I can't stand this any more. I am thinking I'll have to give up poker. When I got the money in here, I said to Mrs Zen, a king will come. And lo, a king came.

sick
Date: Sat, Jul 19, 2008 Internet
I'm just sick of this atm. T150, I'm in the big blind with A9s. Some guy limps, and a guy with 600 or so chips shoves. I shove over, and he shows T6. He flops a T. Same tourney, a guy who is short but covers me raises and I shove over with Kh9s. I know I probably don't have fold equity but maybe a tiny bit. He shows A4. I mean, wtf? So the flop comes three hearts, and that gives me 15 cards to win it. Nope.
Other table, threehanded, t150. Retard limps in small blind, I raise decently with A3 in the BB, just wanting a fold. He shoves, I snap it. He has KJ. His play is beyond atrocious but teh poker godz love bad players. He flops a K.
Blah blah blah blah. It's all like that tonight, this month, always. I know that you have ups and downs, but WHERE ARE MY UPS now?
Sweet beat

Well, he might have trapped on the flop with 88 or 77 or even AA, but fuck it, I've got to call this. These idiots just as often check with an ace when they hit.
FR Vessant: calls 1100
copio2003: shows [Kc Kd] (three of a kind, Kings)
Not only did he call a decent bet when miles behind on the flop but he managed to hit a set when I hit two pair.
He had one out on the flop and hit it, and just to increase the insanity, it made me two pair too.

Easy shove. Happily take it down, but if called, I'm going to be a favourite.

He has A8s.
See? He hit top pair and immediately checked it to us. That's what they do. It's wrong no matter what but doubly wrong on a drawy board like this. It's not even that strong of a hand. The limper can easily have a bigger ace.

This is getting unbearable. This fish has completed his small blind every orbit. Maybe six times he has bet the flop, I've called with a pair, and he's checked it down, rivering me with a bigger pair. So this time, I have a hand and push, and the fucktard still calls:
