I have been Jonesing to get back to Foxwoods for a few days, and finally woke up Sunday morning and just drove down by myself. I have had a very good run at Foxwoods since returning from Iraq, nearly every session has been in the positive, +500, +900, +1200, etc. Sure there were a few sessions that were break even or minor losses, but nothing that bothered me. Until yesterday...
I would like to say that I was cold-decked, but I did get a few premium hands, AAx2, QQx2 (all cracked). Unsuited 5 gappers were the norm and looked like gold. I had QQ cracked by 24o and 34o after making it $40 to go pre-flop. AA was cracked by TT on a flop of KJ8. I had re-raised two $17 pre-flop bets to $65 and one came along. I pushed on the flop, and the TT player was proud to get it in behind claiming he had a straight draw - runner, runner of course!
3 times I got it all in with at least a 4-1 advantage, and every time I was runner runnered for miracle suck outs. Enough of the bad beat stories, nobody wants to read about someone else's misery.
Live poker is rigged.

Bovine Scatology
This is the kind of shit that Full Tilt has been killing me with:
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (9 handed)
UTG ($224.70)
UTG+1 ($220.75)
MP1 ($76.10)
MP2 ($201.75)
MP3 ($97.20)
CO ($230.55)
Button ($127.25)
Hero ($200.40)
BB ($49.40)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Qh, Kd.
7 folds, Hero raises to $6, BB calls $4.
Flop: ($13) Ts, 9c, 2s (2 players)
Hero bets $12, BB calls $12.
Turn: ($37) Jc (2 players)
Hero bets $18, BB calls $18.
River: ($73) Ac (2 players)
Hero bets $14, BB calls $13.40 (All-In).
Final Pot: $99.81
Results below:
Hero has Qh Kd (straight, ace high).
BB has 6c 5c (flush, ace high).
Outcome: BB wins $99.80. Hero wins $0.59.
Granted, I did not have a huge hand pre flop, but whatever possessed this guy to call the flop and turn bets with a bad draw? He hand to go runner runner in order to beat my turned straight and rivered broadway. I supposed I could have put him all-in on the turn, but my gut tells me he would have called.

An open letter to Full Tilt support
Dear Full Tilt,
Please flip my boom switch back to the winning position. I need to catch more sets that turn into boats vs runner runner straights and flushes.
Thank You,
Rake Feeder
p.s. While you are at it, please stop counterfeiting my top 2 pair vs an over pair.
