Would love to get down to d2d, but not sure my Bankroll would agree if it's $200+ buy-ins! I'm mainly a $50NL cash game player on Stars, so would probably be getting involved in a few cash games and a max $100 tourney.....they have these?!

Just got dumped out of a live £20 freezeout in spectacular fashion 
157 entries, 102 left, blinds 400-800 and me with 75k chips (probably overall chip lead, but no idea - massive lead at my table though). A new guy moved to my table with about 40k chips, two seats to my left. Five maybe six hands of folding and I know precisely nothing about him apart from that he might be a little tight. Got dealt 66 in middle position, limped in after action was folded to me and called a raise to 3000 from this guy. Flopped a full house (633), checked it, then called a 7000 chip raise (overbet of the century I thought...). Turn was a 5 and I bet half the pot in the hope that this guy was messing around with a straight draw and had hit his straight, he instantly shoved all-in. Instant call from me and he showed aces... Of course he hit his ace on the river, which I took in good humour and shrugged it off as "one of those things".
A few hands of inactivity from me and I was on the button looking down at black aces. Everyone folds to me and I decide to raise to 2400. Small blind folds, same guy from above hand calls. Flop comes down AK10 all diamonds. It gets checked to me and I realise that I could get in serious trouble if another diamond comes down so I fire 3000 chips. Gets raised to 6000 (strangest raise I have ever seen with hindsight) and I'm a little suspicious of him having made the flush already - I hoped that he had so that I could double up if I made a house. Turn is the ace of hearts giving me quads. I might have decided to bet, but I didn't want to represent AK or A10 making a full house. The other guy bets half the pot and I decide that it is time to shove. Instant call from me and he flips QJd... It felt like half of the room came over to have a look at the river after somebody shouted out the details of the hand. Probably had 25 people tell me how unlucky I was, but I still feel like crap - this is the second time that I have had quad aces busted by a royal flush... Isn't that suposed to be a once in a lifetime badbeat???
I was planning on playing the cash game if I got knocked out early, but I thought best avoiding any kind of tilt! I'm supposed to be playing in the £100 marathon freezeout tomorrow, but I don't think I can show my face in the casino for a while after tonight.

First hand is a raise pre-flop imo - when you get re-raised with your 66 you could think about foldingJust got dumped out of a live £20 freezeout in spectacular fashion

I wouldn't fold, but since he had AA and was likely to re-raise you heavily you might have been able to lay it down then.That said as played it is a definitely unlucky that you made that hand and you didn't really do anything wrong.
Second hand is a total bad luck as well. You're never folding top set. Be thankful you still get action from QJs when you're holding AA
I wouldn't hold tilty feelings for long - after all you haven't done anything wrong
I've said this to you before Rotty, I will be up for some DTD action at some point hopefully in the near future.
I have a lot of problems (personal) at the moment, but once these are sorted I'll be up for a game.
Add me to msn Rotty and we'll have a chat

Got another addition to my bad beat collection last night
£10 live rebuy tournament, blinds up at 800-1600 and I hadn't played a hand in over an hour. I actually announced to the table that I was playing mega tight and intended to fold my way to the final table with my 22k chips and wouldn't play anything but aces... Obviously not entirely true, but I folded so much that I'm sure most people would believe I was folding jacks/AQ to a decent raise.
The inevitable then happens, I got my aces and got knocked out! UTG has roughly 4000 chips and shoves with AK. I min-raise expecting the rest of the table to fold, but hoping for a single caller and a non-scary flop. The guy to my left calls with what turned out to be 98s. Then the next person shoves with about 30k chips (great I thought!!) - turns out that he had AK too. Action then folds around to the big blind who thinks about it for about 5 minutes or so. Surprisingly, everybody was polite and stayed quiet which was nice to see in such a big hand. Eventually he folds and it turns out to be the best laydown I have ever seen...
Obviously, at this point I'm calling with my aces. Didn't even pretend to think about it. Next guy has massive amounts of chips, not sure exactly how many, but at least 3 or 4 times more than anyone else. He calls with his 98s and jokes about having the only hand better than aces and brags about what great value he was getting...
Everyone turns over their cards, including the guy in the big blind as he asked to keep them to one side to show later. He folded kings, which was brilliant poker imo. As it happens, I also think that the call from the guy with 98s was also the correct thing to do, but he shouldn't have got involved to start with. With no aces or kings in the deck, the guys with AK were almost drawing dead - I only had to dodge the 98s. He made a straight and I just couldn't believe my eyes. I've been playing a bit loose in recent weeks and last night was an exercise in discipline for me. Some reward I got!
Still wasn't a total disaster though. I sulked off to play the £1/2 PL cash game, bought in for £125 and managed to turn that into £550ish thanks to some maniacs that were only wanted to play the £5/5 game and were bluffing at everything. Eventually, I took my money to the £5/5 game and was slightly disappointed to find they weren't quite so aggressive there, but I left at about 3.30am with £700. Pretty profitable night, but I am still gutted about the hand in the itsy bitsy teeny weeny £10 rebuy tourney!
Sorry for the long and probably incoherent/innacurate post, I wrote all of that very quickly!

