Bursting the Poker Bubble

It's been 15 or so days since I've updated this blog...Sorry Folks!

I've been experiencing some technical difficulties with my DSL Cable the past few weeks and Bell Sympatico is taking one hellofah long time to fix it! So that's one of many reasons why I haven't updated my blog and haven't been playing much online poker on Pokerstars...Right now, I'm using a faded WiFi connection from some unknown source -- Hopefully the signal strength will hold before I finish the blog...

No need for debate -- Bubbling out of a poker tourney or SNG just plain sucks. I'd rather go broke early in the game than getting eliminated just before the payout structure. The reason is obvious -- After hours and hours of concentration and patience you put into a tourney, fate slaps you in the face and you end up getting eliminated just out of the money...makes you wanna throw a chair like Phil.

PS BS Update: I'm playing a Turbo SNG as I type this blog...I'm dealt cowboys on the big blind. Someone makes a bet of $180 (blinds are only 15-30) I smooth call and hit my set on the flop (A-K-4). I check, he raises huge and I'm all In...He calls with AQ. He catches runner runner, Jack, Ten. I'm out...Gross!

I played two 180 player tourney's on PS sometime last week...The first tourney, I had a slow start; didn't see any hands until the 5th level and I had to make moves, fast. So I made some gutsy moves and doubled up a few times...
The 2nd tourney, I was dealt every hand you can imagine -- AA, KK, AK, QQ, KK again! I doubled, tripled, quadroupled up within the first 20 minutes of the tourney and was 2nd out of 180 players. Here's a shot of one of the biggest pots I won early in the game:


Make things short:

$1080 First Place
180 Entries
18 Players Get Paid Out...

Both Tourney's, I finished a frustrating 21st...Yes, 21st place on both tourney's. Argh!
Situations like this make you wanna throw a chair out the window or act like this donkey down here.......

I'm Tired of this PS BS...
