First time I've felt like I got "pwnd" in a while...

I ended up losing about $750 on Cake today. I had my standard losses... losing flips, suckouts, etc, but what REALLY pissed me off is this one reg absolutely CRUSHED me for two huge pots.

I don't know if I could have gotten away at any point in either hand because we had an insanely aggressive dynamic between us... but I really felt like I got owned really bad. I don't think I've ever felt like I've gotten completely owned twice by the same player in one session before. The two hands make me sick.

I'll start with those two hands... There is no using Poker Tracker or Holdem Manager on Cake, but if I had to guess this guy's stats, they were probably something like 28/24 AF 6 and a 3-bet % of about 12. We were 3-betting each other back and forth a ton. He seemed like a pretty good player, and perhaps just ran like GOD against me but I think I could possibly gotten away at some point in these hands... I just don't know.

First hand against this reg: He had made this EXACT check raise size before when he was OOP in a 3-bet pot on either an Ace or King high flop and I snapfolded. I don't know if I can ever consider laying this down, as even if he does in fact have two pair on the flop I still have decent equity... also he can easily have JJ, QQ, or KK that he didn't 4-bet pre-flop. It sucks that we are deep though, because if we were 100bbs deep there wouldn't be any question as to whether or not stacking off here is good or not. It would be a pretty obvious auto-felt IMO 100bbs deep.



Second hand vs the same reg about 30 minutes later: this one was pretty sick... I think he played it perfectly and took a really different line that totally threw me off... I should have just 4-bet jammed all in pre-flop instead of making the 2.5xs 4-bet... because I don't know for sure if he ever 5-bet bluffshoves or not. I probably should have folded after he CRAI on the river but I thought at least a decent % of the time he may have the same hand as me so we would chop.



I think I played this one OK, except I didn't have to 3-bet this pre-flop and inflate the pot. There are a lot of hands I don't mind getting it in with on the flop... hands like KcKs, JcJd, AdJc, etc. Of course he has one of the worst hands possible and I have nearly zero equity. I think he stabs $100 sometimes and folds to my checkraise all in too, so I don't love my play here but don't hate it either.



This hand is worth posting here just for sheer enterainment value, lol



I used my loose, squeezy image here to get it all in good with JJ on a rag flop... The Ah3h hand was the hand directly before the JJ hand.



I also pulled off a few nice bluffs, but I've decided not to post too many hands like that. I'll be explaining the bluffs to my students during future lessons.

I was playing a lot on Cake pretty much just so they would let me cash out because I wasn't able to a few weeks ago... they said I had received too many player to player transfers and could not withdraw. I'm going to give cashing out another shot now since I've played on there almost every day for a little bit, for the past week or so.
