Bleh. Yuck!

Postby Piscivorous » Jan 05 2011

Had a tough session live today. Way too many second best hands. $3/$6 LHE. Why? Because it plays like $0.10/$0.20 LHE...However, blinds go 3/2/2 with button paying $2.

I should have grabbed my chips and ran after the first hand:

I get :8d :7d in the BB. Three people limp and the button and SB complete and I check my option.

Flop comes: :4c :6c :5h SB checks and I bet out, fold, raise, fold, call, call and I 3-bet, getting raiser to call and the button to call.

Turn is :8s I bet, call, call.

River is :7h I bet, raise, fold, call.

Flop re-raiser shows :9h :2h :shock:

Three flopped straights all lost. Four flopped flushes went 1 for 4.

I got KK once and an A flops. :P

AK and AQ never improved. I converted 5 flushes and 3 straights and won 1 of each. The flushes always either ended up against a better flush [once against two better flushes] or with a rivered fourflush and omnipresent A of suit.

It was a basic have-monster-lose-while-opponents-can-win-with-A-high syndrome. I lost 48BBs in 6 hours. Probably my most painful loss. Considering how poorly these people play and the weird circumstance of big made hands losing to some real dicey results, I can't feel down about it. These players are just oozing chips from every pore and I just need to be there with a mop to soak the chips up over the long run.

Despite the obvious brutal tones of this post, I think it is awesome that you are taking a positive outlook from it all.
