$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1000 Players)

Fricking sweet.
 
66 shoves for 2k in 2nd pos. with blinds at 75-150, KQ calls(had around 5k) from 3rd pos. and I had to call with my KK with slightly less than 2k on the button.
 
Flop comes A54, turn 10...you know the river.  Unreal.  He played KQ like that.

I hate pokerstars.
 
No, I don't believe it's rigged or anything dumb like that.
 
I hate the bad players.
 
I was sitting, waiting, not playing hands.  Trying to break my recent string of poor play with sub-par hands.  Finally pick up AA with 1k left.  I'd been sitting at this table for about 30 hands, and hadn't played other than from the bb.
 
blinds are 50-100, I figure if I shove everyone folds, so I raise to 250, next player raises to 400, bb calls, I shove, both call.  Flop is 7D 5C 9D.  I have AD, so I'm thinking not too scary.  They both have chips left, first leads out 900, bb comes back for the rest of his chips, and the mid pos calls.  Go ahead and try and put them on something here, because what they had will shock you (especially bb).
 
 
...
 
mid pos has 1010, first one I looked at so I'm thinkin, ok, not the worst play ever, pretty bad, but still.
 
bb flips over 5D6D! Turn is 6C (of course), river D of some sort to make his flush.  56 Suited.  I'm at a loss.  How can you play against dumbasses like this who keep winning.  GRRRRRR.

QQ vs JJ vs 910.  J on the flop...couldn't even pick up the leftovers because 910 turned a straight.  Good times.

$0.50 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament

Wow, donkalicious.
 
First pot I played was QQ, maybe 5th hand into the tourney.  I raise to 80 (4x) from MP get 3 callers.  Flop comes J57.  I bet out 100, two callers.  Turn is 9.  I bet out 240.  Both call.  River is A, I check, Bet 300+, call, I fold.  Turns over 86.  Other donk shows A6.  WTF!?!? I'm at a loss for words at this point.
 
Also at this table...a player who didn't make any bets besides shoving all in.  Shoved every pot he played pre-flop.
 
Great Tourney...not.

2 outer on the river.  AK vs AQ, me with A of clubs, flop comes three clubs Q H on the river.  Would have climbed back into average chip stack.  Fun times.

Playing Friday Night...finally

I haven't played in...forever online.  I've played a few times live in the past few weeks, but haven't had the time to grind out a tourney online.  School has been quite hectic recently, but this weekend I'm going to be home so my slacker time I can hopefully devote to poker...We'll see how it goes.
