Yes, the free 10$ they give you made me sign up right away, after 2 hours of playing there my bank roll was at 30$. So, i decide to play it in strides... 10$ at a time, and hopefully it wont be long til i get in the hundreds.Well, I got handed King, King with just over 11$ of my original 10 at the table ( with 20 still in the bank)... Some Idiot raises, and everyone else folds. I figure my opponent has an Ace, but i highly doubted he had 2 of them... So i re-raise him all in. He calls, (He had me coverd with about 15$)... Now, he didnt have 2 aces, he didnt even have 1... What a joke... He turns over 5/10 OFFSUIT!?!? Now, i had 2 black kings, and his 5 was a :) ... 3 Hearts hit the flop, a Blank on the turn... And of course, A heart on the River.So, a bit angerd by this... i felt that it didnt really put me on any tilt... So I take 10 more to another table... On the VERY FIRST hand i get handed 8 A Suited, There was a small re-reaise preflop, and i called it. The Flop came 3 8 8 Rainbow. So, unless someone has 3,3. or 3,8. I have the best hand here. I decide to slowplay it, as its a table of 3 other players. An idiot raises a dollar, all other players fold, I push, He calls. He turns over Queen 10, A laughable hand. 9 Hits the turn, Jack hits the river.So.. im down to my last 10, I bring it to a table, and a few hands in im at just over 9 dollars.I get handed Jack 10 suited :) with the small blind, 2 players call the BB early, and so do it. The BB checks. And the flop comes Ace Queen 5 All :club: I raise 2$, and get a caller. Turn comes a blank. I raise All in, about 7 more. And get called. My opponent turns over King :club: , 2 :D (Might have been a :D , I dont remember exactly). Now normally id feel confident in this situation as a 4-1 overdog. But with the run of bad luck i was almost 100% sure a club was gonna hit the river. And of course, it did.

Because people will call with junk like 5To. That was a very profitable play, good job. Bad beats happen to all, you couldn't expect to not bust playing that far out of your limited bankroll though.

Was this on pacific poker? Because you can lose a monstrous stack in those rooms because it seems they are designed to let the bad players win.
