Cake Network BS

I haven't posted forever...but recently started playing on the Cake network. Talk about BS hands on there compared to sites like PokerStars. I've never seen so many huge hands and setups in my life, not just to me but other players as well. Here's just a typical hand I had QQ. This type of BS has cost me about 10 huge pots and a significant part of my bankroll. It's usually runner runner crap too to beat me.

New show @ the Venetian - The Real Deal

Looks very interesting for those who are heading to Vegas.

Playing like a Donkey!

I'm running so bad lately. I tried moving up to NL600 and took a couple of bad beats.
The worst beat was when my set of kings (allin post flop) got beat by 10 10 with a runner runner flush. $1046 pot ):

Then it's just tilt and chasing losses = playing like a DONKEY!

Time to take an extended break I think.

On a side note I was able to play in the last Paradise Midsummer Madness tourney; top 10 get a shirt. I finished in the top 10. I'd much rather have the bankroll I lost back though.

June Review

June was another relatively slow month for me. I didn’t start any new Promotions or clear any reload bonuses, other than the William Hill 5 hr bonus. Most of my play was on PokerStars; playing mainly $200NL as well as some FPP SNG’s. I also got very lucky in a PSO WSOP freeroll, where I chopped for 1K, finishing 2nd.

Recap
William Hill +32
Hollywood -200
PokerStars +865
PSO Freeroll +1000

Total +1697

I expect July to be another slow month; probably playing the same 3 sites a bit. I will also be cheering on Actyper at the WSOP ME. (from internet updates)

Paradise FPP Story

I'm not the type to complain to a poker site over trivial things. However, I did do it the past couple of months with Paradise.
In a nutshell they finally decided to open an online store to use our FPP's in ( I had about 11k). But in there wisdom they decided to start everyone at zero and held some FPP tournaments in April/May to use up our accumulated FPP's.
I complained to them in April as all weekday tournaments were held during the day when most of us (North America) are working. At that time they responded that they would be added some 9:30 ET tournaments. I checked regularly and couldn't see these added tournaments. So I fired off another e-mail with my disappointment. I did hear back from them and they said the tournaments were held (?), but as compensation they gave me 100 euro's. I'll take it!

May Review

May was a Very quiet month for me playing poker. I started off the month with a losing week, then took a couple of weeks off, and then recouped my losses the last week of the month.
Here’s the recap:
William Hill -$143
PokerStars +$213
Hollywood Poker even
Intercasino -$25

Total $+45

I also accumulated $66 T$ from PokerStars the last few days using some FPP’s.

I expect June to be very quiet as well; just too many other things going on to find time to play much poker.

PokerStars FPP’s

I've been playing mainly on PokerStars this past week. I’ve accumulated about 7500 FPP’s over the past few months and have been thinking about what to use them for. I’m not sure what the best value is for using them. (any thoughts?)
I don’t want any Stars clothing, so I’ve decided to play in some FPP tournaments. I’ve been playing in the 210 FPP 20 entry SNG….top 6 win $11 entry into the Sunday 100K. It’s not very hard to to finish in the top 6 in these, as opposed to the 70 FPP SNG where the winner gets the same $11 entry. I’ve been un-registering from the tournament and accumulating T$’s.
