This reminded me of this hand that happened just yesterday.
Fucking bitch on the flop is the only paint card obviously!

2nd in an 18-man SNG on PokersStars
I played this morning and it didn't start well.
I was able to accumulate chips and be the chip leader at my table, however, someone walked in, asking me to fix a printer and that kind of tilted me a little LOL.
The issue was a non-issue and I missed maybe 10 hands. The worst one being AK in position, and I would have turned broadway vs the lower straight....Sad....He shipped it too....Oh....I love the new PokerStars Hand Replayer by the way.
I love having the chip lead. That allows me to call shorter stacks' all-ins without breaking a sweat. This is standard preflop...until the river. You can't teach that!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3036545
I tried to bluff the river by making a bet and he called. Only to shower a weaker Ace.
I guess my CL image played a part there, people don't give me enough credit for a big hand.
But in his defense, his read was 'somewhat' correct, I had nothing so I should be more careful next time. A well-timed reraise from him would have gotten me off the hand ASAP.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3036558
More bad beats. This guy took the lead from me at the final table and never looked back.
Little did I know that I was gonna lose to him heads-up...when I should have busted him right there for the monstruous stack.
Back in the day I would have never had the guts to reraise preflop with AQ (just call) but I feel it is the right thing to do know, be the aggressor preflop, and if he misses the flop, that pot will be mine.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3036563
Standard bustout hand. This was the second heads-up hand and I think he called because I shoved the first hand with AT and he folded. No I wasn't trying to bully, just double up because he had a 2-to-1 lead on me. He obviously gambled with one overcard and got the win.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3036637
By the way, there are soooo many posts online about Full Tilt's crashes/lags because of the FTOPS. It's been a complete nightmare so far and players are asking for refunds out of their tournament buy-ins. I wouldn't want to be deep in a tournament or high-stakes hand right now.
Anyways, it's been down for a few hours now and we still don't know when it will be back, even the Full Tilt website was down for a while.
PokerStars has a lot of experience for himself in large fields. Their network holds up even with the weekly Sunday Million and the titanic WCOOP Main Event.

This better stop right now
Wow, I should stop posting every time I finish a SNG, but hey, this blog is also an outing for my pain/grief/tilt so there you go.
Feels good to get some stuff off my chest, and then when I see the hands I post, I tend to get mor analytical about them and analyze, which I'd never do otherwise.
Do you seem me going through hand histories in Poker Tracker? Me neither.
This hand was a complete nightmare, and the Vilain a complete DONK.
He is probably a noob who reads too many poker books, saw his weak Ace on the button and thought to himself "hey, this is the perfect spot to steal, so let's do it!"
I reraised instantly with QQ, committing myself and the rest is... well, standard!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032603
Can't catch a break here! (again)
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032611
ONE FOR ME!!!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032662
Standard BS. Really though I won there, until the pot was slided to him.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032706
Maybe moving up will stop all the stupid bad beats I get. I mean, would people call my 3-bets preflop with A-rag as they do in a $1 SNG?
There were maybe 2 other times in 4-handed play where I was the leader and called the shorter stacks' all-ins with better kickers. But this time they didn't pair their kickers, noooooo, both times the board went high and it counterfeited our hands for split pots.
I did finish 2nd in this stupid SNG though.
I haven't played a Turbo on Full Tilt in a long time, and I know remember why I stopped playing them LOL.
It's such a shove fest it's not even funny. That might explain a lot of the hands above.
Btw, is it better to play Turbos on Full Tilt or Stars?
Check out the structures below and let me know what you think:

@$%^@$%&@&*^&*$%@
What the FUCK?
Cruising along fine in a SNG on Stars, within two players off the cash with a very good stack.
And those 3 hands happen in the next 5 hands!
- AhKh, SS shoves, I call and he shows TT. I river an Ace, but he already flopped a set. Whatever.
- I push 99 with three limpers, SS shows AJ and Chip "donk" Leader shows rags and flop is Axx.
I survive with the side-pot.
- Chip "donk" Leader limps and I shove K9 from the SB and he calls with J6 and flops a Jack.
This hand also happened to me very early in the tourney which hurt me a lot.
Although I was able to bounce back later, it just stings. My value bet on the turn was good I feel, but somehow, the donkey got there.

