When playing on Full Tilt and when you take a horrible beat, does anyone else wish to kill that person who told you Full Tilt's dealing system is a RNG. Because then the "well if I had waited another second to call maybe the beat wouldn't have happened" etc. goes off in your head. Maybe I'm the only one.

Made it to the final two tables in the local VFW tournament I play in every month ($45 buyin, roughly 230-250 participants every month) with a healthy chipstack and the mentality that if I played smartly I could easily make the final table where to real payouts happen (on this occasion, the bubble was set at 16th place paying out double the buyin). I was fold-fold-folding (mainly because I was getting crap cards making my gameplan that much easier to stick to) when I looked down at KQoff, middle position, in an unopened pot. I got the brilliant idea that I should use my 50k chipstack to steal the 15k worth of blinds in the pot (blinds were 5k/10k obv), so I raised to 25k effectively committing myself to any sillyness that could possibly follow. It almost worked. Fold, fold, foldfoldfold...raise all in from the BB. Obviously I used Phil Laak's Law of Pot Odds Are Always Right to assist me in making a call even when I knew I was completely crushed, and my opponent flipped over his pocket aces. I flopped a Q but bricked the turn and river and I was out in 17th place. Needless to say, a poor defenseless soda can managed to find itself sailing across the parking lot on my way to the truck. My irritation level had nothing to do with the money at stake (only about $80, even though I was out of work at the time and could have used the cash) and everything to do with the fact that I could have easily folded the hand preflop and waited out the short stacks (of which there were many) to guarantee myself a better payday at the final table. Oh, the aces guy? He won the tournament and the $1600 first prize. You're welcome dude, you're welcome.
