$5 extended STT blonde

[Ginger]

OK, I will break my rule of no tribecca stt's, just for you guys 

Is there a particular reason for this rule? 

Other than a 'fair few' of the players think that A6o, 68o 23 sooooooted are good hands to call an all in with.... NO! lol

[Newmanseye]

Unlucky Jane atleast you did not bust in a 6 high flush!!

LOL, that hand really did make me laugh out loud!

[Newmanseye]

But what was he thinking

" i'm ok I have a flush, oh shit his is bigger!"

What a mug he was

[suzanne]

My attempt at a non blonde game...go win it...didnt quite happen :-(

Im trying hard to stay away from cash coz im on a losing streak so dead money if anyone is around?

Should that not be valooooo ?? lol

I do agree though that it drives me up the wall (short term) when I get a big all-in called by rubbish and end up losing to it.

Not good for the blood pressure, but surely better for the bank balance?

Long run yes it's good, I guess I'm just fed up with it at the moment as I'm having my worst streak in nearly 4 years, and I seem to have the 'call me with rubbish and win' tattoo firmly across me forhead for the last few months now lol

lol... okay, maybe I shouldn't post this (I know how bad beat stories are anathema to the blondeite spirit), but I thought this might cheer you up

I was on a couldn't win for toffee streak over the last couple of weeks. Overpairs killed by flushdraws, runner-runners, every kind of outdraw. Getting a bit frustrating, so I took a few days off: I wasn't feeling particularly well anyway, I visited my folks for my sister's birthday, cleared my mind of poker and then got back on Sunday.

This is the first hand I played from the first game I played (a $10 STT extended STT) upon my return: Note the stack sizes and hand number...

Thanks Zim, that has cheered me up no end! So I'm not the only one after all , it gets a little tiresome when you see that you are ahead, but know that the outdraw is coming lol

[I, Zimbra]

I know, I was even sitting there saying to myself "Okay then, where's the seven coming? I know it's... there it is!"

Congratulations! You have finished 9th.

(sigh...)
