I just had one of those awesome situations where you get a great hand and find somebody that wants to play :)

Playing 6handed, a really tight player raised it up to 4 times the big blind, I've got position and a pair of 8s so I just call. Flop came down 8A8 and he checks to me. Usually in this situation I would just check, but I got the impression if he had kings or queens that I wouldn't make any money anyway and I'm hoping he's on an ace of some sort so I decided to bet half the pot. He comes straight over the top with a big raise which I just call and the next card is a 3. He pushes all in, I obviously called very fast with quad eights and he shows a pair of aces to make a full house. River brings a queen and a happy story that I can write on here about!

Ouch, poor guy! Nice one for you though :)
 
Won £125 in about 25 mins tonight.. Always seem to play better after a few pints!

Best hand was calling an all-in for $85, I'd bet $25 on a 10-7-4 board, he showed 4-5 (I had A-10) :)

Balance at the start of the week was $100, it's now $600, playing .50/1, with a few sports bets too.

> dazzosheps18 wins $370.90 with Two Pair, Aces over Threes and kicker card Jack

I did put $100 and lost it, then another $150.
Read the hand right, his bet on the turn looked like a stone cold bluff, and expected a re-raise with AK/AQ.

you went all in for £40 odd quid on a pair of 10s?
 
Im currently playing in the Victor Chandler $35,000 guaranteed tourny.

Started with 1362 players, theres 121 left, im sitting about 106th at the mo, ive made the money, $45 which goes up to $50 when one more goes out.

3 hour break is on at the mo and the blinds are up to 5000/2500, ive got 16,640 at the mo, so a bit more than 2 rounds of blinds left before im forced to make a move.

I had bad luck last night, stuck £10 in, lost all but $1.50 and went in a 50 man $1 tourny which i won, then came 3rd in a $10 20 man tourny, giving me $45, i came 10th in a 300 man tourny earlier, which was gutting, but i still got about $70 for it.

Just won an all in and up to 47,780 now :) takes me up to about 70th.
 
Nice! I've been playing on my Gf's pokerstars account this evening (Redeposited my money cos i've gotta start revising!) Won 8/8 5$ SNG Headsup!
 
ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!

Just had my worst ever beat on PKR. Playing a $2-£4 cash game, had about an $85 stack. For about 5 or so hands there had been one guy pushing large amounts in, most of the time not getting called and what he did he won with a mid-pair.

Get dealt Ac Qs and raise to $12. No one calls except this guy. Flop comes out Ad Qc 6h. Fed up with his antics I go all-in, not expecting him to call. He does though and shows 3h 7h of all things.

**** me sideways if the flop doesnt come out 4h Jh. I could have smacked him one :mad:

I'm actually shaking with rage staring at the hand history.

*edit*
Sorry to go all KW, just needed to vent :(
