Heh, since there's no "Online stories and bad beats", the Online forum gets pounded with my incredible luck:

"mrpoker" had just been transferred to the table after someone busted aggro-donkey from his seat. Everyone else at the table has seen me play tight-aggressive poker. I have won 4/5 showdowns:

I mean... c'mon. I took a shot at his blind 'cause he was new and flopped a better hand. I bet it like a good hand, he calls along. That nasty flush draw comes, I push, he calls.

Sigh. Rigged.

edit: not to mention the fool on the button who had called raises preflop and floated the flop ALL GAME! Dude added $1300 to MY POT. MINE! Bastards.

edit again: YES, I WOULD have felt better if it was the flush that beat me.

I dunno, I could kind of see his rationale here if he put you on a big ace. Sure looks like you missed and c-bet.

[dad604]

Not surprise at the action. I see it all the time at the lower buy-in tournament. Too bad you got suck out at the river.

[smoore]

Yeah, yeah... and then he picked up the draw.... but what could he put me on when the flush hit?

Exactly two pair?

Given, it's a $1.10 tournament.

Thank you, I just wanted a hug and JM throws LOGIC in my face!

This is exactly why I gave up online poker for a while. so here's an online hug saying....f**k poker, let's have a drink

[99%evil]

Maybe he put you on AX and figured you were just continuing to bet, he had an overpair figred it to be good against AX.

OK, no real strategy to the post, I just wanted a hug! Thanks, dad604.

Get my money in right and no love... story of my life lately.

I know, I know, take some pills for the pussitis and soldier on.
