Today, I had a really good day out just to come home right before the electricity company closed for the day, to find out my payment hadn’t gone through and they'd turned it off. FML

Today, I was in class, playing online poker and keeping up my winning record. I eventually got seated against a guy who beat me at every hand. I heard laughing behind me after I lost all my winnings. The guy behind me had just made an account, looked over my shoulder, and won all my money. FML

Today, I knew my wife and kid wouldn't be home until later, and I was excited to play video games and relax. The second I turned my computer on, the power went out. It came back on as my wife was pulling into the driveway. FML

Outage

Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML

Today, after playing numerous games of poker against my friend, and him telling me that I'm the best poker player he's ever met, I went out and played for real money. I got totally destroyed, lost all of my money, and was laughed out of the building. FML

Today, after playing in an online casino, I won £200. Being pretty tight for cash at the moment I was pretty excited. I then tried to withdraw it to be told that I can't have a penny of it because I didn't register my card details first. FML

Today, I finished working a 70 hour work week. I'm a lineman for the electric company, and worked extended hours all week getting people's lights back on after a wind storm. When I got home, my power was out. FML

Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML

Honestly....this is a fake FML post. There is no online poker site that holds your money and waits for you to enter information. Even if they did they wouldn't steal your money. Epic fail!

Maybe it's a sign from DJ Jesus that you shouldn't gamble. JustJoking. Seriously though, that sucks.

Sorry, poker sites aren't going to hold your money like this. Not for $3000. If you had won 300 grand, okay maybe. But even in that case, LOG BACK ON AND GET IT, DUMBASS! Fake or YDI.

Actually, they do hold your money. And you can choose when they payout. Seriously.. 99% of these comments are coming from people who have never played poker.

First day off in two years? I call bullshit. If it was true you could sue your employer and get WAY more than 3 grand. There's no way they would let you work that long without a day off.

Wait wait wait..so, you're posting from the USA. And you claim to have won real money playing online poker? Good job skirting the laws that ban US residents from gambling on online sites with real money. OH WAIT! You didn't..because this is fake.

Yeah, because no one has ever won real money gambling online in the USA. Moron.

#30....you obviously have NO idea what you are talking about....80% of the online poker players are from the US....and have you ever heard of professional poker players? they play online ALL OF THE TIME. it's a gray area...not illegal....not technically legal (until Dec. when it comes up for a vote).
