Catching up...

Been too pissed off to post. I blew away 90 bucks in the last 3 days at the stud tables. I was planning on shooting for silver star status this month, but not if I'm going to have to forfeit my BR to do so. I was missing so many low and flush draws, getting rivered and getting pooned.

Today I kind of took a break. I played 2 6 handed sng's earlier and had no luck. I did the 11PM 2 buck holdem, and I'm still in. Let me tell you, this has been one entertaining tournament. From arguments to suckouts, to laughing at idiots. I'll post my finish later, but this post is one of the main reasons why me and Chase need a blog to vent.

Why do aces never hold? Twice today, I lost with pocket aces to a complete moron who flops two pair. Luckily, I tripled up the next hand with 10A after runnering the nut flush. I took another pot and I'm more or less back where I started. Still, I'm in need of some chips before the blinds kill me. I'll update in a bit.


UPDATE: I got pooned out in 40th. Per Pokerstars policy, my top top got rivered by a straight draw, who also had top pair. I shoved the flop first to act, had about 11k left. I had A8 and the flop was 5 7 8. 86 made the call, and naturally the river 9 ousted me. What can I do. PS doesn't let me win.

No real poon of the day candidates on my end... I'll have something up tomorrow I'm sure. Going to play some morning tourneys, so those idiot Europeans will give me material.
