Ugh. My losing streak continues. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm a total donkey and I was just getting lucky before. So last post, it took me 12 tries to make money, well, since that cash I've now gone another 8 with no cash. Blah.
FUCK YOU POKER!

Ongoing Fun
My luck at poker continues in the same manner as at poker night. Over the last two days, I've missed the money for 7 SNGs in a row. For 4 of them, my opponent had QJ and was drawing. Of course, they hit everytime. Check out the HH below. I think that's my favourite of the recent beats.
PokerStars Tournament game, buy-in $4.00+0.40, Level I $10/$20 No Limit, 9 players
SB: T$1100

MP1: T$2320
HERO (MP2): T$1500
MP3: T$1500
CO: T$1500
Button: T$1100
SB posts Small Blind T$10
BB posts Big Blind T$20
Pre-flop: 8d 9d (T$30)
UTG folds
UTG+1 calls T$20
MP1 folds
HERO calls T$20

BB folds
HEROcalls T$1000
Turn: 6h Ts 7d Ks (T$2350)
River: 6h Ts 7d Ks 9c (T$2350)
SB shows Js Qs
SB wins T$2360 with a straight Nine to King
EDIT TO ADD: Ok, so the final tally. Twelve in a row. So the last time I made money to when I finally made the money again, it took 12 tries. I think I'm quite sick of poker right now.

Running Bad
So, last month's league night, I was hot, hot, hot. This month, I couldn't have been colder.
During the tournament, I was crippled by Adam's QJ (I think it was)after I called his all-in with AK. I was basically left with one BB, so I was done.
When the cash game finally got going, there were a ton of straddles, so it was definitely a big pot poker game. So, I was able to get all my chips in ahead with 99, to be called by K2 and Q9, the Q9 won by catching a straight. I got it all in with AJ. I don't remember the opposing hands, but I didn't win.
The sickest hand was when my AA was cracked by A9 and QT. I raise UTG and get three callers. The flop is J99. The pot is so big and there's only a couple of hands I'm behind, so I push. And all three call again. As you can see above, there was an A9, a QT, the third had J7. QT actually took the whole pot, catching runner, runner tens for the better boat.
My final hand of the night was KK. I get it allin preflop against 55 and 22. The deuces spike their set on the turn, winning the huge pot.
Bah, poker is the devil.

Poker Site
I was stumbling on the internet when I came across this site: www.parttimepoker.com. From what I've read, there are some decent articles. It also has an RSS feed that I've made sure to have it added in my Reader.