Haven't played in a while so deposited $50 into Full Tilt earlier. Jumped into a HA (10 mins Pot limit hold'em, 10 mins PL Omaha Hi) $24+2, $3k GTD tournament.
125 runners, top 12 paid, and Lee Watkinson for company.
4 hours and 20 minutes later, I emerge with $397.50 and a bloody well earned 3rd place for my effort. I've never played such good poker in my life, but my final hand was a killer on omaha. Flopped the nut straight with a straight flush draw, so pushed for 75k, chip leader called with 2 pair and boated. Swine! It was all over 2 hands later, winner took $900, 2nd took $570.

$120 profit for today so far. Just cracked aces with a 2-3-7-A board, 2 clubs, and I had A6c. Ended up going all in for $57, thinking I was ahead by a mile, and I was wrong. Rivered the flush to take a $113 pot, yay.
I managed to witness two dodgy rulings in one tournament the other day. Firstly, a woman claimed she had lost some chips that were left at the table during the first break, yet she could not say exactly how many, just roughly 2000... I like to think I'm a decent player and I like to keep track of how many chips people have and I am 99% certain that she was either lying or that she had miscounted. After much arguing with the tournament director, he gave her an extra 2000 chips and I was pretty much stunned. Everyone at the table was arguing about it, not a serious heated argument, but there was certainly some debate about what should have been done. After a couple of hands I suggested that we count every chip at the table and calculate that against how many rebuys there were, but I was told that the decision was made and that was the end of the matter... very frustrating.
Next up, I got beat out of a pot where another guy mucked his hand. We got to a showdown and I asked if he could beat two pair, he said nothing and tossed his hand face down into the muck. I turned over my cards and the pot was being pushed towards me, the other player then piped up saying that he had a better two pair. The dealer called across the floor guy and he listened to the story before awarding the pot to the other player. I pointed out that he mucked his hand and that it touched another card in the muck, but he was having none of it. I don't see how it is my fault if the other player doesn't protect his hand! Fair enough, I was losing anyway, but I was always taught guard your hand until you see that you are beaten. FWIW, the other guy rivered me too!
I think the situations above might have been playing on my mind a little later on when I was in full on lock-down poker mode. After being on the short stack for about an hour I got dealt A10 in the cutoff and after action folded to me. I raised about 3.5 times the blind when I had slightly less than 10BBs left and the button shoves. The big blind was already pot committed and barely had 3BBs left and she called. I forced myself into a silly spot after ages of playing very tight and I knew I made a mistake near instantly. I have no idea why I didn't just minraise, my table image was good enough to make people fold anything but solid hands and I could have gotten away from the buttons shove. It turns out he had aces and the small blind had AJ... I was disgusted with myself! Overall, not a great night
Sorry for turning this thread into my personal vent page. Next thing I write will be about how I made a runner runner straight to fluke a win, I promise!

Wow, reading this thread really makes me want to start playing poker properly. Sounds like there is a lot of potential to make some decent money.
Where you lads recommend I start? Is PKR still good?
Obviously I've got a lot of learning to do (as demonstrated in the recently poker tournies!) but I'm a gambling man with rakes of spare time.

