poker.... annoying, to say the least!

[Felonius_Monk]

Well... I've been treading horrible ugly water for about a week, nothing happening, tables dead, hands dead, and me throwing some dumb plays into the mix, to basically get nowhere. Today, however, I'm ready to ****ing break something in a serious way. Just played a coupla hours this afternoon, same dead session, nothing happens, about 60 up then I lose a $200 pot in my last hand, well, it happens. Then today I play this evening session, playing very well except one dumb river pay off. Doing fine, probably $100 up, good going after getting dealt 2nd best hands about four times.

Then THIS hand happened. I'm not generally one for bad beat stories. OK, well I am, but this one was particularly sickening I thought it was worth posting. You'll note that it's at a £ table at crypto, and thus the pot is worth approximately $360 at current exchange rate.

What was he thinking on the flop? Well, who knows. Anyway, it's still been a reasonable month (at one point it was my best ever, winrate-wise) but this last few sessions has been a real burn. I even seem to have missed out on some bonuses (Party one mysteriously credited me with only 19 bucks, the interpoker one was horribly unclear as to its requirements and thus i missed it, i think). Ach, anyways, I'm just in a whiny mood. Never mind! Here's the hand, parental advisory and all that...

As you said to me after my last one outter for a big pot, its times like this that make you wish you had never played a hand of poker in your life, but you'll get over it and this moron will give his money most of the time.
