I don't give up. I'm determined to keep allowing them to rape me every time I withdraw. I dropped another $52 in MTT's. First one I got it all in with QQ vs another player that was playing almost every hand. He had AK. J8JAK

The second one was just sick and abnormal. Completely card dead throughout, I've won one pot the entire tourny that went to flop. Blinds are 60/120 and someone w/ 5000 limps, I push for 1130 with [Jd]. Opponent calls with [6c]. Now I've done something like this once at the final table when I was a huge chip leader vs a short stack. Here, there are 500 players left and he's risking a little more than 20% of his stack.
[6s][Td]

Oh really Full Tilt? 6 straight days of winning......2/3rds GONE in one disgusting night following my 2nd withdrawal.

Full Tilt is rigged.

It'snot rigged man. POker sucks.

Stop calling raises with A6s and you'll be great. I dont care if you are friggin Einstein. Just stop doing that.

STEAMING AGAIN Two hands at 2 seperate tables almost simaltaneously. At least I'm smart enough to quit after this and only lose $10. Thank god they're short stacks, but it's the principle of the damn thing.

Hand 1 - [6s] BB
UTG, MP, Button limpers
[Td][8s] Pot $2.25
I check, UTG bets $1, MP calls $1, Button (44/13/31 nit) all-in for $10.60, I min-raise to $20.20 and pray nobody has a better 8, UTG and MP fold.
Button [Tc]
Me - 91% favorite
Turn
River


Hand 2 - [9d] UTG
I limp, 3 more limpers, Button (very tight 19/3/14 lot of hands) raises to $2.50.
I call $2 and one limper calls $2
[7c][9h] Pot $9.25
I bet $4, limper calls $4, CO calls $4
Pot $21.25
I bet $15, limper folds, CO calls her last $13 and shows me [Ks]

Thank god they were short stacks of I'd need to contact ED's mouse and monitor guy.

Trivia Question: How many mother effin Kings are there in a Full Tilt deck?
A) 4
B) 20
C) Infinite #

EDIT: I neglected to mention the best part of hand #1.

After the hand, Button says "At least the best hand won."
UTG "No it didn't idiot. I had Aces."

Fuggin genius. At what point was KT the best hand?

YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA MUTHA EFFA Your damn right Full Tilt is rigged, but for the first time I can remember, it was rigged in my favor today. And to think I almost didn't play. I was flopping sets like a.........well, I don't know, but I flopped some sets and imagine if I actually got paid off on all the hands I hit. They just stopped giving me action after a while and I thought they'd actually fight back because I just kept betting.

172 hands +$130.80 +152.09 BB/100


More importantly.....+$410.55 for the week......AND for the first time this month..... +$75.63.

The only negative.....I now have to keep playing at FT for a while even after I just told them to go eff themselves for screwing up and being absolute pricks about my unmentionable situation.

Lucksack hands:
1 - Very first hand [3d] in BB
EP limper + OTB limper, SB calls, I check
[4d][Ad] Pot $2
SB checks, I bet $1.50, EP folds, OTB raises to $6.50, SB folds
Well, the is on the board, if he had 2 big diamonds he'd raise preflop probably, there's a good chance he has a flush which is smaller than mine and a chance he just has . My decision might be different if I had a smaller flush, BUT.....ALL-IN for $49.50. SB CALLS with [6d].
I'm 99.9% favorite against a running straigh flush draw
Turn River How many fuckin diamonds are in this deck anyway? +$46.10

2 - Limp [Js] UTG - MP2 (43/19/20) limps too, SB calls, BB checks.
[Jd][Kc] Pot $2
Blinds check, I bet $1.50, MP2 calls, Blinds fold
Pot $5 - LOTTA OUTS
I bet $3.50, MP2 calls
Pot $12
I bet $7, MP2 folds +$5.90

3 - BUT....same opponent in the BB now and I have [7s] CO.
One poster in MP2, I raise to $2.25, and only BB (43/19/20) calls
[As][Qd] Pot $5.25
BB bets $.50, I raise $4, BB calls
Pot $13.25
BB bets $.50 again, I raise to $6.50, BB insta-calls
Pot $26.25
BB bets $.50 AGAIN, ok dummy, I fold to a 50-cent bet on the river....... -$12.75....the only time I came close to tilting all session.

4 - New table....[3d] UTG+1
UTG min-raises to $1, I call, MP1 re-raises to $3.50, BB calls $3.50, UTG calls $2.50, I call $2.50 to close
[3h][8c] Pot $14.25
BB, UTG check, I bet $5, MP1 FOLDS!!! SOB 3-bets preflop and folds to a donk on that flop!
BB takes a long time and I'm gonna crap my pants if he c/r's because that would have to be a bigger set right?, but BB and UTG folds. +$10.05

No action on my set, BUT THAT'S OK BECAUSE............
5 - 3 hands later at the same table.......[3d] AGAIN, this time in SB
CO opens for $1.75 (17/11/27 and BB from last hand), I call, BB calls
[Kc][3h] Pot $5.25
So I figure this guy just saw me donk into the last raised pot and not show so I donk $4 again, CO just calls and I'm having visions of 50 Kings in the deck again.
Pot $13.25
Hey, I like this King. I bet $7.50 and CO pushes for $53.70, I call. He has [Qh] and he's drawing DEAD......... +$48.80

