Finally done well in a freeroll for the first time in a month or so, but it ended in a nice set up fashion. Basically all game I had not been getting much but I was still there at the bubble and lucked out in two short stacked all in's. Funny enough I had not got a premium pocket pair all tourny and it was just running for 3 hours. I had seen AA quite a lot and a few JJ's and QQ's then I got KK.(My usual losing hand)
Had a guy 2x bet, then someone went all in so I called seeing as I only had 14k and could double up, the first guy called as well to show QQ vs KK vs AA. Standard and usual the AA wins. Out in 50 something and 4 cents for my wasted 3 hours. Was a fun tournament and I only played for fun, but getting knocked out with set ups when I have a premium pocket pair is tiring now.

Starting to enjoy playing again with the few freerolls I have been in lately. I have two today on Ladbrokes so I will see if I can make it to the money to try and get a small starting bankroll.
I made $1.20 from that 888 FB freeroll the other night and I have turned that into $5.5 already. See if I can keep going then I can take it seriously and see if I can turn it into something better.

Doing quite well in the freeroll I have been on since 6:30pm. Deepstack freezeout starting with 20k chips.
359/734 people left and I am on 61k. Been above the average the whole time. My goal is to make the money at least so I have a good chance, but I want to reach a final table so who knows.
Had a crappy day grinding cash on 888. Lost around $1.50 today and nothing has really gone right for me unlike yesterday. So break from there until tomorrow. Still have $4 left so all is good as thats 4 BI's.

That is great, keep up the good work. I have been doing well in Mtt's the last few days. I have really stepped back from the cash tables. Building my bankroll up with Mtt's cashes best wishes to you. be cool

I seem to do better in MTT's/FR more than cash lately. Hows your new Bankroll looking?
Kicking ass now. Won over a short stack with AK and a draw when I had nothing and jumped up to 90k, then just had QQ 3 bet someone before and he pushed all in with JJ so jumped up to 130K+. Jumped up to 15th on the top chipstacks and theres is about 180 people left to the money and I have more then enough now, so now to play safe but try and take chances for more as I should make the money now unless I do something stupid.
------------ God how annoying. The 3rd of my freerolls started 15 minutes ago at full tilt and I am out already, to a standard FT suckout of course. Had JJ and the flop came 3K9 rainbow. I checked and the guy bet who called me 3 bet, bet with a bet that shouted he did not have a King so I pushed all in and he called with A9o and hit his second pair on the river. Standard.
I would have been super annoyed if I wasent doing really well in the other freeroll. 100 people left and I am sitting on a nice 158k chipstack and 14th in the top stacks board. Still a long way to go for some reason but I need to hold on or push on.

Got three small bankrolls on Jokerstars, Ladbrokes and 888. The latter two from freerolls but apart from ladbrokes the other two are doing my head in. Constant fish calling 3 bets with worse hands and always beating you. The constant sets up like my JJ vs QQ vs AA...yeah okay stars, and all this when I am a BI or two up on 888 and Stars playing really well but of course the s**t storm comes. This seems to be a big pattern on Pokerstars and 888.
No matter how well you play and the odds are stacked in your favour in tournys or cash you will lose to complete horse s**t. Still have enough on each to keep pushing on but these constant losses down to luck for other people really grinds my gears.
....One day I will have a day where I run s**t hot!!
------------ 888 can f**k off Such a rigged poker site its unreal. Magical outs for everyone against me.

G'day mate
I have been suffering the last few days myself, but it was not from the poker tables. Food poisoning I think. It was so bad at one point I could not even stand upright. hope things get better for you.

