Never Seen Anything Like This!

First up, InterPoker account opened and 50$ deposited ready for the 'Race to a 1000$ Challenge' with Acornman, Juice and Rosie. I love a challenge and am up for this!

Was in a great mood as my Ladbrokes account has increased by another 50$ and the Poker Room account by another 70$ from play ealrier in the day - so I was feeling pretty good.

Loaded up Inter and sat down at a 25/50c NL table and waited for my first hand. 89s, no raise so I check. Flop 8 9 A. Nice start and I put 2$ in the pot, one caller. Turn is 10. another 2$ and a call. River is a 10. I check and opponent bets 5$. I fold as A anything beats me now, and he shows me Q 10. 'Why call the flop?' I asked. 'Dunno. Just felt like it' he replied.
Second hand is 78s and I call with no raise. Flop is 7 8 K. Bet 2$ one caller. Turn 2, bet and call and river A. I check the river, opponent bets 50c which I call and he turns over A7. Nearly 15$ down after 2 hands, and my target of 100$ for the night not looking remotely likely. Little did I realise that 6 hands later I would be down to 7$ after a run of horrific beats.

Fortunatley had 3 big hands with 2/3 callers which have funded the incredible run I was in the middle of. After flopping a str8 and losing on the river to a higher one, I looked down at 18$ and decided to quit. A look at my hand history shows:

7 str8s losing to flushes
3 str8s losing to higher str8s
2 flushes losing to FH's
14 two-pair losing to various
I stopped counting top pair losing, as I can;t count this as 'unlucky' so much
This is in 287 hands played.

If it wasn't for three hands that had 2/3 callers (AA and KK that both stood up, plus a winning flush), I'd be out already. Don't think I've ever hit that many hands in a night, let alone lose with them! A freak night for sure (though if this happened in a live game, you'd never go back to that casino again) but I'm not left with much room for error now. Inter not my favourite poker site by a long way :-(
Being positive though - it is amazing I haven't gone bust already, so I'm gonna keep smiling with that thought in mind.

Went back to Laddies for half an hour - and this is now my 2nd favourite pokerplace after Poker Room - Official. My $50 or so I forgot I had there until Friday is now over 250$, so pretty happy with this. Closed my Pacific account and cashed out $175 as I just didn't like the slow-ness
nor the fact that it wouldn't let me multi-table without folding hands and cutting me off. Never had this at any other site, so not sure what the problem is, but I don't have the patience for it!

So 4 sites now with Inter, (slight improvement at Titan after an hour's play earlier) though I can't see me staying there too long if the above run continues. Anyone else seen a run like this before in a relatively short hand count? Interested to hear.....

Enjoying the World Cup, been some cracking games and really interesting ones. Really looking forward to the Brazil game which was very dissapointing, along with the France game before it. I suppose you can't expect every game to be a cracker. My pre-tournament tip Argentina are looking good so far, but I'm not talking about England until after the next game - it's too depressing :-)

Good luck at the tables. I'll be back.
