I know it isn't Full Tilt, it's random, but damn if it doesn't feel like someone is controlling the cards, seeing how badly they can put someone on tilt.
I'm playing in a 9 person NLHE SnG and it is 4-handed. I'm the short-stack and card dead, not a good combination. Here is the hand that I'm knocked out with:
Seat 2: Sayntin (2,445)
Seat 3: Iam4U (2,505)
Seat 7: wcarro4 (7,110)
Seat 9: JonShadow (1,440)
JonShadow posts the small blind of 120
Sayntin posts the big blind of 240
The button is in seat #7

JonShadow shows a pair of Kings
wcarro4 shows a straight, King high
wcarro4 wins the pot (3,120) with a straight, King high
This is a very painful way to lose a hand. It's like being given two bad beats in a row. One is usually bad enough but two, that's just cruel.
I take a tiny amount of comfort in the fact that it seems I lose most of my SnG's this way.
The other SnG I played in was once again a H.O.R.S.E 8 person match-up. I made a wheel that allowed me to scoop early on and take a chip lead. From there most of the hands just played themselves. I ended up winning the SnG when all was said and done, and I did get my fair share of luck so I guess it makes up for the NL SnG.
