Still struggling on Betfair!

I've only really played poker on-line this week on Tuesday and Saturday.
On Tuesday played a couple of MTTs on Betfair, hopeless, so logged onto Sporting Odds and thought I would have a go at their $5 Champions League MTT. Well basically it is a flashmob game, 2 and a half hours to finish 6th out of 39 and a profit of $2.10!

It was like the flashmob game because everyone was more interested in getting points so ridiculously tight tables but good poker andf enjoyed it. Should have finished 10th really but got some stunning luck with 26os against AK to pick up a few more places and end up with 52 points. I see there is a freeroll this evening so may as well give that a go and see what happens.

Betfair is much more of a grind, tried cash when I got in last night and dropped about £20 so played some thunderpaks but my game is not designed for them and finished 4th, 2nd and 5th (Flopped trips, opponent flopped full house). So moved to the Omaha table where I flopped KKK33 full house and lost to quad 3's and then later flopped another full house and lost to a 2 outer on the river!

And what is it about on Betfair when you get KK, raise, get callers and an Ace flops. I raised hard in a STT and was called by the monsters A6os and A2s, and they hit their 2 outer on the flop, happened again as well later.

REPEAT: IT IS NOT FIXED, IT IS NOT JUICED, IT IS NOT RIGGED!!!!!!!!

Finally finished 2nd in a £10 STT despite this dubious play below but I was feeling so negative at that point that I just knew he had AA, KK, QQ or a set!

dude, you had better have had a good bunch of notes on this guy telling you he was a rock. Otherwise that is a losing play.
