Online Poker Tournaments

i am on pokerstars as well, and just caught a bad bad beat. I am holding pocket Q's, and the flop comes 2 2 Q. So I bet about 200, and a guy re-raises me to 400. I go all in with about 2200, he calls, and turns over pocket deuces. Quad 2's against full house, the turn and river didn't help at all. And this was in a 1 table $25 tourney....

well did you raise pre flop? if you didnt then sorry but you sort of deserve that beat for letting him stay in cheap with a bad hand. If you did raise preflop maybe you raised to much and his pot odds were good or he was just an idiot that played a garbage hand. Oh well its players like him that are most profitable in the long run.

no THIS is a bad beat:

Final stages of online multi tourny, first price about 1k dollars. im on par for being top 1-5 easily, though we are two people out of the money. i am at the table as number one position, with the second and third place same table.

i get pocket rockets. im doing raise check raise, and eventually me and someone else are both all-in for about 70k chips (he has me covered by about 3k chips). he shows Q-10 offsuit (who the hell would call 70k chips with a Q10 off?) and the flop is Q-Q-10, with the turn another 10 for good measure. 6 on the river (an Ace here would have been great).

i have a friend who last year was using his winnings to pay his tuition and got a new computer. last i knew he was up ~$20k, i think i heard he lost some of that though. that's probably why it's taking him an extra year to do school though

i use my winnings to mod my wrx and buy computer s***

 

[jred321]

i just don't win



or play for that matter

yup poker is great mod money. I only for a few hours a week and usually turn average 600 a week. It usually about 12 hundred but i get burnt out quickly and have to give it a 2 week break. It sort of becomes my 2nd job sometimes and then starts being a PITA.

I ended up winning a seat to a Tourney on Monday that is a $150 buy in and 20th place pays $1000. First pays $25000.
