonus. Well, guess what, I have lost like $100 in less than 20 minutes!
