Eurolinx run over

The bad beats at Eurolinx finally got the best of me. After starting with $250 on this site, I withdrew $1260 and $1000 in the first month. I got my balance up to over $2100, and I was anticipating withdrawing another $1000 when I hit $2500. But I never got there. In July, I played 8 times, and I only came out on the winning end once. My account is now down to zero.

As you read in my previous posts, the bad beats were terrible. So I've quit this site... maybe I'll come back to it later. After all, I did net over $2000 USD in 2.5 months. It just pisses me off that I got raped for another $2000 in a series of bad beats by people who can't play.

Last night I played a $55 tourney in Plantagenet. There were only 14 players. You start with 2000 in chips, and blinds at 5/10. So you can see a lot of flops early. After about an hour, I was back to my starting stack after going up and down. Blinds are 25/50, I pick up 10s6s in the big blind, there are two callers, I check. Flop is 10 6 Q rainbow. SB checks, I bet $150. Big stack raises to $650, SB folds (he showed KQ later), I go all-in for $1500 more. She insta-calls, she has QJ for top pair. Turn is a 9, giving her lots of outs (straight possibilities), and river is a J giving her a higher two pair. Another bad beat!

We played 1/2 NL later in the evening, maxing out at 8 players, but playing most of the night only 6. I bought in for $60, lost it. I bought in again for $100, got that up to $300. Then I'm dealt AA in the BB, everyone folds, SB completes. I raise $10. He calls. Flop Q 6 8. He checks, I bet $20. Turn 7. He checks, I check. River 3, he bets $50. I reluctantly call - he has Q7 for two pair. Another bad beat...

Fifteen minutes later, I'm dealt JJ on the button. UTG raises to $17, he has $50 behind, so I raise him all-in. He thinks about it, and calls with QQ. I don't suck out.

Last hand, I'm down to $160. I'm dealt 10 J offsuit on the button. There are only 4 players left at the table. Everyone calls the $2, I raise it $5 more. Everyone calls. Flop is J 9 7 with two diamonds. First one to talk goes all-in for $123. 2nd guy is thinking about calling... The player who is all-in tells us we can look at one card, he shows the 8 of diamonds. That confirms in my mind that he's on the flush draw. 2nd guy finally folds, and I call. He shows 6d8d for a gut-shot straight + flush draw. Two blanks came on the turn and river, and I pick it up. The 2nd player had Kd4d and folded his flush draw.

So I ended the night up $90. Not very much, but still better than losing.
