Hellish Hand History
(^^Triple H Score^^) It sure does suck to be a chip leader for hours in a poker tournament and then have constant internet connectivity problems in a game that doesn't protect your hand while disconnected. Everytime the damn servers would respond I was down another few thousand chips. I find very little more frustrating. Suddenly I woke up with pocket fives and doubled up, which was nice. Then when I was reconnected the next time I was holding pocket kings. I prayed that the server would hold long enough to get all of my chips into the middle, which did happen, but the poker gods had other plans for me. I tried to post the hand history here (Yet another triple H score) but it was compacted and unreadable when pasted. All you really need to know is that instead of regaining my massive chip stack, my opponent holding AK, spiked his ace on the river (thanks Barry Greenstein). Sure I won $60 but it is still sickening to play so well for so long and have technical problems force your hand(s). Now it is 2 am and is much too late for me to enter more games so I guess I'll take the loss for the evening and try again tomorrow. Did I forget to mention my $300+ worth of buy-ins and my banking on a good finish in this particular game to cover? No? Degenerate gamblers never do.