Standard bust hand
Meh, busted out of a 45-man in 22nd place.
It truly is disappointing since I had a good stack and was looking to make a deep run.
77 UTG I call the BB of 100 with my 2400 stack and find 4 more callers.
Flop is T97 and UTG bets 200 I raise to 400. The player after me calls and every one else folds.
Q on the turn doesn't really concern me since it's unlikely he has KJ or J8. I bet pot (1600) to get him out of any draws and he calls.
River comes Q and at that point I am low on chips and shove my Sevens full.
He showed me TT for Tens full. GG.

Instant off-tilt, sort off
Made a return to FTP today, registering for a $1 45-man and I got 3rd, good for $7.
I was chip leader for the first half of the tournament, thanks in big part to me gambling on a flush draw and tripling up.
After that, the following hand came up:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032975
I called with third pair on the flop because I just had the feeling the board completely missed him. He raised preflop OOP which showed a lot of strenght.
However, he paused on the flop and bet only half the pot, so that looked like a continuation bet to me and I made the call. The turn obviously didn't help him at all and I picked up a flush draw to boot with my minuscule pair. He shoved and I called, my read was good as he showed AK.
Would I have called if I didn't get that flush draw? I don't know, because it gave me a blanket just in case my read was wrong, but I didn't need it.
The next hand is my biggest:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032981
I value bet all the way to the river. The turn was magical to me and insured me a huge pot three-handed.
It was also the first hand back from the first break, good times. He showed 77 to my full house.
This hand was a big blunder on my part. I had top pair and feared I was outkicked.
Because of that I didn't bet the turn and he caught me on the damn river. I'm so stupid.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032983
Runner-runner bad beats are NEVER fun!:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3032987
The 4-handed and 3-handed parts of the game were complete GRINDS.
Chip leads kept moving around, short stacks kept getting their miracle cards to stay alive (case in point: 53o vs Q5o flop 53x) and I was getting frustrated.
3-handed, the blinds reached 3000-6000 which happens very rarely, given there are only 67500 chips in play! That means the three of us had an M of 3 only!
Finally I shoved A9 vs AQ and (surprise, surprise!) failed to catch my card. Meh, always happens for the others, never to oneself.
Winning is good, but who am i kidding I'm still tilting from yesterday XD.

Tilting like crazy!
I haven't played (ok, played maybe once) for the last week because I didn't feel like it and today was definitely not the day to start playing again.
I started 6 $3 10-man SNGs and cashed in only one! Just so sick. That caps a -$14 day I think.
I don't think I am playing bad, but it just seems like I can't catch cards or a break at the right time. To give you an example:
KK vs A9 he spikes an Ace on the flop. Which really sucks because he shoved a raiser from his SB and I pushed in the BB.
TT vs QJ, he flops QQJ. God-awful move on his part preflop. I raised, he reraised, I shoved and he called, WTF?
Apart from that, it just feels like everytime we are on the bubble, the short stacks keep shoving mediocre hands and doubling up against the chip leader, which in turn makes yours truly the short stack. God I just hate that.
I know that my bubble game isn't at its best right now, with either a short or big stack I just can't keep up with the blinds/antes to cash. Maybe the answer would be to stop playing turbos. But I have always been profitable in those so I don't see a reason to stop playing them anytime soon.
Is a -4BI considered a downswing? Is it standard? Should I even be on tilt or mad about it?
Anyways, right now seems a good time to quit for today and refresh.
I will start playing again on Full Tilt soon and hopefully I will do better.
