UB's Christmas Gifts

Today, I had one of the worst sessions I've ever had. UB gave me multiple Christmas Gifts, all of which involved me getting coolered or sucked out. I didn't like the presents UB gave me at all. They were generous enough to give me nearly every cooler, suckout, or set-up in the book.

I played about 4,000 hands and lost $3.3k all at $2/4 NL. Unbelieveable. I can't even begin to explain what happened. My friend Billy was playing along side of me and saw a lot of the hands. He couldn't believe what was happening to me either.

My three biggest losses accounted for -7 buyins. The biggest loser, which was for 3 buyins, was probably a bad river call by me and I should have been able to fold...

All the others, I don't think I could do a whole lot about. If you want to see what I went through, take a peek. If not, fine.

Hand #1: I had a very aggro image and villain was a LAG regular. My 2nd biggest loser on the day.

Hand #2: I could have played this one a bit better. I should have check-raised to a much larger amount, probably like to $280 or something. Of course, terrible turn but at that point the pot was so big and I had a pot-sized bet left and he can still have like AQ, AJ, other crap I just shoved.

Hand #3: No clue why this guy is 3-betting my UTG raises with KJ. I thought the only Jacks in his range would probably be JJ. Fk my life.

Hand #4: Same guy as in my previous KK vs AA hand. He took about $3k off me today.

Hand #5: Another pre-flop cooler.

Hand #6: I messed up here. Terrible river for me. I should have probably folded to his shove or just flatted his river donk as his range is probably weighted towards air/nuts. A small raise is ok too I guess as he might call with AJ or AQ.

Hand #7: Another bad turn in a 3-bet pot. This time I have re-draws and brick.

Hand #8: Set over set. Happened very early in session.

Hand #9: Against the guy who had been lucksacking me all day. So sick.

Hand #10: I suppose I could have played this one differently... I missed my flop check-raise and didn't feel comfortable about raising and getting it in on the turn since the FR33 guy could easily have JJ or QQ and he led into two people... he just cold called the raise and 3-bet pre-flop from the BB.

Hand #11: Standard suckout.

I got smoked this session. I definitely made a few errors but wow... nothing was going my way. Part of me wants to just take a break until January but I wanted to build my roll up towards the end of this month so I could start playing $5/10 NL full time in January. So I don't know if I'll take a break or not.

I'm pretty disappointed/ disgusted right now. One of the rare times where I actually don't like my job all that much. I got the wind knocked out of my sails a bit today.
