World Poker Tour Running 7’s

I totally feel like all my pots turn out like these, at least the big ones.
It does happen in real life, yes.
It’s cards.
Bad beat whining isn’t fun or pretty. Sure, it’s annoying to lose, but that’s the game.
Me and the game are gonna just mutually stare at each other for a while though, I think.
What […]

Bad Beat Jackpot

Has anybody ever been in on a bad beat jackpot? I’ve met a few old guys who say they have, and I know they happen. That must be the best feeling in the world. The whole poker room on fire and newly gambling with their free money. Either that or they clear out to go […]

Dominating Hands

I think the most consistently strange trend I’ve noticed on Full Tilt Poker is how when two hands get all-in heads up, and one is dominating the other (ie: the hands share one similar card, and one dominates the other like AK vs AQ or KQ vs QJ), the dominated hand ALWAYS wins. I’ve been […]

Done

Another 3 outer strikes and my poker break begins.
No more until the new year, if then.
I will continue to blog about things that jump into my little mind.
Poker is always the mother-b*tch.

Pair Over Pair

In the past few weeks I’ve gotten into big pots that ended up all in before the flop with pair over pair, each time with me holding the bigger pair only to see the flop come and totally jack the pot from me. This has been happening not only in live cash games, but in […]

Week

Been on a pretty bad tear the past 2 weeks. Can’t seem to make a hand. When I do make a hand and get it all in against an opponent drawing very slim (2-4 outs), they keep hitting it on me for all the money. These kind of punches become hard to take when delivered […]

Bad Beat 2nd Runner Up

Here’s a slightly different variation on the bad beat story: the author is the one PUTTING the bad beat on. In this particular instance, the recipient of the two beats in the story is none other than myself.
So from the mouth of Durden (who owns rights to the hand 3-5 off at our local game) […]

Bad Beat Contest Winner: Jereme Dean

Here’s the winning bad beat story from Jereme Dean. This is a tournament bad beat, but it’s two in a row, so that makes it just a little grosser:
I am playing a tourney at Full Tilt to advance to a bigger tourney for a spot on Poker After Dark.  I am playing well and changing […]

Bad Beat Contest: SECOND PLACE ENTRY

Here’s a pretty cold beat story from Dan Port, winner of second place in our bad beat contest, to receive a World Poker Tour gift pack including a backpack, deck of cards, keychain and a few other small things. From Dan:
Anyway, this happened online while I was still in my
first year or so playing on […]
