10's are wild!
Just finished playing in the 350 qualifier on Score (popular site tonight), and busted out 42nd. Weirdest thing though. In 10 hands late in tourney (less than 50 left), I had pocket 10's 3 times and A-10 twice, hitting trip-10's all 5 times (losing only once against quad 9's). I had finally built myself up from short stack to top 10, and got dealt K-10. Flop came 10-6-7, and ended up all-in against 2 players (a short stack and chip leader). Chip leader had pocket 9's and shorty had 8's. I'm leading, turn is another 10 for my sixth trip 10's in 11 hands. Unfortunately, river was 1 of the 2 remaining 8's, and I was out. What a strange run of cards.

Trevor, we should try and hook up in a tourny @ Score. I agree with what you said in my "1st Win" post about it being good practice for playing against some crazy aggressive players. But I've found that the deeper into the tournament you get, and play actually improves!!! I didn't think that was possible in an on line freeroll!! lol It's actually possible to bluff!!!lol
I think I might actually be warming up to on line play. I know, winning one helps.
Now only if I can convince Wraychel..........................

Ya, I've noticed this too, usually when the field has thinned to about a quarter - always seems to be about 5 min after a break
I'm not even considering asking Jenn. I don't trust my self-control enough once I make that first deposit, since I'm always on the computer. Plus, with my limited bank-roll, I'd rather "invest" it (meaning donate) in live tourneys. I seem to manage things better when I'm forced to "go somewhere" to lose money
Actually, that http://instantbankroll.com/ that somebody mentions works, and I got the $75. Unfortunately, I blew it all while learning. I was reading some poker books while playing, and didn't get to the chapter on "pay attention when not in hands" until I was on my last $10!Â
