ajzepp Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I was late to the game last week and really disappointed to see that only three people showed up. I thought there would be more consistent participation, but doesn't look like a weekly game is going to stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there would be more consistent participation, but doesn't look like a weekly game is going to stick 733257[/snapback] A couple of nights ago, I deposited 50US into party poker. I go into a .50/1.00 table no limit. First hand comes out. Ace King of Diamonds. I figured it was the strongest hands on the table (which is a fair assumption). I raise 5$ before the flop. Some dude brings me all in at 45$. I think it over and said, !@#$ it, i went in. The flop comes out and not in the history of hold em have i ever seen such a pathetic flop. 2-3-8-9-Q. The dude had a pair of kings in his pocket. I didn't connect with anything. 50$ gone. And i'm not playing online till summers over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I tried playing online once and hated every minute of it. For me, poker just isn't poker if you can't see the faces of the people your playing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When an unknown online player pushes 50x the blind on the first hand, you have to figure there's a 80% chance he's just being retarded with a wide range of hands other than AA/KK.

I'm way too tight of a player to do something like that,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an overrated hand though considering how many idiots there are at that level who love to play any Ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On any other occassion, I probably would have folded but I was impatient and did something I shouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting near finals next week, lots of people go on vacation, tis why there are no good TV shows during summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
