Miserable session...

I lost $2.5k today on Stars over 4,600 hands...


A surreal session, hard to even believe some of the things that happened. First off, my all in EV was terrible... If I run average I lose 800 instead of 2.5k. That means I lost $1,700 just due to bad luck in all ins... that doesn't even count some miracle cards that people hit on me on the turn or river before we got all in.

Honestly, I don't even know where to start with the hands. I guess I'll just put the biggest ones first and go down from there... you're probably going to get sick of looking at sick beats or whatever but I have to post some of these to let off some steam. Look at as few or as many as you would like.

Ok, here we go.

Biggest loser of the night: This one was very annoying... villain is the donk at the table, getting hit by the deck. Villain was 65/33 AF 1.7 over 800 hands. Check raises turn 11% and folds to 3-bets 11%. I knew what he had, but I just couldn't lay this down because it was just so hard to believe that he actually had A9 in this situation but it's really the only hand that makes sense.. that and pocket 9's. I posted this on the Cardrunners forums so I'd like to see what they say. I don't know if I can ever get away from this on the turn or not.

This one was sweet, he binked a 2 outer on me on the river.

Runner runner madness here.

This one is one of my favorites. Villian was a huge donk and could have almost any pair here and stack off with it.

Got JJ in good here.

I ran QQ into KK all in pre-flop in unavoidable situations twice.


Lost two flips; all in pre-flop with AK vs QQ CO vs BTN and AIPF QQ vs AK CO vs BTN.

There are more, but I'm not going to post any more because I think the general theme of what happened is pretty evident.

I was on some perfect tables with huge clowns for most of the night and still wasn't able to get a good result. In fact, when I quit I could barely even bring myself to leave my tables because they were so good. The one dude with A9 was still hanging around, boasting a 3k stack. I guess sometimes it just isn't your day and there's no point in banging my head against the wall if nothing is working right.

Days like these are what make poker so frustrating... I work my hardest, play my best, and get owned.
