So today I played in the 500+30 Sunday Millions with some of my FPPs. I was running pretty well and only had my tourney life at stake twice with about 110 left. I win a big pot to put me to 250k and I'm in 38th place or something. My table is pretty soft too and I now had the second biggest stack at it. Then it happened...Comcast put the bad beat on.

Internet hasn't gone out in weeks, but now it's dead. I tried calling several people, but since I'm on the east coast they were all sleeping to get ready for work tomorrow. I call my dad, go pick up his laptop, drive to the nearest starbucks, but they are closed by now. I'm thinking it's hopeless, but I picked up a signal from a nearby Taco Bell and went and parked in front and connected.

By now 45 minutes have passed, I'm now blinded off over a quarter of my stack, and am in like 50th out of 67 or something. My M is about 6, so I wait a few hands and push 9To and get all folds, then next hand KK and get called by A4 (who had about the same stack size as me). 44x flop comes and it's like 61st or some shit for me. Not to say I would have won or anything, but ruined my day. Thanks Comcast. Done ranting now.

Talk about dedication! Unfortunate though. Your loss that is.

comcasts response would probably be
'you put all your money in with 9T you big fish GG no re'

if poker is dangerous to them i would rank sports betting as a Kodiak grizzly bear who smells blood after you just threw a javelin into his cub - RaiNKhAN
