Check N' Raise Poker freeroll win (and another hand)

RobertSearcy · 08-24-2005, 08:24 PM

Back on August 12th, I was at Check N' Raise Poker (www.checknraisepoker.com).Â* I decided to register for an Omaha H/L Pot Limit freeroll with a $100 prize pool ($27 for 1st place, 27 places paid).

I was doing good for a while, then I hit a bad streak.Â* I was down to 350 in chips, blinds were 150/300, and I was the big blind.Â* I was down to 50, I was dealt my cards, and I had some ok cards.Â* I put in my last 50 in chips and hoped for the best.Â* Well......this log of this particular poker hand tells ya what happened.Â* (Note:Â* To spare this place of a super-long post, I've cut out some of the stuff [including a few blank lines])

lol Yeah. Got a few bad beats (posted in a reply about one real money bad beat inside a bad beat freeroll thread).....however, it wasn't crazy nuts calling with nothing against my rockets and busting them......it was people getting higher full boats than mine.

Got that $27 bankroll up to almost $60 at one time........and then I crashed like the moutain climber on the pricing game "Cliffhangers" on The Price Is Right. :-P
