FFS!!

Full Tilt bankroll has taken a bit of a hit, wonderful. Decided that a couple of 10 buckers were worth a shot (thinly veiled 'bored of $5' post), overplayed 2 pair vs set in first one, but was happily running all over the second. Then I obviously annoyed someone 'up there'.......

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to SG3KSG [Qc 9s]
Don Engel raises to 160 Oppo has been pretty passive, certainly not a steal based on the other stack sizes. I give him credit for JJ+, AK/AQ/AJ
cocotier974 folds

ESCADINHA_BR has 15 seconds left to act
ESCADINHA_BR folds
SG3KSG calls 80
*** FLOP *** [9h Qh 3d]
SG3KSG bets 360
Don Engel raises to 720 I've been leading out off my BB a lot, he's either following up with AK/AJ or I've got him by the short and curlies cos he's calling every day of the week with AA, KK or AQ, if he has QQ, nice hand well played, pay the man
SG3KSG raises to 5,773, and is all in
Don Engel calls 2,542, and is all in
SG3KSG shows [Qc 9s]

cocotier974 raises to 600 No shove? A little confusing but I'm going nowhere, oppo is committed and I'm confident of being a fair way ahead even against a strong Ace. Again, AA,KK, nh wp pay the man...

Ended up bubbling when A5o was far too good for Coco to lay down when I pushed 1650 chips at his 1900 stack @ 60/120, I think he beat me into the pot. Looks like the William Hill Double Your Money STTs may see my attention a little sooner than planned, to be honest I'm not enjoying playing on Full Tilt, it doesn't suit the way I play at all and I can't seem to adjust to compensate for it. My own fault, I'm simply too aggro on the bubble against opponents that don't fold, I just can't bring myself to play passively on the bubble lol. The two times that I'm screaming for oppo to call, I get turned over. LOOOOOOOOL!! I've had a bit of a break, Full Tilt Bankroll is now $49.50. Going to fire up 4 x $10 and see what happens, fingers crossed!!

Just gets better and better, I run gooood!! Get away from this one? I think not....

Not good :( Never mind, back to the dyms, everyone is getting off too easily whilst you are elsewhere ;)
