Card Games?

So this is what it's like to suck out haha. It feels good. I'd easily much rather be the luckiest player on earth than the best.

AK suited = premium drawing hand = the best hand to suck someone out with.

btw does anyone think this thread sounds gay & pornographic? lots of talk about floppy nuts and sucking out.

Last night I actually had more suckouts than I was "sucked"... (LOL)

That hand; then had QQ against J7. Unbeknownst to me, he hit 2 pairs on the flop, but I hit running K's to win. A5 vs. A8. THe board was Q5Q, but an ace hit on the turn and I was in pretty bad shape just hoping for a high card for a tie on the river. A 5 came... Then had AJ vs. A10. THe guy hit a 10 on the turn but I had a J on the river.

I was actually ahead for most of them going in, but did need some luck. Actually got up to $10 in winnings again, but dropped back under $9 eventually.

Today gonna be out all day, so when have to catch up late tonight... Have 2 more months to build up my bonus payout.

My luck’s been better lately and not been getting bad beat to death like earlier. I am now up to $17+ in winnings, not counting the $20 bonus cleared so far. That’s pretty good since I only play the 1 cent/2 cent blinds. I have another month to clear as much bonus as I can. Then I am out.

If I didn’t go on tilt some weeks back after those crazy bad beats, I should be up about $30 now (and $50 if I count the bonus).

Dude, see if you can satellite into the Double Deuce or one of the big sunday tourneys just using your FTP. My cousin just won $900. I won $40 about 3 months ago just from satelliting in with FTP points.

If you've been playing this long, even just at 1cent tables you should have about 50-100 FTP at least by now.

Magic the Gathering is my preferred card game of choice. VC is also fun :P

I've tried the sit and go tournament twice. Didn't do so well. 7th and 13th place out of 27 players. I'll prolly use up all my FTPs before I quit.

Didn't catch any cards. Only was able to survive by using position and stealing a few pots and playing tight. Last hand I remember I had to shove all in shortstacked with K10 one spot from button. And got 3 callers LOL. I knew I was dead.

FT has a pretty cool promotion going on right now. $50 bonus for just playing at two tables at the same time for 25 days out of the month.

I started keeping track of my daily balance. In just short of 3 wks, I’ve only had 3 losing days, so my luck’s been far better lately. I also just disconnect whenever I get 2 or 3 bad beats in a row, and that’s worked.

I won a 54 player tournament to earn a shot at free entry to a $1.5 million tournament next week. I still need to finish in the top 100 in the qualifying tournament though. Damn I withdrew my $ and was just playing to use up my last FT points. Didn’t expect to win, but now I am drawn back in.

I would be extremely happy if I could make the tournament and win the lowest prize, which is $450.
