get it in with aces about 30mins into a tourney. flop comes 867 I shove flop with AA and it holds.

about 45mins later

I have a 16k stack. avg stack is 8k. someone raises UTG I repop og raiser shoves. I call. he has QQ I have AA and of course flop comes heart heart heart and he has 1 heart and gets there on the river. I win that im making a deep run in that bitch. brutal

Aue, such is the game we chose to play!

Looking at your join date and post count I feel as though I'm talking to a ghost that's been resurrected from the past! It apparent that this forum was once very active. Hope to hear more from you (I think?)!

I assume that was online, Where do you play?

That's a tough way to lose, but at least it was only 30 mins into the tourney. You had a nice stack too, so it must have been the two chip leaders at the table going head to head.

Good to see American players talking again, what sites are you guys using at the moment. I think this forum was once very busy. oh and btw sad times with the tourney coolers like that always suck.

Mostly live poker for me but I play on Merge when I play online.

And you?

Hey Garage. I play mainly on Stars at the moment. People talk about how tough it is and there are some v good players on there but with that amount of traffic there are a good deal of fishy players too. I am from UK so after black Friday didn't know where you guys were mainly playing. I guess now there are sites that take American players they will start to get a large amount of traffic.

I'm not american(Canadian), but most american players are either playing on the Merge Network, Carbon Poker, Black Chip..etc or at Bet Online. I think Lock Poker will also become a big site for american players.

I used to play a good amount of tourneys back then, Had tough breaks here and there. Just waned to share with you all to remind how donkaments sometimes are.


and Yes, I've been a long time member here

Yeah there is a lot of variance in donkaments, I try to find the ones with slower blinds so I won't be forced to make tough decisions early in the tournaments.

Poker is this kind of game. Sometimes when my cards are running, i am like, well it is skill. However if they are not running everything else is rigged.. hehe. you guys know what I mean?
How long you have played? I have played like 2 months, kind of just came from army draft.
