Frustration
It sucks to do a lot of things right and still lose. Lost about $500 today. Here's why:
Hand #1: Sickest thing about this hand, is how much he's crushed by my range. He runs into one of the weakest hands I'd ever play this way and I lose the pot even though I'm 53% to win on the flop.
Hand #2: I had set this regular up by 3-betting him, even on this same table, like 5-6 times before this hand over the past 15 minutes. I expected him to be about ready to 4-bet bluff me so when he did I was like, YES !!!
Hand #3: This was the very first hand of my play today. Off to a great start, huh?
Hand #4: Just got sucked out on here.
Hand #5: The customary KK vs AA all in pre-flop.
I could keep posting hands but it's pointless, there's nothing to learn from any of these. I played a few hands poorly but those hands were all small to medium pots and weren't that big of mistakes.
This month is starting to feel like that one month last year when I ran something like $20k or whatever below all in EV. Today I only ran $2k below EV and I'm about $7k below EV on the month so far. I wasn't going to look at this stat anymore but I just wanted to take a peek to see if I'm losing because of poor play or bad luck... looks like it's probably because of the latter.
