The day of the cooler...

I played 2,600 hands today and lost about $1.3k. I think I played OK, but failed to make a few sick laydowns that I probably could have made if I was playing perfectly. I guess I just can't expect to win all the time obviously and today was a wake up call. It was a frustrating session because each time I started to hit some hands and win pots and build momentum, shortly thereafter I would get felted due to a cooler.




A few of the coolers were pre-flop. I ran QQ into AA all in pre-flop vs a regular who was squeezing and is very squeeze happy and has a very very high 3-bet stat.

Another pre-flop cooler when I 3-bet, got 4-bet, and shipped in AK sooooted on the button vs a regular and he had American Airlines.

This one takes the cake though. It was right at the end of the session vs a massive fish. What can I do?

This one pissed me off. Again, another pretty big fish. He had a pretty low 3-bet stat but I had just iso-raised him a few times before this so I felt that he was nearing the point of being fed up with me. I expected him to pot the flop with any 2 cards but I'm not sure if he would continue to pot the turn with a hand like AK. It seems like the limp/3-bet by a fish is normaly a massive massive hand, but I guess here I'm only beaten by KK and AA... it just sucks as those are probably two very likely holdings for him to have. Had he been a bit more passive I think I could think about folding the turn possibly. I just don't know for sure though because it's really odd that he's betting full pot when there are no obvious draws out there. That seemed suspicous to me.

Normally, I try and avoid going broke in an unraised pot... but I think there's a chance that he could play a set like this, especially 555 so I'm not sure if this is foldable at any point. Stupid thing was though, once he re-raised to $360 like INSTANTLY I knew he had 64 but shipped it in anyways. This is why I don't like to go broke in an unraised pot... you have no clue what anyone has.

Value owned myself here vs a fish. No clue how he has a set here. I thought for sure I was valued towning a weaker Q or a draw on the turn and expected him to c/c my river bet with something like QJ or KQ.... guess he c/c with sets too...

Last one. This one was right before I ended my session. This fishy player had donked into me a few other times over the past 10 minutes or so. I was sure that he was either bluffing with air or valuebetting top pair. So I was just going to let him bluff off his stack. I guess I can shove turn but I don't think he's comitted at that point and I took the line that would get me the most EV possible.

That's enough hands for now. I'm sure you get the idea of how the session went by now.


Overall, I had a decent weekend thanks to my big day on Friday so I'm pretty happy with the results of the past three days. First 1/3 of the month has gone well. I'm going to try and play my best for the rest of the month. Also, I'm going to make sure that I stick to playing 4 tables and taking a break every 2 hours when playing. That's going to be my November goal starting from now until the end of the month. I think if I'm able to do those two things 100% of the time I'll have a great result for the month.
