Has this ever happened to you?

You make it to heads up in a tournament as chip leader and then McAFee decides to run a full scan without being prompted.This freezes your poker site and makes you sit out.The other player of course raises every hand with a fury amassing a massive chip lead.You can only helplessly watch your chip stack diminsh.Luckily it was only for a few dollars.I was frantically clicking buttons wondering why everything had frozen cursing Sky broadband etc. and then saw the offending MCAfeeflasing light.
Oh well you live and learn.

Mansion again

After deciding I didn't want another points bonus,rakeback sites only from now on,I cashed my points for 6 $20 tornie tokens.I played 6 Double or nothing turbos and cashed in 5 out of 6.Result $200 in my account.In the one I didn't cash in I missed my up and down and finished fourth.From now on this site will be freerolls and points tornies only since it is the most ungenerous I Poker site that I have ever encountered.WTF should I make Poker Strategy rich.

Mansion Poker

I recd a $200 bonus from them which i have just cleared.I now have 60,000 Mansion points which entitles me to a $100 cash bonus.When i look at the T&C's its not actual cash but another points related bonus. ie $10 for every 650 points.Their generosity astounds me.

Pokerplex VIP$2500 freeoll

Another success finishing 5th for $300.not bad for 3 hours work.Played 1 table of cash at the same time finishing the massive sum of 0.94c up .
This hand didn't help.http://www.pokerhand.org/?4190120P
Only donated $50 of it back with this non believing play.http://www.pokerhand.org/?4190109P
So a nice bank holiday planned grinding away trying to avoid Blackbelt graders who hopefully will be moving up levels soon .
V inept performance at Chelsea on Sat was disappointing as was Carshaltons loss in extra time in their play off final esp after missing a penalty in normal time.

Thank you Betfred for disconnecting me at this opportune moment

Strangely enough not a bad beat post.

Thanks for disconnecting me against the only hand that could beat me.
Been playing on Betfred today,don't know why,and i am getting fed up with the number of short stacks ,6 at 1 table is taking the piss.Obv I leave but I think IPokers points policy is to blame.If you are chasing points for their latest promo,why play 1 table with a full stack when you can play 5 with a minimum buy in and collect 5 lots of points.Obv if you have a rakeback deal instead then the above doesn't apply.
Budget update - In the next few years 79% of all that the UK produces will go to funding the failed banks.scarey prospect should have let em gone bust.
