last night I'm in the mood for some big multi-table no limit texas hold em action. so i fire up my favorite poker room pokerstars. perfect, theres a $10 multi-table game starting in about 20 minutes, so i regiester and play a ring game to pass time. The tournament starts and action is slow in the beginning, but i double up a couple times and i make it into the top 300 (over 1500 people started and i've been playing for over 2 hours). for a while i'm the big chip leader at my table, but that eventaully gets knocked down, and i'm closer to small stack. this is when things start to go the wrong way now. he phone is ringing right as i get dealt big slick. i make i decent raise and get re-raised, i call. Its my dad on the phone, talking about coming to stay at our house later this week. The flop comes 8 8 4. he bets, i raise big, he re-raises, i'm talking to LazyLarry and thinking about this stupid hand. ok, i eventually go all in, and he calls. now my measley AK is up against this guy with an 87. after the turn i'm dead, its a 6, and the river is a 5, so he even made a strait. great.
several hours later i'm playing a multi-table at pacific poker. i'm not doing very well and not too far into this one when the following all goes down. I get dealt big slick at the same time LazyLarry pops up on google talk to ask me how i'm doing. so i come over the top of the first raiser and go all in with my big slick. this guy calls me and i got him beat, but of course he improves his hand and i don't.
i told LazyLarry to never bother me when i'm playing again. I didn't care so much about the 2nd one, but that first one was frustrating.
