The first happened to me at NoPayPOKER.com free poker games Sponsor Tournament, I had KK, and my opponent had k 10, two tens appeared and threw me out of the tournament.

The second was also at NoPayPOKER Real Money, I was 10 10 in my hand and the flop appeared 10 6 2, I did all-in, my opponent call with him as j, the flush was not possible. But a Q and a K followed made me lose my hand.

The third play I remember was the most painful, I had $150 in titan poker, I was playing a real money head up, the flop gave me four of a kind fives, the flop 556 and the turn was an ace my opponent all-in. I call; he showed a 4 and a 2 of spades, 5 and 6 of the table were spades. I had a 0.02% chance of losing, 1 card only saved him from a possible 45, and the worst part was that 3 of spades appeared.

This was the turning point for me where I decided to stick to playing free poker games rather than gambling away my own money.

There was a point for me where I nearly quit poker altogether due to thinking it was a mugs game. Somehow I still think it is so, but once a poker player, always a poker player. Although you only remember the bad things that happen to you, good things leave you money.

So, after all my years of playing poker, whatever type it has been, I concluded 3 things:
1) This is poker and there is no certainty in any game
2) I prefer short memories and deep pockets
3) When you lose the desire but still need to play, try playing at free poker games at places like NoPayPOKER, at least there you can scratch the itch, maybe win a bit of money while not losing your shirt!
