Tilt on a Freeroll?
Let me state up front that I did not actually tilt on a freeroll. I was rather pissed off recently about one, though, and then later it occurred to me how absurd it was to even get irritable about a freeroll. Or even the micro-limits I have been playing lately, where I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300,000 times the BB in bankroll.
I have a goal in my head to start a bankroll at Royal Vegas without ever making a deposit. I need to money in a freeroll and then take it to the micro-limit tables and run it up. I did this at Absolute Poker once and it was quite a lot of fun. (Chronicled here). There is a Prima $1,000 at 8:30 p.m. every night. I have been playing that one fairly regularly of late. Thursday mnight I was making a good run for the money. There were about 430 left in and about 250 make the money. I had 2.5 times the average stack and was looking good. I pulled in KK and pushed all-in from UTG+1. I got called by someone with about 2/3 of my stack, and he showed ATo. I flopped a K, and looked good to run deep in this freeroll. Then I took a J on the turn and a Q on the river and I lost the pot. Now I was crippled. Two hands later I had A4s on the BB. The C/O limped first in and I pushed. He called and showed 88. I did not improve and IGHN.
I stomped about my house muttering and cursing for the next ten minutes. 
I honestly took 4 runner runner beats that night. I cannot get anything to hold up. My last hand last night I had KTs and flopped trips. I got called down and out-kicked. It's just been the perfect formula lately for getting beat. I've dumped about $25 at the micro-limits. Like 250 BBs. Good grief!
Since I am too stubborn to quit, the only thing to do is to keep hacking away at it!