I'm not sure I'd ever use PKR for real money games. There are too few players and it's all about the graphics instead of the gameplay. That said it's probably decent enough. Plus there's such a limited range of games you can play on it (only Hold'em and Omaha).
Pokerstars let you play miniscule blinds (1c/2c) - great for starting.
PKR is fine.
As a noob I deposited $25 and within about a week or two I lost it. Topped up $25 again and got up to near $60 and then lost it all. Topped it up a 3rd time and won $350 so my total was $375. Took $300 out and pocketed it and I'm sitting with the $75 in my account now which is equal to the three times I've topped up. $300 up and it's much nicer to look at than the other sites.
There are some pretty bad players there though but that can count for any site.

Didn't want to start a new thread - sorry to dig an old one up, but just had to rant a bit.
I'm getting sick of online poker. I know exactly what replies are going to say - "they lose in the long run" but I find that they DON'T, and it's idiots who chase miracles and catch.
I've been done over no less than 5 times in the last 3 days my absolute miracle outdraws. Whenever I go into idiot mode (which is VERY rare), I never catch a bloody cold, so why do these idiots (mostly swedish) think that playing an inside straight draw is a good hand every time?
Example 1:
I'm holding Ac Ah and raise it to 5x BB - I'm on 1,800 on a 6-seat table, blinds 40/80, 1 limper. 1 caller, 3c-4c-7c flop. I bet the pot which puts the caller all in, and he has Qc 5d. 6h comes on the turn and no club on the river for me.
Example 2:
The same tournament - I ended up coming back from 500 chips to win the table (shootout tourny) and getting to the FT. I have KJ, limped pot.
Flop: K-9-2, rainbow. I bet out, guy min raises but I'm a little suspicious and call. 10 turn, I check, he makes a small bet so I call. Junk card (maybe 4?) on the river, and I'm down to 500 chips so just push but even said in the chat "I know you have QJ, it's obvious" - I was correct, as bloody usual.
I really am sick and tired of it. I even try overbetting the pot but still get called and outdrawn.
End of rant, but it's sickening.

Admittedly checking the flop might have been a bad idea, but this guy is a calling station.
I was on 31,000 chips, he was on 25,000. I'm now on 7,500 and he's on 36,000.

Didn't want to start a new thread - sorry to dig an old one up, but just had to rant a bit.
I'm getting sick of online poker. I know exactly what replies are going to say - "they lose in the long run" but I find that they DON'T, and it's idiots who chase miracles and catch.
I've been done over no less than 5 times in the last 3 days my absolute miracle outdraws. Whenever I go into idiot mode (which is VERY rare), I never catch a bloody cold, so why do these idiots (mostly swedish) think that playing an inside straight draw is a good hand every time?
Example 1:
I'm holding Ac Ah and raise it to 5x BB - I'm on 1,800 on a 6-seat table, blinds 40/80, 1 limper. 1 caller, 3c-4c-7c flop. I bet the pot which puts the caller all in, and he has Qc 5d. 6h comes on the turn and no club on the river for me.
Example 2:
The same tournament - I ended up coming back from 500 chips to win the table (shootout tourny) and getting to the FT. I have KJ, limped pot.
Flop: K-9-2, rainbow. I bet out, guy min raises but I'm a little suspicious and call. 10 turn, I check, he makes a small bet so I call. Junk card (maybe 4?) on the river, and I'm down to 500 chips so just push but even said in the chat "I know you have QJ, it's obvious" - I was correct, as bloody usual.
I really am sick and tired of it. I even try overbetting the pot but still get called and outdrawn.
End of rant, but it's sickening.
What's a limper?
Someone who calls the big blind, no raise.
Playing a WSOP Satellite on Ladbrokes: 5 left and these 2 hands materialise.

Somehow still in, doubled up the next hand after both of those with AJ each time.
Edit - I've qualified for the next stage.
This was a $5 buy-in, next stage is $55 straight buy-in but that's my prize
