Wild Wacky Sunday & Two of the Worst Coolers I’ve Ever Had

Posted by icemonkey9 on Dec 29, 2008 in coolers, poker, winner | 0 comments

Today was Super Donkfest Sunday and featured two of the largest online poker tournaments ever (I did not participate), and the most traffic I have ever seen on Stars (at one point 250k). I also enjoyed a FullTilt Poker flashback when Stars crumbled underneath the weight of the traffic and the ring games got shut down basically (nobody could sit down at a table once someone left).

Once that all got taken care of and before and after the Chargers decimating the Broncos, I got in 2,132 hands and also had another coaching session. This time my coach brought along another one of his students, Jesse, who is a pretty smart guy and a good player. During the session, Jesse said the sentence I hate to hear the most (no offence against him, he dind't know):

"You run horrible" - direct quote (twice during session)

It's well documented that my coolers are definitely from the twilight zone but today definitely takes the cake for "top 5 all year WTF hands" ... and somehow I ended up in the positive. The good thing is that my coach was very impressed that I didn't tilt at all during the session. Yay for me.

You would like to see some of these hands? Okay. First I have a pretty section just for KK!

Standard KK Cooler Part 1

Standard KK Cooler Part 2 "Revenge of the Shortstacker"

Standard KK Cooler Part 3 "Cardrack 76/26/2 player hits"

That one really bit but she had been hitting EVERYTHING within the last 30 minutes there which is why I slowed down. Can't believe her PF play with AT off. Unreal.

KK ... OMG WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Again, I can't believe the preflop play of the villain here. The stats just don't matter but I take pride in getting it in way ahead here. Just a bad cooler.

So that is it in terms of just KK coolers, but I got a 1 more that you'll love...

Worst Cooler IMO of my entire career

Yep. I was being sweated during this hand too and all of us just said "NO F'ING WAY" all at the same time. I think we were even in harmony when we said it. Pretty unreal to have a boat and lose to the straight flush.

Anyways I imagine after all that negativity you'd like to see one or two hands where I win. Sure, no problem!

Huge Win for KK

Yes yes yes, turns out I can win ONE hand with KK afterall. Yay.

AA Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

I liked this one, I can watch it over and over again.

So after all those ups and downs I ended up a winner today. Kinda amazing! The good news personally is that I somehow managed to retain goldstar for the month. I really wanted to keep goldstar, the FPPs are definitely worth something (right!?) and who knows what promotions are in the works at Stars that I might benefit from.

Anyways, that's today and the crazy up and down day I had. Hooray!
