Cruel game

It's a cruel game sometimes. I'd folded just about every hand for best part of an hour. This win would have put me 7th.

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.

Double whammy

Wow, look at these for bad beats. I was crippled by the first one. Running Jacks must be 100/1 shot. Then the second beat finishes me off just for good measure.

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.

Poor call

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.
