Good beats, Bad Beats, Seconditis

Still on the STTs for the moment until my Neteller account is funded and I can have a go at the cash on Sun Poker. Withdrew everything from Betfair apart from £55 and have been playing a load of £5 STTs (Holdem & Omaha). Record is .......

1st - 2
2nd - 5
3rd - 3
4th - 4
Other - 7

I think bubbles are important to record but to many 2nds for my liking. So it's a profit of £39.50 and my luck has been running OK.

Posted loads of bad beats so here's one where I got lucky .....

Utter fishiness from me but the 2 I took on had been utterly useless prior to this so the move made sense and what a river.

And how dare I have a post without a vicious bad beat. I saw the 8 before it arrived.

He thought about it for ages before calling my all-in on the river and if I had AK etc he is getting excellent pot odds. I don't think he did much wrong and I win this hand with a bigger pre-flop raise but I want to get paid for my good hands and am always prepared to take this risk on the bubble.
