my brother just called me from AC

playing 2/4 NL i think

raised 10 bucks from first position with 8-8, one guy (we will call him douche) called, and the BB called

flop was like 3 8 J with 2 clubs

flopped a set, said douche had been playing like.. well.. a douche for the past hour or so, so he checked to him. douche bet out 20, brother pushed all in knowing he didnt have shit, BB folds, douche calls cause he's a douche

with 24o

hit the runner runner flush with his 4c

i would have choked the guy

11/26/2005 1:22:13 PM

^now, if I knew what any of that meant, it might make more sense (I did get the "he hit his flush", but not the symbols )

11/26/2005 2:52:23 PM

Umm, if you can't understand any of that then why the hell are you in a poker thread?

11/26/2005 3:28:15 PM

11/27/2005 6:39:03 PM

I was watching that on stars jon, thats pretty brutal.

11/27/2005 6:39:45 PM

I saw one of the worst beats for the most money Ive seen ever last night on Full Tilt. Matusow was sitting at the $25/50 NL table, he had about $8400 in front of him. Guy to his right has around $5800. Matusow raises preflop to about $400. Guy to his right calls. Flop comes AJ7, Matusow leads out with $1500, guy reraises all in around $5400 more. Matusow sits there for a minute, and calls him with AK. Guy flops over JJ, so Matusow is pretty much fucked.....oh, but wait! The turn is a K, river is an A, and Matusow takes down the $10,000 pot. It was unreal. Im not saying its rigged, and the pros get the cards they need a lot, but damn, that is a pretty brutal way to lose a $10,000 pot.

11/27/2005 7:06:22 PM

That guy probably killed himself immediately after the hand.

11/27/2005 8:10:58 PM

I dont think I could ever play online after a beat like that and losing that much.

11/27/2005 8:30:36 PM

I just put a hole in my bathroom wall, reading that up there kinda makes me realize mine was small time comparatively

11/27/2005 10:00:39 PM

aahhahahaha... I've put holes in walls before too cuz of poker.. what happend?

11/27/2005 10:01:47 PM

If anyone is interested, durham resident, Duke university student, internet tournament poker phenom, and SI contributor Jason Strasser just made the final table at the poker stars 700k guaranteed.

11/27/2005 11:50:25 PM

and hes out in 7th for 26k.

not bad, but probably dissapointing. He was by far the most aggro player at the final table.

ran into a 99 on the button, raised, got reraised and correctly pushed.

AJ picks up A on flop.


btw, if this ever happened to me at a final table of a massive tournament like this, id puke on the screen.

just silly limit shit, not even that big of a deal, just a few hands in a row really pissed me off, i guess i need some spackle right?

after reading the last few posts about bad beats for 5 digits it makes mine seem pretty irrelevant though, lol

No offense, but of all the people that post here regularly, I am sure quite a few of them have Pokerstars accounts. That being said, I would guess anyone who signs up would do so from a regular and not some new guy that decides to post only for the $.

I've actually been on TWW for about 5years but this is a new name now that I have graduated and moved on. My old name on here was daedwar2.

11/30/2005 8:35:59 PM

Finally, a good night at a home game.

buy in for 100, run up to 200, bust 120 on a AK vs AQ both pair ace on the flop situation vs a very very aggro player, bust on a tp with nut flush draw. rebuy for another 100, end up cashing out $550.

not bad.

Got into a pickle vs. [user]fork girl[/user] that I dont know what the fuck happened.

I may post this hand tommorow or so to see how FeebleMinded and sNuwpack and you others would have handled it. (but i know ill get berated for my preflop play like crazy )


maybe playing loose as fuck in a weak passive home game is the way to go.

im just not so sure if im up to the wicked variance invloved however.

12/1/2005 3:46:23 AM

It was an interesting hand....I will say. I don't know what I expected you to do after you showed it. I am glad I finally had some sort of stack though to make you think.........


I will say it was an awesome game last night. I made it back up to even When we went to 4 handed, I can not tell you how easy it was to run the game.

12/1/2005 9:34:01 PM

hey guess what


final 4 with chip lead in the 25k guaranteed.

w00t

12/1/2005 11:21:44 PM

hey wait, that was pilgrimshoes.

im at jon's computer.

ahah

12/2/2005 12:08:25 AM

sweet dude, keep it focused, gl

12/2/2005 12:09:39 AM

its over now.

we are waiting on a host to chop up the final.

i got some shit, the small stack caught cards like crazy, and then we are chopping with a 3:1 chip deficit on my part.

So by my rough calculations, thats about 5.5k.


w00t

12/2/2005 12:11:20 AM

nice man, congrats, is that your biggest cash? it's bigger than any i've had

12/2/2005 12:15:25 AM

TO THE BAR!!

yes, it is.

12/2/2005 12:39:00 AM

down to 18 out of 450 in a points NL tournament on bodog(cash payout). I was just trying to make top 45 and cash, but ive caught some cards and am on pace to make the final table.

woot


update:

oh well, someone called my allin after the flop while i was on a flush draw. didnt make the flush, finished 14th

did you rebuy any? i typically hate those tournaments cause people play like assholes up through the first break, or whenever rebuy time is over...

12/2/2005 5:21:24 AM

double bought to start out with for $20, added on for another 10

so not bad, for $30 and like 8 hours.

im proud ok

awesome, im gonna lose it all at once!!!1

12/2/2005 7:00:04 AM

What is this "cash out restricted deposit bonus" i keep getting from party poker? I've had my account down to like $1 twice, and I'll just randomly have this deposit from party poker in it...so basically if you play enough and lose it all they'll pay for you to come back?

I've already refused to put any more money in online, I did that about 10 pages back, but twice they have given me $20 out of the blue. Which I can't complain about, haha. Just means I have more money to lose now, which is fine. But anyway, is this like a raked hand bonus or something? I don't really understand how they keep giving me this.

12/2/2005 9:01:24 AM

yeah i dunno, i havent played on my partypoker account in ages. but when i did i had a shitload of player points... so maybe they miss my action... maybe they sent it out to everyone, who knows

12/2/2005 9:03:02 AM

i was feeling really good yesterday, made a really nice profit playing some limit, then i give it all back except for about 10 big bets or so, damn it

12/2/2005 9:21:00 AM

^^,^^^ I got $50 from them yesterday, I dont know what they base it on though.

12/2/2005 2:42:45 PM
