1/2 Bad Beat...1/2 Bitching
Background: I've only played on PokerStars and FullTilt. I went from PokerStars and turned to FullTilt with the intention of staying there fulltime. Unfortunatly, every time I decide this I am quickly reminded of why I've always ended up going back to PokerStars. This most recent foree into FullTilt has lasted a total of TWO HOURS, as I am currently in the process of cashing out what I deposited just a mere two hours ago as I am already sick and tired of this place.
Bitch #1: $5 S&G. These things are garbage. Guy pushed with A2. Nice if your a good player, however the ability for people on this site to flop two pair is UNCANNY. So you have no idea if their drawing to three outs, or if you're drawing to two.
Though my main complaint is this...this $5 S&G took FOREVER. We were FIVE HANDED until the one hour mark. This seems ridiculous given the (deceptively) accelerated schedule.
The Bad Beats:
#1:
Hero: AJ
Villian: A8
Flop: A T 4 8 
I get knocked out of the S&G.
#2:
Hero: JJ
Villian: 99
Flop comes all undercards. We end up having the classic 4-to-the-flush hit the board. I lose.
Cripples my stack and I get knocked out soon thereafter. No big deal though. That's poker.
THEN THE BIG ONE!

Oh but the bad beats aren't done YET, as two hands later I'm seriously on tilt and dish out one of my own...
(And yes, I realize this is pretty passive play preflop, I promise I'm better than this, it's just sample bias.)

How do you guys at FullTilt PUT UP WITH THIS! This was in a mere TWO HOURS!!! I NEVER see this much stuff this bad ANYWHERE.
It's still BS, whether I'm getting it or giving it.

(did that help on your tilting?)

Wow. Looking at the last hand in the first post, I really don't think it could have been a more eventful flop. Two people flop sets, the other flops 2 pair. I don't blame anyone for their play, you just got scarewd!

I don't think there is anything that can help being a 90% favorite to win a pot with 230 BIG BLINDS, in it and lose.
I actually kind of felt like a dick dishing it out. Although I did add, "Sorry man, that wasn't meant for you."
BTW, Greenbuds notes now reads..."OWES YOU MONEY!" (ALthough this was the same guy that called TWO pot sized bets chasing the gutshot earlier in the round, so I'll be sure to look for him in that regard as well).

Sorry for postwhoring today, but...this was in my CURRENT S&G... (I cashed out what I deposited but kept a little in to fool around with.)
Luckily I wasn't involved in any of these...
AQ vs. A5 Both all in preflop. Flop comes with an ace. River 5.
AQ vs. 4s3s 43 is short stack and is all-in prelfop. Flops open ender, turns his straight.
...and we're still six handed, I'll post any more that happen.