6 - [4c] in MP2 - Same table and I have $94 now, SB has about $37
I open for $2, SB re-raises to $3.50, and I call (sorry Alex)
[6c][Qd] Pot $7.50
SB checks, I check
NOTE: Last time I limped and this player raised from BB. He checked a QJx flop oop, then called my flop bet. We both checked the turn and he pot bet the river. I folded and I suspect he flopped a set and tried to slowplay.
Pot $7.50
SB checks again and I bet $5 trying to look like a bully again with the nuts, SB calls
Pot $17.50
SB checks, I bet $10, SB calls and shows [Kh]. I had him drawing dead again on the turn........ +$17.15

So now that I'm running at over 30/10 on 2 tables I would think I might get a little action.
7 - UTG+1 [Js]
I raise to $2, UTG+2 - a tricky player with position - calls, MP1 pushes for $18.45, folded back to me.
MP1 has been losing and I thought he was tilting, I re-pushed to knock out UTG+1.
MP1 has [Ks] - so still the right move for me.
[As] [Jc] - HOLY CRAP that's the first time that has EVER happened in my favor, but many, MANY times against me...... +$19.25

And at that point, even though I was bullying the table, they stopped giving me action. The player to my left (UTG+2 last hand) still kept floating me, but would not raise me on the flop like he did others, even though I REALLY REALLY wanted him too.

8 - Example: same table - [Jc] UTG this time
I raise to $2, UTG+1 (tricky player) calls, OTB with only $3.90 calls????
[8h][Js] Pot $6.75
I bet $4, please raise, please raise, please raise, please, please, please......UTG+1 folds....DAMMIT.....OTB with only $1.90 left folds......... +$4.45

9 - Same table, very next round...[7s] UTG+1
I limp, UTG+2 limps behind me again, SB calls, BB checks
[9h][Td] Pot $2 - Did I just flop the nuts again?
2 checks, I bully and bet pot again, UTG+2 FOLDS , both blinds fold ......... +$1.40

Do I have to start slowplaying?
LOL, I know when they were gonna raise me. The one time I don't have a hand.

Tomorrow is the last day of April and I am taking off from poker after picking up $450 the last 3 days and finishing the month with a small profit which I NEVER thought was possible a few days ago.

I'm trying to start off May with a fresh mind set and repeatedly convince myself that if I just keep getting my money in good, things will work out. A strong end to the month of April is actually allowing me to believe this too.

The Good:
After today's session, I am now at an all-time BB/100 high at NL50 FR (+5.91 over 17K hands). Even better, over the last 2,877 hands since 4/11 I'm at +32.11 BB/100

I've played 309 hands to start the month and the first time I get it in preflop (I limped [Kd] UTG, he raised to $5 in CO, I put him in for $12 total and he called with [6d]), with a short stack playing badly and tilting (50/20) the board comes [4h][4d][3d][6c].

But that's been the only ugly hand so far.

I had someone try to bluff me off a King-hi FD with [2c] from CO on a [2s][6h][Jh] but his raise to $17 on the turn only left me needing to call $12 into a $28 pot with $20 each behind. on the river was the perfect card to get me his stack. I figured I had 9-12 outs, but not 14.

I stacked a 1/2 stack with [Ks] when he couldn't lay down [Tc] to a limp re-raise which put 1/2 his stack in preflop.

It's nice to have [Ts] in the BB, flop [8s][9s], have the SB bet $2, raise to $5, have MP2 and SB call the $5, actually have a blank fall on the turn. SB leads for $17 (pot), then folds to your $50 push. It's so rare that I flop the nuts and hold on in a big pot. I was sure he was calling and I was sure he had either a FD or set.

Then making a great river call vs a capable bluffer OTB w/ [Qs] on [2s][Kh][As][4s] board. I had PFRed, gotten 2 callers, checked around on flop, bet and gotten called on the turn. He bet 1/2 pot on the river BDFlush card, but only had [9s]. I almost folded too.

The Bad:
3 MTT's so far this month haven't gone as well.

I was top 10 in chip stack in the $19K last night at the end of the first hour. Then one bad beat and a thunderstorm later and my internet goes down with 3K chips left and 320 players remaining. 153 got paid. My internet didn't come back until this morning when I saw that I got knocked out 155th. Effin Verizon!!!

Played a normal MTT this afternoon with 270 players, Folded QQ early after a PFRR and then a 4-bet, a push behind me. Don't know if it was the right move. Ended up eventually getting my money in as a 60/40 favorite preflop, but lost to the runner-runner gutshot straight.

Also played one of those deep stack 90 man SNG's which I can never get on track in. I ended up calling an all-in overbet with [Js] on a [Th][Qs] board. He didn't PFR so his over-push made no sense. I was right. He had [Ad] and I was a 77% favorite, but the turn gave him a flush draw as well and I lost to the on the river.

OMG!!!

I big ole for the whole thread!!!

WOW. How are u playing Hollywood poker? I thought u were american. The lace is a total fishpond. But it is rigged too.
