Doggy Suicide Attempt

Played in the 5$ rebuy again at CD last night, after promising myself an early night. Played twice in this $3,500 guaranteed tourny, finishing 2nd and 60th, and it's fair to say the standard is pretty poor. Ace with any kicker is an all in hand, or call an all in hand, which is much worse. So many players outkicked and leave the tourny, quite happy to put their tourny lives at stake with the most bizzare of hands. I mention in my last blog going out when someone called my KK all in with 56os, which is just amazing, even by fish standards.
Anyway, I digress, managed to get to 13th place to win 40$, but had a little story on the way. Well, I thought so anyway.

Getting close to the bubble, I have about 6500 chips and the 2k big blind is my next hand. I'm dealt 6 2 os and cannot call the all in before me and fold. Then I get moved table to the hand right before the blinds. As these two hands pass and take another 3k, I am moved yet again, to the hand immediately before the small blind. All hands cannot be defended and my last hand see's me put my last 450 chips in on Q4os.
I've already clicked on the 'live support button' to make a complaint, as I've never seen this happen before and thiought it was really unfair. Being moved 3 times in 6 hands, and always the hand right before the blinds? Anway, the flop is QQx and I quadruple up as 3 other players are in the hand. The next hand is A8 and my all in gets a called by 77 and I hit an 8 to double up. Next hand I get AK and my all in is called by A10 and neither of us improve and I take the pot. Then, as if this wasn't enough, my KK stands up against against QQ and i am sat with 45k in chips!
I quickly cut off my 'live support chat' and carried on with the game, eventually going out in 13th when my str8 hits a full house.

Played 37 hands at Inter to see if my hex has been lifted. Another 40$ gone from my account and I'm beginning to wonder what has going on at Inter for me. Of these 37 hands, there was KK, QQ twice, JJ, AK twice, AQ and a few other hands that were playable in position and not one stood up. If I can't win with any of these hands (and I don't expect to win with all of them btw), just what can I win with? Gonna let this hang for a while and ponder some more, but feel like a switch has been flicked from the 'win' position, to the 'lose' position, ridiculous as it sounds :-(

Anyway, on totally unrelated matters, I saw 2 funny things today.

One can been watched by clicking HERE.

And to save you clicking anywhere, I have copied the following from BBC news website:

Blind victim of hit-and-run buggy
A blind woman has been left housebound after a hit-and-run incident involving two electric mobility buggies. The 50-year-old was walking with a white stick, in New Milton, Hants, when her stick was hit by one of the buggies as the second sped past her.
Neither driver stopped to aid the woman who was struck outside the Rydal pub. The woman suffered a broken wrist which will confine her to her home for two weeks and her guide dog has gone into temporary care until she recovers.
A police spokesperson said: "The woman heard the sound of what she recognised as two electric mobility buggies heading towards her from the market area.
"The second collided with her stick. The stick went rigid and then sprung back, hitting her hard on the left wrist causing it to break."

Is this the first case of Road Rage in a pensioner? They use the word 'sped' past the lady, so not sure what the old age equivalent of 'boy racers' is? And can you speed in a mobility buggy? So many questions, so little time.

Toodle Pip, or should that be Ciao?
