Joker Stars

This must have gone through my head so many times today. In my various sessions at this wonderful poker site today, I was dealt KK 8 times - 8 times! On the first 7, an A flopped and my single opponent had one every time. Then, the 8th time - I flopped another K - nice! Not. Runner runner flush stole it from me.
So I was pretty gutted - as well as minus 100$ from my BR.
Moved to a 1$ NL table - which was probably not the best thing to do in my frame of mind, and 2nd or 3rd hand in, won 65$ when my AA ran into KK (on, the irony) and he couldn't fold.

Seems Burnley Mik's curse has headed my way -just fired up a table to get into the groove, and hit trips to lose to higher kicker, then another set losing to a rivered str8. So mixed feelings as I head towards the Blogger Tourny - and I hope Joker Stars treats me better or I've a feeling the monkey could be on these pages next week......

Also, has anyone ever seen this before? At a cash table, a player uses his 'time bank' if he does not act in time. One player wasn't acting and had a time bank of 320 seconds. So me and the rest of the table had to wait 5 minutes for his time bank to work it's way to zero before the game. I had already raised with pocket 10's so had to wait, otherwise I'd have left the table. Seems ridiculous to me.

Anyway, hope we have a good turnout for the tourny tonight - 10 already with a few familiar faces missing.

Good luck to one and all (especially me!).
