Well, you guys may have kicked me around this week (I knew you had designs on my second place spot, **Missy** ), but I’ve taken it out on the other hapless PT players. Just took second place in todays $10-$100 added 4pm tournament. Go me, again! ---

I’m playing the .99 Limit - _I’M IN 1ST!_ - started with 122, down to 19… _crosses fingers_ ---

ended 4th - $9.66. That works for me considering it’s the first large tourney I’ve entered. ---

Good job **Miss Take**! I was also playing in that tournament and was as high as fifth, but I got killed when my pocket Jacks lost to pocket 5s that got a set on the turn…ARRRRGGHHHH. Ended up 28th. Limit Hold’Em kind of annoys me. You can’t shake players, and they stick around with crap and get lucky. I think I will play in the $5 no’limit this afternoon. **Yeticus** , how’d you do last night? ---

How about this for a bad way to go out of a tournament: I have AK suited and I go all-in. It’s early in the tournament and I am not low stacked or anything like that. The person right behind me calls, putting themsleves almost all-in, too. We show our cards and she also has AK but it is unsuited. So this should split the pot about 90% of the time. I should win about 7.5% and I will lose about 2.5%. Well, you probably can guess what happened, she got the flush on the river. ARRRGGHHH ---

I have a good one. I’m in the $5 tourney. Down to the final 4. I go all in preflop with pocket 9s. Guy calls me. Turns out he has K/Q off suit. Flop comes out K/K/Q(Oh the pain). It gets worse though, as he hits a 4th K on the river. Coin flip turned into an ass beating heh. ---

> [@Gangster Octopus](#): > > **Yeticus** , how’d you do last night? Two bad beats in a row did me in after the break…alot of Jacks conspired against me in both hands when I was holding pocket queens in one hand, Kings in the other. But last night’s $5 tournament took the cake…on my fourth hand, I was dealt bullets. I raised 100. Five callers. Flop: AK5 all off suit for a set. I checked, the 3rd guy bets 500, two players fold and I go all-in. First guy on my left calls, the second guy folds and the original bettor calls. Turn: J offsuit from the other cards, so no possible flushes. The other two bettors had some pocket change left, and they went all-in. River: T. I became extremely sheepish, knowing that one of those two guys had a queen for a straight. One did and the other guy had aces and kings and got the boot as well…so I was the first one out, and he was the second one out, and the guy that straighted was launched into first place for quite a while…_sigh_. And then I hopped into a .25/.50 game and got BOTH entry fees back for those two sucky losses. 😃 ---

I didn’t have any money online for various reasons, and I don’t have my main bank account hooked up to my firepay account, so I couldn’t put any money on the site. But I felt like playing, and my friend lent me $100 on paradise poker the other day. The first night I wasn’t really focused or playing well and sunk down to $45… So… yesterday I started off with $45, and just absolutely dominated every game I was in last night and today. Turned that $45 into over $1050 in a day. So when I get around to cashing out I’ll put some money on this site. ---

Does everyone/anyone realize there is an SDMB private tourney scheduled for tonight, Wednesday July 27th, and nothing for tomorrow? ---

Hopefully there’s a game on tonight, and PT didn’t mess things up too bad, like **GO** seems to be saying. I’m ready and rarin’ to go. ---

> [@Gangster Octopus](#): > > Does everyone/anyone realize there is an SDMB private tourney scheduled for tonight, Wednesday July 27th, and nothing for tomorrow? I went and looked after this was posted and I didn’t see one scheduled, in progress, or completed. Makes me wonder if it was a glitch or a cookie issue or what. At any rate, hope everybody can make it this evening. I’ve trash-talked **Yeti** to get him riled up (like he needs riling), and I’m sure **MissTake** has blood in her eye. I saw in GQ where **CapnPitt** is having computer meltdown issues, that can’t be good… ---

Yeah **Duke** not good at all. I’m out for tonight. With a little luck and a cash infusion, I should have a new machine this weekend. While I’m sorry I’m out again, I look forward to the results. ---

Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m slackin’ again. Here are this quarter’s results so far: 1. Duke of Rat 77.79% 2. Yeticus Rex 75.74% 3. Aholibah 59.94% I resubmitted tonight’s game, but if it doesn’t show up by about 8pm, I’ll give them a call. ---

Just wanted to let potential late-comers know that there’s a version upgrade, so you need to allow a little extra time for signing on. Hoping (but not sure) to make it tonight! ---

I’ll be there, giving **Duke** the smackdown he deserves. I’ve been just missing out of the money in those latenight 11pm PDT $5+.50 games…I need to stop making that one critical mistake that keeps me out of the money. Last night…I went all-in with J6h (I was BB) with two hearts on the flop, leaving me a decent flush draw…also the offcard was a J, giving me a pair, but the other guy had a K matched up with the Kh on the flop…turn and river cards: diamond rags. Doh! ---

I will be there…80% sure. I seem to be getting bad beats every tournament. Last night I was playing in the $5 Charity and was doing ok. Was in for about half my chips (the blinds were pretty substantial) with K10o and on the flop it K-10-6 rainbow. I bet the pot, and I get raised all-in, whcih I of course call. Dude has AQ and gets his friggin’ J on the turn and with a blank on the river I’m out… 20th out of 50. At least I lasted longer than Charity. It seems to me that there are a lot of straights and flushes at Pokertropolis ---
