Uproar at Full Tilt Software Update

Wow went to log onto Full Tilt last night and what a mess!!! They have undertaken a big software update which has caused severe problems –

• Changed graphics on the cards so it is very hard to tell suits when multitabling
• Cards are actually blurry
• Severe lagging, one minute it’s the cards are frozen mid shuffle and next its your turn to act
• The tables don’t pop-up when its your turn
• Poker tracker / Hold’em Manager don’t work
• Sites like Pokertablings ratings are non compatible as they conflict with the sites issue against datamining
• Peoples customised Mods and shortcuts no longer work

I logged onto the 2 & 2 Poker forum and there were turns off posts discussing this and lots of unhappy customers…. be very interested to see what they fix in the next few days.

Bad Night, Moving Down and a Withdrawal

Sigh.... another losing night... was actually quite a fun session 3 tabling 50NL 6 max... was down $130 then up $30 then i think down about $70... not great swings really and not a great loss but the trouble is that i was playing scared. playing scared cos i didnt want to lose $100. Not the way to make money at poker.

Countless times i say im only gonna play $25nl or im not gonna play Omaha or heads up but i still do it...so today i've withdrawn my original stake and i now only have $540 in my account... again the plan will be $25nl and tourneys probably not over $10...i've got potentially 3 nights of decent play over the weekend so hopefully i can take down a tourney or two and start climbing again.

anyways....am know going to post my favourite hand from the evening's session at the end of each post.. im at work at the mo so cant use the replayer but you get the drift from this -

Bad session

bloody fucking awful session, played some NL50 and got upto near $900... was getting a bit bored so i switched to Omaha, nothing heavy just 3 tables of 10c/25c wanted to grind out the next stage of my bonus

lost $120 or nearly 5 buy-ins, and im fucking sober. FML.

one step forwards 5 steps back at the moment, just cant get the roll over the $1000 mark..

Drunk but no poker

no poker since last post on Saturday monring, this is actually the first time ive used a computer since then and im only on one cos im back at work!

Went out Saturday night and got absolutely smashed, it took me 30 minutes to do a ten minute walk at about 2am and i was praying to god i wouldnt bump into any of the local village idiots as i had about £80 in my pocket and i could barely walk - i even fell into a bush!!

suffice to say i spent all day in bed sunday throwing up intermittently and begging my daughter not to bounce on me, scream at her sisters or hit me with various toys.

when i did get up about 6 i had dinner and watched the end of prison break.... what the fuck was that ending about... 4 seasons and not even happy ending?! if i had a vagina i would of cried.

Failed Challenge

my 25NL challenge only lasted 400 hands .... and I lost $10.... just got so bored I couldnt be bothered, so many nits or shortstackers... so since then i've played a few tourneys instead including a would-be style 5 hours slog to come 17/336 in the $2 rebuy for about $11 when i lose a 150k chip pot when my flopped to pair gets beaten by an overpair hitting its to outer. nearest other chip stack was 80k. still im back in profit of sharkscope....

More frustratingly I have lost two $100 pots with AA against Q8 when we get it all in on a 832 flop and the pocket Jacks to 62 suited on a 8410 flop with two of his suit.

who the fuck gets it all in with a flush draw or top pair queen kicker when there has been raised pots pre-flop?!

fucking madness and it is costing me money as minimum heads-up tables are $50 buy in.

away from poker im having a rare night out for my teams presentation night and then either into Brighton or to a mates BBQ if it goes on late, im really up for it i probably only get to go out once every 2-3 months!!

anyways hope you run better than me
