My condolences Matty. I'm convinced that the Anna Kournikova hand only produces winning results when held by opponents. As Doyle says, it's still a drawing hand.

I feel for you. I'm convinced all online poker is set up to bust players out faster. They do this to build the pots to rake and move you out of the tournaments on to the cash tables.

rofl, you're not serious are you? Anna K. also produces winning results when idiot donks a) fold to the pre flop raise which should've been bigger and b) when idiot donks fold on the flop because they have sh*t for a kicker. Not that the hand should've gotten that far. I'd be worried about that flop if I were you Matty, a lot of hands and some donk hands in particular have you beat on the flop. Not saying I'm laying it down but yeah.

Yes, I believe online poker is set up to make the business more money. You would think that they make enough money as it is, but it's never enough.

this is ridiculous.....end of.

Unlucky Matt, thats a pretty annoying hand, but on that flop I'm not a massive fan of my AK anymore.

Agreed. I was a little bit worried about AQ, but he'd have reraised the flop if he had it. I wanted him to think I had AQ... but the K2 Sooted is teh Strong. And yes, maybe I should have reraised more preflop, but I think I want this guy to play long term, don't I?

Tbh his play was awful, and you got unlucky and yeh ofcourse you want him to play long term.....I may join you with giving up online poker, I have had people calling me down all the way with bottom pair and rivering trips today more times than I care to think about.......Downswings suck

Raise larger preflop.

And LOL at the guy talking about rigged poker.
They get their rake either way.

Just for posterity, how much more (or to what total) should I have raised?
