some good some bad

Up until the last 2 days it has been pretty rough in the online poker world for me. About 2 weeks ago I took 5 really bad beats 5 different games in a row that emptied my pokerstars account completely. In all 5 games I was all in with a Pocket Pair and up against a lower pocket pair, and in all 5 the other guy hit a set on the flop and I was gone. The last time was the icing on the cake though cause after I lost I threw my laptop and it crashed my hard drive. That cost about 300 to get fixed and fucked my money up until payday. So the other day I decided to download all the other poker sited that I know of to see if I finally wanted to try outa site other than pokerstars. I think I have SNG site, but stars is still tops for MTT's. Anyway, 1 of the sites that I tried out was Ultimate Bet. I guess they have this promo goin on once a month that you can play a freeroll to a monthly Million dollar tourney. You only get one shot at this per month too I guess. Well that was the 1st tourney that I played on there and I ended up placing, so I get to play in the next round which is next Saturday. Today I played in a couple 180 man SNG's on stars. I came in 12th in the 1st 1 for a cash and then got busted by some moron in the 2nd 1 that called my AK all in with K8. He hit trips on the flop and i was gone. This guy got a few comments sent his way courtesy of me because earlier in the game he was talkin about all the donkeys that were in this tourney and all they do is shove everything in there and pray. He actually had the nerve to explain his call with the phrase " they were soooted" that is like the biggest donkey comment that you can make. The thing that made it worse what the fact that i had him covered by 50 chips. I can see someone ( never would i do it ) making that call if they had someone dominated. Oh well. After that i played a 5 SNG and took 1st in that. I was about done for the day, but then i saw that someone had put together an unofficial PXF tourney. PXF is www.pokerxfactor.com it is a training site that i am a member at and it is %100 guaranteed to improve your game. I almost didn't register cause i didn't want to blow $11 on a long shot. ( there were only 19 players, but PXF tournies are hard to crack cause everyone is better than average because of the site and you really have to pick up cards to be able to win ) finally i just said screw it and played. It looked pretty bad early on as i could not hit a flop, but i went on a little rush and ended up coming in 3rd. Should have been higher but i made a bad read on a guy when he shoved on me after i raised, it looked like a text book re-steal to me beacuse i had raised his blinds alot when we were 3 way and he was getting short stacked. I had KJs and he had AJ. I missed and was out about 3 hands later. This cash was good for $30, so i ended the day up 40 and can now pay fuzz back for a backing deal that we made last week. That is it for now, more to come when i feel like it.
