Turn around????

Well, if you would've asked me 4 hours ago, i would've told you i may have turned things around. Ask me now, and i'll tell you i think fulltilt has stuck it to me enough for the month, but stars isn't quite done.

I booked a solid $240 win on fulltilt today. Nothing much to report about the session, other then the best hand held up most of the time (funny how i win money when that happens). One significant hand that I KNOW i would've lost a week ago went like this. I called a min raise from an early position guy with 22...6 ppl saw the flop of 852 with 2 clubs...original raiser bets 4...i'm next to act so i make like 12....get 3 f ing smooth calls....and then the original riaser pushes all in for 50 (playing .25-.50)...im not worried about him since id basically bet the house he has AA, but i am slightly worried about the other guys....never the less, i'm not folding this, so i call the push...and SO DO THE OTHER 3 GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 of us all in...when the other 3 guys called, i figured soneone had a set...nope....original guy had AA, 2 of the other morons had flush draws ( like 109 of clubs and k8 of clubs), and the 3rd guy had 34 for an open ended straight draw....somehow, the 3rd club never came, and my hand held, and i won a monster...ty fulltilt!!

Pokerstars on the other hand....can die!! 8th hand of my session, i get set over set when the flop comes A94 and i have 99...clearly i'm up agaisnt the Aces...down $100 instantly...about 30 minutes later i get it all in pre flop with AA on a KQ874 board...other guy had KK...thankfully he didnt have a fullstack....somehow i managed to with like $40 in this sessions of about 500 hands. Then i sit down to play about 3 hours ago...and got killed....lost like $170...2 sweet hands....i have AA in sb...folded to button who is tight, who makes it $4....i re raise to 13...he calles...flop come 764...(this is a good flop since he's tight, i KNOW he wouldn't call a re raise with any of this junk)...so i bet like 24 (almost pot).....he calls.....turn Q...FUCK!! he could easily have QQ here...so i check...he checks behind...river pairs the board iwith a 4...i'm ready to just check call since i feel he has QQ...he bets like 35...i HAVE to call...he turns over QQ...nice 2 outer for ya! I actually think i lost the minimum cuz if i bet the turn, we're getting it all in if he raises. This last hand is buggin me, and is just a classic example of pokerstars whoring me...utg min raises (STRONG) gets like 6 callers, and i'm in the BB with 68s...i call...flop Q86 (YES!!!!) i check, utg bets the pot...gets 1 call...here's where i make my move...i check raise him to like $43...he INSTA PUSHES for like $65 more....other guy folds and its on me...looking back, i think i should've folded becuz he would have to be a true donk to make that play with AA or KK after my huge check riase...so i grudgingly call....he turns over QQ for top set when i flopped 2 pair...gg murph.

After this last hand, i just INSTANTLY shut pokerstars down...i was in such a good mood after the fulltilt session, and that happens...so frusterating!! NOTHING holds anymore, or i get put in spots that are next to impossible to get away from...not to mention i don't hit my draws anymore...sigh...

Oh well, it was a winning day on the whole, and hopefully i've turned it around on fulltilt ( i actually changed my avatar b4 i played today...and killed it...i think there is something to that...i'm now the donkey, with a confused look on his face)
