First WBCOOP Qualifier last night

Well thanks to my grateful internet provider who keeps resetting my internet connection every hour or less, I am very thrilled because it kills my chances to get anything done at work. It took them 10 minutes on the phone to realize it is an issue on their end (no sh1t I told them that like 20 times lol) and the technicians seem to have some fun to play around with my connection. I was able to jump into the NLHE Qualifier last night though and I must admit I know exactly why I don't like Pokerstars ;)

I don't really want to use the d word (yes, in the past it was the f word and now it's the d word), so I rather call it "creative play" ... busted somewhere in the 400ish and needed top 200 to qualify for the finals, top 153 also get SCOOP coupons. One of the creative players called my all in pre with 1 player behind him for 3.5k stack on 50-100 with K9 off suit and hits one of the 3 outs to take down my AK. Ah well, that's poker I guess ... the snapcall was really fascinating though, I must try that out next time as well.

The personal "lol" highlight was the following hand that happened at my table, been a while since I seen such a masterpiece of variance xD:

Pableras said, "lol"

I am not sure though why PokerStars thinks that PLO8 is the most hated game or why on earth they would put that qualifier for 10pm EST = 4am german time. Kinda sucks because it's my fav poker type. Not sure if I gonna be dumb enough to stay up and play that one. 

lol.
