Bad session

I just had a long session on Stars today and played nearly 5k hands... I got into a lot of unfortunate spots and was unable to fold some good but not great hands to large bets or raises... I ended up down 1.2k. I'm not thrilled with my play, however, people seemed to be hitting stuff on me left and right.


A few short examples:

When I had KK I 3-bet squeezed huge from the blinds, flopped an overpair on an 87X flushdraw board and c-bet and got raised... I felted it and sure enough the button (who just flatted the initial raise pre-flop) had a set of 7's... this was for 200bbs.

My open raise gets squeezed by a habitual 3-bettor... I have AQo and 4-bet and he jams I call... but he has AK and I lose.

I 3-bet bluff squeeze Kd5d and flop a K hi flushdraw and a gutterball on a A34 two diamond board... I c-bet and get it in and lose a flip against AK.

Top set TTT on a TXX all heart board in a 3-bet pot... obviously someone c/c my two barrel shove with the flopped nut flush.

Etc, etc, etc.


I also ran a little bit below expectation in all ins. I ran about $400 below expectation.


I was playing too many tables (about 8) because of all the fish that were online tonight. From now on, I'm only going to play no more than four 6 Max tables at once and no more than six full ring tables at once. I really need to focus on the particular situations more because I'm making mistakes that are costing me pots. The money I would gain by playing extra tables isn't the biggest issue for me either. I need to improve my play and the best way to do that is to really focus and try and play perfectly while playing a smaller amount of tables.

I also played the Sunday Million today, which was a ridiculously huge tournament... there were 14,000 people playing it. First place paid out $300,000. I ended up making the money by finishing 715th. I shoved K5s in the small blind when it was folded around to me and the BB woke up with AJo and called and I lost the 40/60 almost flip. Standard. I ended up winning just a bit more than my buyin for the tourney.

I need to kick it into gear, because I'm down about 2k in cash so far this month and down about 1k from donkaments. I think the best way to do this is focus on quality, not quantity.
