I want to crawl under a rock for 6 days

The next time I hear alrounder complain about a bad beat in a freeroll I’m going to punch him in the throat and show him what a bad beat is (Editor Note: There will be no throat punching). I just got through playing the Sunday $20,000 guaranteed (second chance) on Carbon Poker. This is only the third time I’ve forked over the $60 entry fee and that’s only because 10 minutes before it started I won 2 $20 heads up matches. So I ended up only paying $20 to play. On about the third hand I flop a set and put out queen high. (what the @#$% he’s thinking I don’t know). I didn’t really play the next 40 or 50 hands until I have KJs and raise 3x after a guy had limped which he had done the previous 100 hands or something like that. The flop comes 2 2 K. The donkey check raises me all n. I call and have him dominated he had K6 sooooted. A queen on the turn and were splitting it but then my jack comes on the river and I have about 9000 chips sitting in the top 10. I don’t do anything crazy and make it to the top 20 with about 15,000 chips. Not good cause I’m getting close to the 10bb mark. Then I get 46o in the small big blind and a guy limps utg with pkt3s ????? I flop a straight and check, he goes all in and I call and win the hand. I’m now the chip leader, with around 40- 45k . With 13 people left and top 20 getting $200 and 10th getting $300 I have pkt 5s in the small blind utg once again limps, the flop is 5 9 x, I check and the big blind goes all in with J9 I call and am fixing to have 120k with 12 people left about 40k more than 2nd place. The turn is another 9 and I now have a boat. At this point i'm not sure how many nines are left in the deck, but i think it is one. You guessed it 9 on the river. So I double this bitch up and am down to 40 something thousand again. I play kida aggressive and get my chipstack back up to 80k by check raising. Now were down to 7 players. 7th wins $800 and I am 2nd or 3rd in chips with about 90-100k I raise 3x with aj both blinds call. Flop is an ace, check check and I shove it in with top pair into an sizeable pot. The small blind thinks and makes the call with a6. Oh look at that a 6 on the turn and this @#$&* takes almost all my chips. I should have knocked her out and had six players and 180k in chips. I could have easily coasted to the final 2, and made at least $3600; with the winner taking home $5400. But no, I battle my way into the top six and bust out with kqo against 67o and cash for $1000. I have never in my life been so mad about winning $1000, I mean I’ve never even won $1000 before now. I just felt like it was my time for a big cash but I guess it was not meant to be. I think I will go hide under a rock. Hopefully no donkeys will find me there.

Why Does Thou Burn Me?

Often after playing online poker I think to myself why? Why do I always get beat on the river. O and yes I'm glad to be writing again, I know everyone missed my indepth articles filled with poker genius found nowhere else but on alrpoker. Ha. Anyway I just finished a freeroll provided by the good people at Rounders Radio on Carbonpoker.com. To make a short story even shorter after about an hour of play I was comfortable sitting in the top 10 with 6,800 in chips when I'm dealt death also known as pocket QQ's. The blinds were one 75/150 and I raised to 450 on the bubble. Three seats down a guy calls with 375 left and the guy seated next to him pushes for about 5,500. He had pushed once before with 10's so I thought and made the call. He flips JJ's over and to my suprise my computer didn't crash with excitement that I was ahead in the hand. The other guy, by the way, held rags. The flop and turn miss us both and you guessed it J on the river. Next hand he puts me out with KK's when I pushed with A 10 and he called 1,500 with K 5. I threw that in to give you an idea of what a donk he was. Anyway looks like I'm back to the same old crap, drowning in the river every freakin time. Kind gets old, but like I was told after the tourney atleast I didn't have any real money out there. But to tell the true, in some situations money isn't everything. Losing a pot or a game to someone who is a total idiot and has no idea the true meaning of poker can really hurt.