Damn man your always ill or something, you have worse luck than me. Hope you feel better soon.
888 free bankroll gone. I was on $6 but once you do well there things come crumbling down.
After two BI's on stars I am currently one BI and a half up again and playing well enough. Will see if Stars trys and stitches me up soon.
I told you didnt I. I get KK and a fish calls and it sets up a flush draw flop and gives me trips, then gives a fourth suit so obviously stitch up and fold. Then get JJ twice in a row and of course lots of fish limp then call me re-raise and both hands have overcards, easy folds of course, but come on!
------------ As per standard when I start bossing it all comes crashing down. Started with $2 and was up to $5.80 playing really well then the standard slow rolling, set ups and fish comes knocking. Now on $1.70. I really hate poker some times...
------------ And I lose my initial BI. Such a fucking con this game is. Fish always chasing their flushes and always hitting, but when I have two over cards a flush draw and a straight I never hit but they always do with shite cards.
So fucking frustrated with Poker. Topped up $10 now have $3. Suckout fish city, Idiots win only.

G'day mate
I am truly sorry to hear about that mate. I wonder if perhaps you need to start playing with a preset limit in mind and the moment you reach it leave the table and bank the profit then sit down at another table and do it all over again. Wishing you all the best. be cool

I was thinking of leaving when I was on $5.80 but I was still on a roll and doing well, so why leave? It was full ring Zoom as well so the variance is obviously a bitch as seen above. Never tried full ring Zoom and it is easier to bluff for blinds, general bluffs and playing well more than 6 max since I can open up my ranges more in position. Idiot calls, suckouts, the once ever few hands flushes and fish(who always chases and hit flushes) as well as set up seems to come more in Zoom.
Still got a bankroll on Stars and ladbrokes so going back to normal 6 max slow tables today and see what I can do. I need to go check if our home game is waiting as I don't want to go busto before I can register.
And the only reason I get cranky about when I have pocket pairs and fish call is because I have put a lot of money into the pot for the re-raise and C bet most of the time unless I am smooth calling in position.
Going to play a table and both sites and see what happens. Hopefully I come back with some good news for once.
------------ I have sussed out Stars now. It allows idiots to win more so they keep coming to the site and to deposit more as they get these lucky wins all of the times and the regs who get f**ked over will deposit anyway. Keeps the money going around because that is the only reason I can think of all this b******t.
$1.35 left after some cunt call my flop all in with 89 against my KK hoping for a miracle 7 or Q for a straight. Of course RIVERS his magical 7 as per usual on these f**king s**te sites but when in a freeroll over on ladbrokes and I know I am beat on the flop but I have AKs and a flush draw so push all in because its only a small man freeroll and I have over cards and flush outs(Guys called my position 3 bet with 6 and hits a set) of course I wont hit when I have more outs. Funny is that. The less outs the more often you will suck out: Fact. Joke.
I cant be this unlucky can I?
Flush and straight draw but not hitting anything...funny that. 80 cents on stars left looks like im not making the home game now. Not that I would do well in it on this site anyway. In such a foul mood right now, but not on tilt surprisingly.
------------ And I am bust at cuntf**kerstars. Started playing well again and was up to $1.50 until I get a nice AQs, one go above and the flop comes A. Cool. Ended up the other guy having a set of 5s. Nice set up hand to think I am winning as usual.
Oh well its only f**king money isnt it. let he cunts who own Stars have it all.
------------ 888 and Stars are dodgy as f**k and always has been. This is why I prefer Ladbrokes, you dont see constant s**t as you do there. It can happen but not every hand or two like those dodgy rigged place.
------------ Another super suckout freeroll. Such f**king b******t it really is. My KK pf against AK as he goes all in before me. Easy call. Q10 comes out on the flop, yeah of course. Turn safe and river ace. Standard. Next hand I push AJs same guy calls then someone goes all in, so the suckout guy calls. AJs vs QQ vs 99, second hand in a row that suckout guy suckouts on the river.
Such a b******t game its all about luck and no skill whatsoever. Fish on my cash table always calling my raises when I am in position with s**t and always getting hands where I get no(AK, AQ, JJ ect)
Anyone wants to explain all these constant suckouts and b******t? No, thought not.
------------ annnnnnd all three bankrolls are nearly gone. Ladbrokes one is left and was nearly on 3 euros and flopped a nut flush. Turn gave a fourth one so kept slow rolling to make more money. Both went all in on the river and the other guy had a fullhouse given on...yes thats right the RIVER.
This is why I dont play with my own money such a set up rigged game.
------------ And last 24p went. Three bankrolls gone busto in three days and lots of funny situations, set ups, constant flushes and fish as well as being beat by a better hand or better player of course.
Glad I didnt really pay much for that stars roll and the rest was free money. Funny how my luck is so bad this year and of course last. Very suspicious.

