Oh he is always grumpy when he loses at poker. We were playing for fun game of live poker with a few friends around mine the other night and he got grumpy at a few on's on suckouts haha.
I decided to deposit on Party Poker as I had that £10 spare and wanted to grind and play once in a blue MTT's and try and complete some of the missions. I am up about £3.50 after 2500 odd hands today even with some really annoying beats and crap.
Been seeing my fair of crap today but I have won it back in the end as I stayed calm. QQ losing to a lot of river straights today amongst hitting lots of two pairs on the flop and always losing to a higher one once they hit on the turn or river, but this is poker so I take it on the chin but it would be nice to actually have variance on my side for a while for once.
Anyway, hoping to double up to £20 withdraw the £10 I put in then grind the rest as an extra so I stay up for the year. Goals are to just keep a bankroll for longer than usual and stay in the profit this year for once.

Not played much poker lately but I have been doing well off part pokers daily scratchcards. Turned some free poker money until some bankroll and got paid off on Monopoly slots as it was blowing before they pulled the game down and I also just made £20 off a roulette bonus which I just withdrawn now as well. Still have the £5.30 bonus left so it could still go on when I use it again later.
Up about £60 this year from gambling which is a nice change.

I congratulate the results and wish you continued success in poker. I will be as far as possible to watch your achievements. I think I'll continue to describe their achievements in poker.

Been playing an 888bonus and been doing well lately, then came across this hand. Usual river b******t, but was I wrong to call this? Thought I was good and did not expect him to have KK, but I guess that river push showed that and I made a very stupid call. Good old hitting your one out.

I agree with you about the way 888 give out the status points,I managed to get up to copper status while I was playing on there every day but after a few weeks on a different site it was just impossible to build up enough points to stay there.

Been a while since I have updated in here and that is because I have not been playing poker much since last time apart from the odd Freeroll when I feel like doing one. I am still up £60 this year which is good for me as the last few years I have been on the big losing end, but the last week or so I have been getting my poker love back but as with my rule of this year I am only using money from freerolls.
Not been doing well at all in any and this is getting to me since this happens the most on 888 for some reason. It could be a number of reasons such as more idiot players, variance or 888 just hates me but I seem to be on a bad downswing in variance when I always get my money in. I am riding it out but it just gets me down and gets me angry as it seems to be an occurring theme via 888 lately(Apart from SNG's for some reason which I have shipped a few 6 man ones the last few days)
Had a $2.60 bankroll but lost it through SNAP last night and to two players getting a set against me in a space of five minutes, which this second one taking biscuit.

Anyway, the good thing is, that this is only to do with free money and is small amounts so there is nothing to be really angry about but it would be nice to actually go through a period of not losing to people lucking out with bad calls and stuff for once.
Good to get that off my chest, hopefully everyone else is doing well and if so say so in here so this thread can have some good news for once.

This is the b******t I have to deal with every day. Playing well after registering late and this as soon as this guy joined this table he has been going all in every few hands with any ace rag or rubbish card and then I get this hand as usual and you know how it is going to end. I really thought I was going to get far in this and this b******t happens. If it was something like 89 or something it would have been more tolerable. Everyone else on the table were playing properly too.
It's really getting a point now where I am wondering how I keep losing in all ins with massive pocket pairs or the constant beats and from nothing suckouts when I am ahead and unless its just variance from different idiot players or I just run worse then most players(Which I am thinking now)
