on Full Tilt. (25/50 cent pot limit)

I'm up like $30 right now, but had some bad hands go down earlier.

me: pocket Qs.  raise the pot pre-flop, one caller.  Flop is j 6 5 scattered suits - nothing that scares me.  I bet $3, guy calls me - with nothing.  He has Q 9 diamonds and his only outs are runner runner straight or flush.  Turn is another diamond, so I bet the pot.  He calls again, a damn large bet and he calls with nothing - his only prayer being another diamond.  He gets it and takes my money.  Ridiculous calling on his part and he got lucky.  Grrrrrrrr.

And later, i have pocket 10s in the big blind.  The guy behind me raises the pot (with pocket 6s), I do the same (take it down now, don't want someone drawing out on me).  Well some guy calls my $18 raise on a 50-cent table with K7.  I'm all in but 50 cents at this point when the flop comes.... JKK.  Right away I knew I was in trouble.  Then the turn is another J and the guy with pocket 6s puts me all-in (not sure what he was thinking).  Full house wins a huge pot, I have to buy back in.  Dude called an $18 pre-flop raise with K7 - wtf??

But like I said - I'm back up $30 right now, so I'm over it
