I am out very early in my opinion. I was playing to win and tried to make a move that was ill timed. I had pocket 7's walk into a pair of pocket kings and my 7's lost. I got no complaints about losing to a real hand. be cool mates hope others run deep

Posted by nahramulius: my opinion about pocket 7's is not good. So often other player have stronger pocket hand. So, what was your tactic? Not all in pre flop, I hope?
No It was a min bet situation preflop. The flop was something like 5 6 2 rainbow so my 7's was an over pair to the board. My opponent checked and I did not want to even see any more cards and since I had a table rep as a tight nit I tried to just steal the pot right there and put in an all in shove which the other guy thought about a long time before calling. He turned over kings and my heart sank. He told me he almost folded thinking I had hit a set but he just could not bring himself to fold his kings. I got no complaint about the hand I was playing to win. be cool

tough luck ronin
today i played first 'real' session after being ill for so long, and well i lost 3 BI so it wasnt that pretty but after being ill for so long, i could care less. i simply didnt care one bit (probably because i still got healthy br but i guess i just simply decided to stop spending so much time thinking about stuff that doesnt really matter all that much) (like losing 1/50 of br, which in the past would make me at least a bit sad, now i couldnt care less ).
so lets all enjoy being healthy and lose our br in happiness. ok disregard that last part, but being healthy really is cool

I try it again and again, but this room really sucks. The micro millions are a great tournament series for low roller, but the neverending suckouts story at stars are so bad. And i never had a good run there in the last five years...

G'day mate
Yes well I can certainly understand how you feel. PokerStars does seem to reward bad poker play way to much. However it has made them the largest online poker site in the world. The donks keep playing on stars because they do keep winning there. It frustrates me at times. wishing you all the best be cool
