McG Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Re: Live the dream with 888.com's Pacific Poker! My connection was patchy, especially when I was playing elsewhere at the same time. Computer mucked my 77 on a 6 7 10 flop (pocket 66 won a big one), and folded my KK in the BB against an aggressive player on the rob. Still alive, but bombed out of focus game in record quick time (even for me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
