I did a long way back. I finally quit, the bad beats I got and saw other people get routinely on the river got too much. So many hands decided on the river and inexplicable beats

I used to play at FT all the time, until, UNTILL, on two separate occasions in the same day, I flopped quad tens (both times that i flopped quads i was at the final table), only to have my computer freeze on me for the duration of the hand. Keep in mind that my computer never EVER froze up. This drove me wild, and ultimately drove me away from internet poker.

Needless to say, I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.

Im about 3-4 miles too west to play on Borgata's site, the one I'd undoubtedly use if I lived within reach.

Parx and the Borgata live play are fine enough for me, but man I'm starting to miss those all nighters with my best friend Wardy who I'd rotate Sit n Go's with. Not to mention, my better half would sleep better at night if she were to wake up to me being face down in the laptop as opposed to playing 2-5 n/l for 20 hrs straight on some of my days off. Lol
