Arcade ROM Heaven

Played Queensland Poker Events free poker grand final last weekend, came 29th from 400, got $50 in my kit for that, that's the only bright spot I have only placed in 1 sit n go of the 20 I have played at Full Tilt Poker, I can't believe how unlucky I am at this site, take this for example. I am playing a $5 sit n go with 9 people, pays top 3, we get down to 4 people and everyone is folding to the blinds, no-one is making a move, I have the second smallest stack, about $1900. I get dealt QQ and push all-in, blinds are 300/600, correct play, next guy calls and guy after calls, they turn over KK and AA, I had no chance.

They also run a tournament style called "knockout", every time you knockout a player you get 1/6 of your buy-in back. I have placed in everyone of these I have played, but I am still

In all the time I have been playing online poker I have deposited $150 over 3 years, this has kept me playing almost daily, I play $2,$3,$5,$10 & $20 sit & go's. I have never had more than $300 in my account though. I just joined up at Full Tilt to gain some more poker software, Poker Office, I managed to qualify for 100 FTP quite easily playing pot limit tables. I still had $60 of my $80 deposit left. I decided to play the standard $5 9 player SNG. I have now lost the last 8 games on the bubble, I have been outdrawn with pocket AA twice, pocket KK three times and pocket QQ twice. The three best starting hands in poker have killed me 8 times in a row on the bubble, always called by weak starting hands and getting beaten, change of luck required very soon or back to depositing I go

After watching the doco below I went searching the Twin Galaxies high scores. The one for Dragon's Lair is crap, I got 1.6 million one Saturday morning at Mt Warren Bowl, piece of cake. Also the Bubble Bobble one is quite ordinary too, if only I had some time up my sleeve and a partner to play it with, could kick the single and 2 player scores with ease.

After just watching this excellent doco I have come to the conclusion that Billy Mitchell is one of the biggest wankers ever portrayed on screen, who has a mullet in this day and age anyway Love to meet him in a dark alley one day.

Can't find it anywhere else online but the worlds tallest residential building located on Queensland's Gold Coast will soon have a roller coaster on top of it, same style as the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.

When we were in Vegas last time we went to the Stratosphere at 11:30 at night only to be told there was an 1hr wait to get to the top, needless to say we didn't stand in a line for an hour.

Gotta love it when you hit a hnad like this All-in on the turn made it even sweeter.

Didn't know what this was about until the end, laughed so much I cried.
