The Comeback

I had one of the most insane sessions of my career yesterday. I played 4,200 hands on PokerStars and finished down about $800... and I'm thrilled with the result. Why am I happy about losing 2 buyins? Well, because I was down $3.4k at one point in the session !!!




I have never been coolered so many times in once session before. It was just sick. The first 1,200 hands of the session, I ran into cooler after cooler followed by a suckout and it went on and on and on and just wouldn't stop. Even at the end of the session, I was within 50 big blinds of being back to even TWICE and each time I got royally screwed by an unreal cooler. Eventually I just gave up and called it a night.

I got felted 8 separate times for 100 big blinds or more each time.

1st stack lost: 150bbs lost to set over set on a 743 two diamond board. I had 44.

2nd stack lost: I 3-bet KK vs a fish and raise his tripple donk three times on a JTXXK board. He has AT with the backdoor nut flush.

3rd stack lost: A fish set mines vs my huge 3-bet squeeze when I have JJ. I flop overpair, he flops set, my money goes bye bye.

4th stack lost: I hit top two pair vs an aggro monkey reg on a KQ4 board. He has 44 obviously.

5th stack lost: I float a c-bet with an OESD and pick up a flushdraw on the turn and bet it in position. I hit flush on river and he CRAI with the 2nd nut flush and I have the 3rd nut flush. Also, the hand was played in a manner that made it nearly impossible for him to have the nut flush too... so he had like the one hand that beat me.

6th stack lost: I flop two overs and the NFD on a raggedy flop in a 3-bet pot and ship it in and I'm up against AA obviously, so my equity isn't nearly what I had expected.

7th stack lost: I made a spewy mistake in a 3-bet pot vs a monkey reg. This one was played poorly and my fault that I lost.

8th stack lost: QQ vs KK AIPF vs a fish with a VPIP of 50 and a complete moron.


I also lost COUNTLESS medium pots where I would have a sicko draw and brick the turn and river. That happend at least 4-5 times and I lost about 20-40% of a stack each time.

Lost numerous other medium pots where I just got unlucky. Here's a HH to one of them, just because it pretty much sums up how the session went.

I did, however, play ridiculously well to get back to being only down $800.

It just wasn't my day yesterday.
