Clueless muppet

This hand is just about indicitive of my luck of late. Not sure what this clueless muppet thought I had, but to call for all your chips on the flush draw isn't the smartest move. The best he could hoped for was me to have an over pair like QQ, but even then it'd have been a coin flip.

Big boys

I was playing with the big boys tonight. Something I don't normally do. Anyway, I'd have expected the SB to fold in this situation. Wouldn't you? The raiser had a very loose image, but still a poor call, IMHO.

Trapped

It's not too often that I get trapped. Not sure why I did this to be honest. Which ever way I look at it, poor play by myself. In my defence, I could say that the big stack was trying to bully me about. He'd put in a big raise the hand before. But in the hand below he was priced in to call whatever.

The thing that annoys me about online poker is not the luck of the cards but the quality of the play. How SB can call this is beyond me. And considering that I'd folded the majority of hands and was playing super-tight.

Wrong kind of luck

It just goes to show. I was cantering in this game. Couldn't go wrong. Then this happens and I go out in 3rd. Poker is so cruel sometimes.

What can you do

What can you do when you're up against play like this. Seems like the Ijits only come out at night. It's not so bad during the day.

Despair

I despair sometimes. I just played a $10 STT. Just about every player was super-aggressive. One guy limps with J7o UTG and calls a pre-flop raise by the button. The flop come K74. UTG goes all-in, gets called by top pair and hits a 7 on the turn. You gotta laugh. In the meantime, I play practically no hands. After half an hour, there's 4 of us left. I'm short stacked. I go all-in with A9 on the SB. BB calls with 85o and out I go. What a waste of time, lol.

55

This hand has been driving me mad. We're about 45 minutes into the 1.75k GTD. The blinds are 25/50. UTG limps in. I've KhKc in mid-position and I raise to 200. UTG is the only caller. The flop comes Ts9s2s. UTG bets 450 chips. I go all-in, UTG calls. UTG shows 5s5h and wins when flush is hit.

I'd been playing tight up til that point. What did UTG think he was beating. The play of others is staggering sometimes.

Final table

I hit the final table of the 1.5k GTD on Betfair. I finish in 7th, but a decent result.

MTT win

Wow, I won an MTT on Betfair. 95 runners. I probably bored the other players into submission. I played very tight and then aggressive when I hit the big hands. Anyway, a great win for me.
