Earlier in the day I was playing a session of Full Tilt Poker. I really don’t like the site, but I play for the bonus/rakeback. My preference is Poker Stars, and I am considering transferring all the goods to Stars. Anyway, I had suffered a horrible beat the night before when my TPTK get rivered by a 3 outer, and a very tough hand, QQ vs. AA. We got it all in pre-flop and I hold the ladies, the villain holds the Aces. Well the first card that hits the board is a beautiful red Queen, Booyaa! The last card that hits the board is ugly red Ace, Double Booyaa!
Today was the same kind of day. Again, I am dealt pocket Queens in the BB on a very aggressive table. I cannot get my PAHUD running, so I have no information on the players at the table, except they raise and re-raise very liberally. Well the agro UTG raises, as normal and get called by the button, another very active player. This is the perfect time for a squeeze, however I had squeezed 3 hands prior with AK and everyone folded. I like my hand against the ranges, but still the Queens are weak with a bad flop. I re-raise a little over pot because of positional issues, the UTG player folds, but I am called by the button. The flop is the worst yet. I am out of position with an AK6 rainbow board. Still I lead out for ¾ pot as a c-bet and the button thinks a second and shoves for 1 ½ buy-ins. WTF! I take all of the 15 seconds FTP offers to make a decision and I can’t see me winning. A couple of hands later the villain types in the chat box, “Pocket 6’s”. Whatever.
Later in the morning session, I find myself in another tricky spot. I call a min. raise from a guy who plays (57/17/1). Now this guy seems weak and I call from the BB with a suited Q/T. The flop is Q49 rainbow, I lead out and the guy shoves for less than ½ a buy-in. Well I figure he shoves anything and I call. The guy has KK! Well he holds up and wins the pot. I typed in, “Surprised you shoved such a strong hand”. Man, for 10 minutes the guy slaughters me for “whining” and making a “bad read”. I bite and say, “Hey, I called because of your stats, and by the way, nh”. The guy now challenges me to a heads up dual, and blah, blah blah. Why is this? I mean the guy wins a pot with kings, and I am an idiot who can’t play. There is so much disrespect online it isn’t funny. I can only imagine it getting worse as school is out. I vow never to chat again!
