Sickening string of Cold decks



Posted Thu Feb 15, 2007 1:00 am GMT by exit music
Wow so I just got home from a shortened session of NL40 with my friends 2 buyins poorer. It was sicksicksick, cold deck after cold deck, I hardly got my money in with the best hand except maybe once.

I actually built my stack up to about 80$ in the first 20 minutes or so thru some nice bluffs and some nice hands. We were only playing 5 handed .50/1.00

1:

Hero/CO(85)- Queen of SpadesNine of Spades
SB(20)
EP(35)

Preflop:
EP Calls, Hero Calls, SB raises to $3, EP calls, Hero calls (pot $10)

Flop: Ace of ClubsQueen of HeartsNine of Hearts

SB check EP checks, hero bets $8, SB calls EP folds

Turn: Nine of Clubs

SB checks, Hero bets All-in, SB calls

SB shows Ace of SpadesAce of Hearts and I'm drawing dead except for the 9, which I miss


Maybe 4 hands later...

Hero BB ($65) Jack of HeartsSeven of Hearts
SB ($70)
Button (35)

Preflop: button calls, SB calls, hero checks, $3 in the pot

FLOP: Jack of SpadesNine of HeartsSeven of Clubs

SB bets $2, BB raises to $7, button folds, SB raises to $12, BB calls, $27 in the pot.

At this point I wasn't so sure I had the best hand, I doubted he had an overpair, he is the type of player to 3bet with a hand like KJ so he could have had that, although the main hand I thought he probably had was 10-8

Turn: Jack of Clubs

Bingo. SB bets $10, Hero raise to $20, SB calls

River Two of Diamonds

SB all-in, Hero calls. SB shows Jack of DiamondsNine of Spades for nut full-house, I muck my 2nd nut full-house

Pwned

So after this hand I rebought, I managed to run my stack up to about $60 again. I was playing insanely loose aggressive, my stats were probably about 60/35/20

Hero button (60) - Ace of SpadesJack of Hearts
BB (75)
EP (35)

Preflop:

EP calls, Hero raises to $4, BB calls EP calls, Pot- $13

Flop: Ace of ClubsJack of DiamondsEight of Diamonds

BB bets 3, EP calls, hero raises to $15, BB calls, EP folds.

Turn: Queen of Spades

BB checks Hero bets $20, BB raises All-in Hero calls.

BB shows Ace of HeartsNine of Hearts

River Ten of Clubs

lolowned


After that hand I decided to give up.

lame lame lame lame lame lame now I'm poor Sad
not poor.

Ouch! Pwned! Don't take it too hard, man. Those nights are rough, but you did the right thing in realizing that it just wasn't your night and walking away. You could've done what numerous others (including myself) have done and kept rebuying hoping to win your money back and lost even more. Sorry about your luck. Those nights just suck.
