I got smoked on Stars today...

To make a long story short, I had one of my biggest losing days ever... dumping 10 buyins at 400NL. I ran countless buyins below expectation, and am now currently break-even for the month for my playing profits. I'm still up about $5k from rakeback and other poker-related activities... but I'm really disappointed right now. The most frustrating thing is that I'm $7,000 below expectation in all ins this month. If I run average, I'm up $7k from playing profits instead of even. It's pretty surreal.

I played well to begin with, got sucked out/ coolered a bunch... then I proceed to just open a bunch of tables to find some huge fish... well I found a lot of fish so I ended up playing too many tables, which didn't help. I should have just minimized it down to four and picked the best ones but it was tough to decide which ones to drop.

Anyways, I'll post a few hands so you can see what I went through...

This one is against a monkeyish villian, 3-bets like a bandit on the button. He SNAPcalled my shove... I'm actually a favorite here on the flop, but lose.

Against the same reg as the hand above. So sick.

Obviously I can't ever have a medium to high pocket pair here when I 4-bet so villain shipped it in with 55 and outraced my AQ.

I go all in with KK pre-flop, villain flops the stone cold nuts.

Great flop for my AA overpair, right? He could easily have TT-KK... NOPE! he's got me drawing dead.

I think that's enough hands.


Hopefully tomorrow goes a bit better than this. This is pretty disheartening.
