The Good, the Bad, and the Faldo

K9isadog didn’t make the final table on PokerStars, but it was close enough. After all, 1000 players were in the thing. K9 took 12th and made a smooth 12 times his entry.

That was the ‘good’. Now for the “bad and down right ugly. Here is how Faldo cashes.

mikeniks: shows [Ad 3h] (three of a kind, Threes)

I finished 244th and got a smooth 2.21 times my entry.

It’s only been three straight months of this. How do you win less than 1/4th of the hands where you are the leader on the flop and turn – and do this for 3 consecutive months???

I’m joining BBOPSA (Bad Beats on PokerStars Anonymous) on Tuesday. Fight Club is less painful than this group. “Hi. My name is Faldo – and I whine about my bad beats.”

But, congrats to K9isadog. Nice job!

I had 6 months straight of that stuff at pokerstars. July through December. I hear you partner. I hope you don't do 3 more months.
Then there was Sunday. Deep in the Sunday million. Already in cash. Sittin as one of the smaller stacks but not hurtin yet. Get KK and push it with one caller with a monster stack and poor ratings. He has Q3 off. Flop uninteresting, turn Q, river Q. Disgusting. Instead of competing for a quarter million I get $300.00 DD
