ROAR! I immediately got off all tables, b/c I was ready to tilt off some buyins. But seriously, should I have c/c the river...? It seemed impossible that I was beat here...I thought he caught the bottom end.

I ran into almost the EXACT same hand last night at Full Tilt. Only difference I had an open ended straight + flush draw and raised him on the flop. He called. Hand plays exactly the same after that. It was like "did you KNOW what was coming on the turn and river???" Unbelievable!!!

[CanSpoilU]

It's hands like this which is the reason why AKo is my biggest losing hands.

I always wondered about when its a "good time" to double barrel. What is this guy calling my huge cbet with here? Certainly not what I thought he would have. Thoughts on how this was played?

Could somebody recommend a good poker room with good rakeback bonus that i can play at. I have been playing full-tilt but have cleared their 800 dollar bonus and do not get rakeback and so am deciding to leave.

I know stars is popular but my view is that the standard of play is quite good there. I am european and so am not limited to Stars or Full-tilt, and would rather avoid good players as much as possible.

So, where is good, where has nice rakeback, fishies, and nice bonus. any advice would be great! Any recommendations given my current style is positionally SLAG style.

I would just try party ultimate bet sux butt, I'm not sure of absolute seems u have to play at a certain time to get in the good games.

[CanSpoilU]

Absolute does not run many fullring games around this time. Maybe 2-3 each of NL25/50/100.

Yeah that's tough, but I float A LOT when I'm MP1 and there's a cbet after an OOP raise and no A or K flops. When that turn hit, he really can't bet in fear your cbet now turned into a pair or more. But, as MP1, I usually fire a poop bet after villian checks the river and sometimes get called by AK or underboard pair.

There's a reg on Full Tilt who has almost identical stats - NMB 07. I have him at 32/5.2 with aggression a little higher than your villian (and his river AF is 5+!) over 25,000+ hands. We trade huge pots because I never know what the [censored] he is limp calling/limp betting with.

I personally fire 3/4 pot on turn and pray for non-spade, non-heart 10 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Hmmm...maybe there's a reason I'm down for May

[LifeTilt]

OMG, if you play on FullTilt, please go on now and watch Bluffed1331. I thought *I* was taking some beats...wow! This guy has stacked off 12 BIs in the last 1,200 hands. Here's the funny part (these are all with 100BB stacks OR MORE!):
He pushes AIPF with AA and gets called by KK. KK wins.
He pushes AIPF with KK and gets called by AA. AA wins.
He pushes AIPF with AA and gets called by JJ. JJ wins.
He gets all in POST flop with KK twice and AA once vs. 3 sets!

HAHAHA, this makes me feel 100% better. This guy is getting pwned namely by Beerpants and sl999333 over and over and over. He is getting so unlucky and is picking the worst spots. Doom switch, activated.
