Another day another dollar

Didn't play too much yesterday, played 3 sng's, came in 3rd twice (sometimes i have to realize top pair isn't always good lol) and won about 50 bucks playing cash games. Took some bad beats, delivered some bad beats, yada yada yada, so goes the grind of poker.

I've got the night off tonight, so i'm looking for a big score at some point today. I think i'm gonna play in a couple of bigger buy in multi tables then i usually do, so between that, and the 10 hours+ i plan on playing today, i'm looking for big things!

Didn't anyone see the absolute poker scam that recently was outed?? If you aren't familar with it, someone apparently cracked the system, and was able to see his opponets hole cards while playing!!!!!!!!! Yes, you read that right!!! This guy could see EVERYONE'S holecards. Needless to say he just CLEANED UP in some big tournaments. Eventually, people caught on to it (i think it took about a week) and absolute poker did an investigation into it, and sure enough, it was an inside job...someone working for abosolute poker!! (i may be getting a few minor facts incorrect here, so don't take my word as the law, but its damn near close to it lol). But yeah, opinons were very mixed in the poker community where some people just chalked this users luck up to variance, while others thought it was just impossible and someone had to be cheating. I actually just got done watching the video of one the tournaments he played ontube. (just type in absolute poker and it will come up, its a 4 part series with each part being about 8 minutes) and it is just HILARIOUS!!!! I'm not sure how the footage got posted online but you should do yourself a favor and watch it. I literally was laughing out loud at some of these plays he was making. I mean, you have to question things when this guy saw like %85 of the flops, and not ONCE made a bad call on the river!!! NOT A SINGLE TIME!!!!! Everytime he got to the river, he either folded, or raised....he didn't even call (why would he call if he knew he was beat, or if he knew he had the best had). I'm telling you, even if you don't watch the whole thing, just watch a few mintues of it. You will literally just sit there and shake your head!!

Anyway, for all the people saying i told you internet poker was rigged and thats why they won't play.....buy a clue! For 99.9% of the ppl. that play, we all play lower level games. Now if someone did have to capabilities to crack the system, do you really think they are going to play 1-2 nl???? or even 25-50 nl??? NO!!!! They are going to sit and the highest limit games that are be being offered, and just clean up. So, there is NOTHING to worry about!! Anyway, getting ready to make some dinner, and start my night with the $5 rebuy on stars!
