Queen of Diamonds justifies lucky river

This is so funny. Some girl, “Queen of Diamonds“, that thinks she’s a poker genius starts a poker blog, SUCKS OUT ON ME IN A LOW STAKES GAME, and then writes about her goofy gambling on her blog, justifying her ridiculous turn-shove…

Here’s the screenshots:

Here’s her side of the story. What a donk.

Cold Streaks Suck

I’m running cold. In the last 3 days I’ve had a guy pull a ONE-OUTER on me to make a STRAIGHT FLUSH against my nut flush. I’ve lost flush over flush big pots twice with a jack high flush and a queen high flush, twice with only 3 flushcards on the board. Lost set over set twice, once with middle set against top set.

Anyway, add not making any flushes except for when someone else has me beat and I’m good.

Oh… One more: pocket jacks. Flop TJK rainbow. I bet right out afraid of all sorts of straight draws and hoping for someone to have flopped two pair. I get called. Turn it a blank and I bet out the pot. Get re-raised all-in and call. Had KT. K rolls off on the river.

Good stuff, innit?

Why not to go all-in on the flop…

… without a really strong hand …

You might get called with nine high, obviously making two pair…

Final table of a $100 SnG. Bleh. Luckily I had him covered, but as you can see not by much.

Online MTT Poker Frustrations

I played 3 Multi-table-tournaments yesterday, simultaneously. I’ve been playing at Full Tilt Poker for a couple weeks now, mostly in the hopes of being able to do some games against the likes of Phil Ivey or Mike The Mouth Matusow — but enjoying the level of play there in general too…

Until yesterday. I don’t mind a bad beat. Honestly, I don’t. I realize how good it feels to be on the other end, so I embrace the fact that every once in a while, you’re the one giving the joy. BUT NOT 3 IN TWO MINUTES IN 3 FREAKING TOURNAMENTS ALRIGHT!

T1: 10$ 180players S&G NLH. Pick up AQs, raise 3BB get called by two people. Flop comes two spades, all unders. I bet 2/3 pot, one fold, one call. Turn makes my nut flush. I bet 1/2 pot, BB shoves, i call — he has made his second pair on the turn. River makes his boat. GRRR.

T2: 24$ Pot Limit Omaha. I’m in second chip position when I pick up AAKJ, two diamonds (AJ). The flop comes Ace and two diamonds. I mean that’s the ultimate flop right there. Turn Q, river Q, woozaaa aces over queens. Opponent takes two queens out of the hole. ASSWHIPE was the only one in 65 people left who had me covered. GO FIGURE.

T3: 10$ KO NLH — 600 players. I pick up KK in the VERY FIRST HAND. I raise, I get re-raised, I re-reraise — he shoves — I call. He shows AA. I don’t suck out.

I mean
