Following on from Sid's infamous thread, I am rather sceptical on threads like this!

Eh? Nah, this is a wind-up.

My Justification is 100% wrong.lol.

I genuinely believed I was ahead by a mile, or a chop. I wish I was winding you up my friend.

You'd be more than one slice short of a whole loaf if posting this for attention and sympathy

How could it be a chop? Unless there's five kings in the deck...

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

It was to do with the player himself.

In my notes he had flat called AA 3 times in 140ish hands, and he was tight/aggresive so to call with A9 3 times the BB I thought was out of his range.

I mulled over the final call, and even If he had the other K it would have been a chop.

2/4 again fills me with dread to be honest.

See how I go in a few MTT's.

Then consider cash games again.

I can tell you for sure I will NEVER use my whole bank roll again, you learn as you go in this game. I have read so much about not using all of it, but I liked using the max for that level. Arrogance and stupidity all wrapped up in a nice little parcel for the devil in me.

Then he would have 2 pair shirley, if he had K x.

Maybe I'm wrong, and that's why Slick beats me now and then.

Can you show me that thread please, someone on a another forum I use was caught lying about a hand, all very embarrassing for him lol.

This happened, I have no reason to lie about cards.

Reckon online poker is fixed - funny how when you have a decent pair QQ, KK, AA etc everyone else on the table also seems to have high pairs and someone usually hits trips, full house etc to beat you. I am also amazed at how often I seem to get the same denomination cards, different suits the next game i.e. I get dealt 9C, 7H one hand then the following hand I get 9D, 7S - it happens more often than it ever would in live poker. I learnt long ago not to slow play AA and always put in a massive raise as I always get burnt (some say you shouldn't slow play AA in live poker either but it always happens that i get burnt online!)
I never play on pay-for sites as I have been on several and all had the above problems - I play on the free poker on Facebook, it's a different game as no one is playing for money and people raise with silly cards but i just do it for a bit of fun.

Not saying I wouldn't have done the same (obviously not my whole roll), but sorry, it's not even a bad beat. When all the money went in Frank was behind and drawing to one card. Sick hand yes, bad beat no.

I see. What is your definition of badbeat?

Indeed... any news of what is likely to hapen with this? Surely there are thousands of unhappy people with money tied up in Full Tilt? Is there a pressure group anywhere trying to find out what's going on ?

You made your biggest mistake before a hand was dealt. Bankroll management is a vital component of successful poker play and you should never play with anywhere near your whole bankroll.

When the money goes in on the flop and you're miles ahead with the opponent drawing to two cards and he hits them on the turn and river. Makes you want to put your head through the screen.

Ok, i got you, i think i misunderstood bad beat then. I thought it was when you had an outstanding hand but got beaten.

Not really. Thats just sick.

Runner runner is a bad beat.

Although they are as painful as each imo.
