Broke the 200 site Mark!

Visited over 200 poker sites now. Things you do to entertain yourself when alone in motel rooms - between showers after a porn movie that is.

Visited Tropical Poker - a site recomended by Maggie of Poker Happs. I found very few players and only SNG tourneys available. OUT

Pokerspot is closed and Dutch Boyd - the pro that owned it - is said by some to owe around $500,000 to players that got stuck when the site closed. OUT

Third Bullet is actually True Poker. A nice site with 3-D graphics, but not many tournaments or SNG action. OUT

Full Contact Poker is Daniel Negreanu's new poker site and it is nothing more than a skin of the Poker Room. Hollywood Poker and a few others are also skins of this site. I checked Danny's old site - Poker Mountain and it is closed for maintenance. Both sites - OUT

Lets Poker is a Doyle's Room skin, but unlike Pamela's Poker or Platinum Poker, this site adds eight cards to the deck - and 11 card and a 12 card. These eight cards are unsuited, however. The thought is these added cards will limit the flush and straight bad beats from happening so often. It may temporarily increase action as pairs go up in value, but why can't you get bad beat by a pair of 12's on the river beating your tens? Or your AA losing to two pair - KK and 11's? People will play K-11 probably more than K-8. Just a thought. OUT

Poker sites are becoming like margarine, car batteries and cosmetics - different names but all the same stuff - just different labels.

Is K Q J W E a str8?

Is K Q J T 9 no longer a str8?

How is the deck enumerated:
23456789TEWJQKA ?

where E = Eleven
and W = Twelve

AND the E's and W's have no suits?

Made 36 donuts at the 3/6 horse table in less than a half hour and quit for the evening. Going back tomorrow nite.
The money hand was 7studHL:
3 way action and I had a 75432 on 6th street vs a 76 poss low and the 3rd player was going high.
I caught a 6 on the river and the 76 poss low didn't improve, but the other player made a flush on the river, so we split, but it was lots to split. The 76 was juicing me and I kept rejuicing for most of the hand. The flush kept me from scooping, man I nailed a nice river, online is rigged. :r

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to mr luckout [6d 6s]
ZeemJr: folds
Stealyourdoh: folds
spahern: folds
JoshuaD_T_H: folds

I decide to play this hand,
but normally I've been folding it at this table, everyone has been playing and raising with big ones.

mr luckout: raises $5 to $10
Rockethead08: raises $5 to $15

Arg, I knew it...

JC-TheGuide: folds
OnTheBreak: folds
Constant: calls $13
rivertapped: calls $10

Both blinds call 2 raises, wtf?
This table waaaas tight.

mr luckout: calls $5
*** FLOP *** [9d Th 7d]
Constant: checks
rivertapped: checks

The blinds check to me.
Normally I check and fold this
--- now piece of garbage, but...
Could I have the best hand here?
I have to bet here to continue with this hand, so I do, thinking maybe AK is behind me and will raise the blinds out.

mr luckout: bets $5
Rockethead08: calls $5

This is no good, I didn't get raised.

Constant: calls $5
rivertapped: calls $5

...and now the blinds are still limping, NOO GOOD. :(

*** TURN *** [9d Th 7d] [2s]
Constant: checks
rivertapped: checks

Well, I got lucky here (maybe), an offsuit deuce falls on the turn, and it's checked to me, so I have to fire again. I know - I'm insane, but I've come this far, maybe these fags don't have anything.

mr luckout: bets $10
Rockethead08: folds
Constant: folds

Two players fold, YES!!!

rivertapped: calls $10

The BB is still trying to mergitroid me, what could he have?
Diamond draw?
QJ?
87?

I really don't like that 87 possibility.

*** RIVER *** [9d Th 7d 2s] [6h]
rivertapped: checks

What do I do now, it's checked to me.
I wanted to check real bad.
But, I think I'm beat, so I give it one last flailing attempt of extreme strength, to hopefully muscle him off of say, J9, or JT.
I feel I'm reaching, but I've come this far, who knows...

mr luckout: bets $10
rivertapped: calls $10

Arg, he called me.
He surely has an 8.
Ohhhh, the pain, the agony...

*** SHOW DOWN ***

mr luckout: shows [6d 6s] (three of a kind, Sixes)
rivertapped: mucks hand
mr luckout collected $117 from pot

I win?

------ YAY !!!

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $120 | Rake $3
Board [9d Th 7d 2s 6h]
Seat 1: mr luckout showed [6d 6s] and won ($117) with three of a kind,
Sixes
Seat 2: Rockethead08 folded on the Turn
Seat 3: JC-TheGuide folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 4: OnTheBreak (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 5: Constant (small blind) folded on the Turn
Seat 6: rivertapped (big blind) mucked [Ad Js]
Seat 7: ZeemJr folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: Stealyourdoh folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: spahern folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 10: JoshuaD_T_H folded before Flop (didn't bet)

He called me with ace high.
Probably put me on a diamond draw.

I didn't think I was going to get there.
That was a close one.

Bet on the end was stupid. You only get called if you are beat.

I was in a big field tourney and the guy with 500 chips (average is 3000, I got 2400) types, "Tired, out of here" and goes all in.

I got squat and fold. One guy calls him with KQs. Mr. Tired has J2.

Flop JJ6 and he doubles.

Mr. Tired all in next hand too. Two callers and they have JJ and AJ. Mr. Tired 82. Board comes 97K65. Mr. Tired triples up.

Next hand, Mr. Tired goes all in and gets 3 callers. They have AK, 66 and KJs. Mr. Tired has QQ.

Board is Q23A7, and Mr. Tired has almost 10,000 chips. Then the table broke up.

Enough to make a grinder puke!