Another free bankroll on Ladbrokes even though it is small. See what I can do playing small cash with not being ill now. Doing well in freerolls lately. Even though I keep crashing out due to suckouts and crap I am making the money more than I have lately then ever. So happy with that lately as every little helps.
Hoping to add to that if I can reach the money in this second freeroll I am in which is not that far away and I am sitting pretty with 57k after some lush bluffs and some great hands.
------------ Been a good day for regardless of two freeroll early money exits. But that is still cashing in. I just now started playing one cash table which is going fine and also tried my luck with the smallest BI of Ladbrokes new twister poker. Cost my a euro(68p) to play and the spin wheel of fortune landed on $6 which was a good prize for that bi(usually $1 or $2 when I play.
I managed to win it and win my first SNG. Only 3max but its still a double on my bankroll and ends a good day of playing well. Lucked out once but was against a short stack(A5 vs A10) and the second last hand I had two over cards and a straight draw and pushed all in after the other guy 3 bet me. Then next hand I win automatically as he had 50 chips left.
Hopefully this is the start of a decent micro table run but we shall see.
------------ How can someone play so well against the fish but keep losing to them due to chasing and suckouts constantly? Micro stakes are doing my head in. I keep losing to these fish even though I am bossing them. They keep catching lucky suckouts and b******t hands.
Just had someone call my AA 3bet, then donked his remaining chips before me on the flop fora 2 outa and of course hit it. God knows how many flush chases they have hit today as well. As well as calling with s**t and ALWAYS hitting trips when I have a higher pocket pair.
I would not care if it was me playing bad but I have been playing well. Now I am down by nearly half of my bankroll because of these fucking idiots. When will it stop?!?!?
------------ God this game is really predictable and such a set up piece of s**te. Maybe because I am playing with free money but I see the same things all of the time its laughable. Fish rule supreme and always hit whatever they need. You get a pocket pair and someone ALWAYS has a higher one on the table(This goes for freerolls even more)Draws you see nearly every hand and good play and skill is never rewarded.
Online poker is fake, that is all. Running bad? Happens far too often for that. Running hot? never get that anymore, regardless of how well I am playing. Just glad I dont deposite as this is a waste of money and idiot players just seem to keep winning somehow.
------------ Also forgot to add in mtts/freerolls short stacks will always lose to someone with a higher stack. Its set into the RNG code.
------------ Would like to deffo add that ive seen myself have pocket pairs and shorter stacks have pushed all in and every time I call they have a higher pocket pair. Standard, predictable and far from rare as it happens every time I have a pair regardless of all ins or normal playing. Online RNG are rigged in predictable fashion.
And no I am not busto, I just am not stupid as i can see these things.
------------ How many times can I get a slower pocket pair against a very small short stack and keep running into qq, KK or AA. So bloody rigged its starting to actually make my laugh. I have been in this position about ten times already this last two hours. Think im going to start folding anything under 1010 now because its such rubbish.
------------ Start playing well slowly gaining my br back and then after that I cannot hit and go card dead. Its like a look, a constant loop.
------------ Bluffing is b******t in this game as well. Try and bluff someone who I know has nothing and goes all in, so as I have a straight draw and two other cards I call. Guy had A6s and has nothing, no draws and no reason to go all in.
OF COURSE FUCKING WINS. Such is poker and I lose £3 and have 60p left. POKER IS A FUCKING JOKE AND I AM GOING TO SPREAD THE FUCKING CUNTING WORD

I think I have poker and also anger and moaning issues....
Perhaps I am not as good as I think, although I know I am not some super amazing player and all these beats, losing and failed things are my fault. Anyone agree?
