			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve deposited in Raider Poker. Only deposited a little. $500 (about 0.0000001% of my bankroll) just to try it out.<br />
Lets see if I can turn it into $10 million. Should be easy!</p>
<p>So the first tournament I played is just $3 tournament. I should play for more as I&#8217;m great, but who cares.<br />
And those idiots at Raider Poker made it a guaranteed $150 prize fund even though theres only 30 donks in it. Idoits!<br />
<span id="more-18"></span></p>
<p>The blind are 10/20  and some idiot raised my Big Blind to 60. I had 10-4 offsuit, (not as good as 10-5 offsuit) so to let him know I had a monster I moved allin for 1500, and the idoit folded.<br />
After two hand&#8217;s, already up 60. I am the greatest. Suck that you idiot, trying to raise my BB.</p>
<p>Got A-9 in early position so raise to 700 (70 times the big blind) and some idoit calls with A-J, Flop comes A-5-9 turn K river 7, I knock him out what an idiot calling with A-J. Now on 2480, I should quit now, but for some reason it won&#8217;t let me. Who cares I&#8217;m going to win anyway.</p>
<p>Lost my first hand, had J-J and the flop come K-7-3, I had a feeling he had a king so i fold before he can bet. Yes I am that good, I can read you like morse code.</p>
<p>Won another big hand, had K-J offsuit, should have folded, no one had raised yet so I call, the flop comes A-4-5 with two spades. Knowing I had the King of spades, I slow play to try and trap,  the idiot raises, so I call. The turn comes a 10 of spades. Now I have the nuts, any Q or any spade. I check again and the idiot moves all in for 1700, so I call knowing I have the best hand. The idiot turns over his bluff A-10, I show him the nuts. The river is the 6 of spades. Knocked out another idiot!!</p>
<p>Got 9-6 in early position. I was going to raise, but had a feeling the BB had 10-5 offsuit so I fold. What a read. I have that guy in my shoe!</p>
<p>After an hour, sitting 8th with 4540 chips. Disappointed I&#8217;ve not won it yet, but these idiots have hit lucky!</p>
<p>Got 9-9 in the Small Blind, some idiot (small stack) went allin, so know I have a near unbeatable hand I call.<br />
He turns over K-J suited, the flop J-J-10 turn 8 river 9. That idiot nearly got lucky. But the best hand won in the long run.<br />
Knocked out idiot number three!!</p>
<p>Got K-J on the small blind, folded round to me, should probably fold cause there&#8217;s not much money in the pot, but I know BB is an idiot, so raise know he will call and then I can out play him. But he must have just reliazed how good I am, and folds. What an Idiot!!</p>
<p>Lost a big pot to an Idiot there! He raised my big blind and I have a monster (5-7), so call to trap and the flop comes three hearts, I don&#8217;t have one so he probably doesn&#8217;t either, so I bet and he raises so I re-raise and he moves allin. I have to fold the lucky idiot probably had pocket 2s. I&#8217;ll Get him next time.</p>
<p>What a idiot I move allin on the bluff in the small blind, and the idiot in the BB calls. I have A-J and he has A-Q and the lucky shit hits the Q. What a lucky idiot! Do you know how to play poker! Away and play bingo you lucky Twat!<br />
What an Idiot!!!</p>
<p>Finished 11th on the bubble, How unlucky am I, out played every one and still didn&#8217;t win!  Better move up stakes and see if there&#8217;s less idiots up there. Probably not!</p>
