ugly days

wow, i lost like 15 buy-ins at 50NL these past 2 days... i couldnt catch a break?

look at some hands where i just couldnt win... left is my hand, then the opponent's hand and finally the board as it ly WHEN the money went in.. with the suits when relevant.

all these were all-ins for ~full buy-in


JJ - AQ - K T 9 J---- sickest turn card possible

74 - 66 - 7 6 4---- cooler

77 - AsK - Ts 7s 9s----- he was 28% to win but hit it

AsQs - Q9 - Q-9s-6s----- monster hand-and draw but no help

AK - 88 - A 8 2 9 K------ cooleriffic

AA - 33 - J 7 3 7------ KIND of a cooler... i guess i had him on a set, but when the turn 7 hit, the ONLY hand he could have that had me beat was really 3-3 only... he wouldve raised JJ preflop and no way hes got quads!

AK - KQ - 3 3 Q K----- i played it bad and floated his what i thought was a weak continuation bet, then i improve and donk it off, even though his action on the turn told me i was beat. this one totally on me

88 - KQ - K K 2 6------ opponent raised it preflop and made strong bets on flop and turn, followed by me trying to represent his own hand. i had him on like a pair; 77-JJ and thought to get him off it

KJ - As2s - Js 3s 3------- he wouldntve played anything that had me beat the way he did here... he hit flush on the turn

KK - 33 - 6 5 3------ i way commited myself with a pre-flop re-raise but they still wanted to peek at the flop and they got there



all my tourney winnings from 2 days ago down the drain!

Very Mad

I hear ya bro. Sometimes the going gets really tough, but as long as you're making the right decisions, you should try to remember that you are still a winning player.

Sometimes when I find myself in similar situations, I try to think things like "hey, at least you DID have the good cash, otherwise those 15 buy-ins would sting a lot more. Now I can just refocus, because all those losses were just a freeroll." Sometimes it helps.
