I have been running absolutely terrible for the last 3 months. My confidence is shot. Everything I do goes wrong:
When I have it, they suck out or have nothing.
When I don't have it, they call.
Any flip, I lose.
Any cooler goes against me.
If I tilt, I tilt large.
3 months of this. I have been mixing in a lot of live play...simply because I need money and they are beyond awful. It's funny, I haven't seen so many runner runners in a row ever. Live is rigged beyond anything I have ever seen. I have been putting my money in 70% or better to somehow lose every time.
One hand I played sticks out in my mind:
I open 67ss UTG, both blind call.
flop 67Jr
Jay: $50
SB: $170
Jay: $350 more
Sb: Call
Turn: T
River A:
SB: ATo
Jay: Muck
I can't beat a live 5-5 game. That's ridiculous. The play is worse than .25/.50 online.
I also played this hand which amused me to no end:
I open KxKx in EP. Both blinds call. Blinds never fold.
Flop is Ac3s4s.
It's checked around.
Turn: 6s
It's checked around
River comes some brick like a red 9 or something. Checked around again.
Sb shows J5o, BB mucks. I show Kings for 1 pair. Then Sb asks me: "Why didn't you bet?" Jay: "Would you have raised?" Sb: "No, but why didn't you bet?" Jay: "Would you have called?" SB: "No but you should bet there." So the rest of the night I tried to play pots against this guy as much as I could. He kept amusing me by winning 1 pot where I cbet $50 into KTx w/ 89o, he called, river came a Ax. Then he shoves all in for a huge overbet having me way covered. So I hollywood it then fold. Someone asks him if he had the straight...he smugly replies that he didn't but because all I do is raise and bet he decided to stick it to me. It was cute he neglected to tally all the pots I won off him where he would limp and call large raises and then fold the flop.
And the best part is...the worst player at the table (a different guy!) who kept putting his money in as a dog vs me and sucking out challenges me to 10-25 HU. IMMEDIATELY my friend sitting to my right asks for half my action. That was an interesting change because I'm usually the one doing the HU challenging. I would have instantly played him had I not been running like absolute hell for the last 3 months but I think it may be time to practice some (gasp!) bankroll management and not get rivered for 5k and then tilt off another 10.
2 things still puzzle me:
1. How in the world am I losing in these games? I should be walking out with 2-3k every time. I am embarassed for myself that I have dropped so low as to retell bad beat stories from 5-5 live games. This is really a new low...even for me.
2. Why don't any of these guys play online? 30 hands an hour sucks!
Anyone want to lay me odds on how long until I am completely busto?

Just checking in on you spammer. You will let you guard down eventually and I will find out who you are and crush you...I do not easy forget people that have spoken against me LOL. You thought you were some big "rakeback" guy but your just a little fish loser. At least i get the last laugh...oh yeah, your blog violates at least 3 rules in the Blogger TOS...I am reporting you so if you can afford the $50 to set up a real blog than good for you lol.
He probably makes more in a month just off my rakeback then you do in a month. Keep hating.
hi there I there I know exactly what you mean ak vs fishes q6 who was the bb i make big raise preflop 4k fish moves in for 10k just cos i got postion ! and willing to put his whole stake on on his gut that im just aking a move with no ggod cards. The fact I have been playing tight and not made no moves was irrelevant obv. runner runner 1 card flush draw for him. another aq vs a2 was a raise b4 me i call in sb. bb calls as well flop comes rainbow with an A I push for 2k rasier folds bb calls runner runner 22 he makes full. My confidence is so low now after lossing 12k that I am now being walked over so I begin 2 tilt end up costing me another 10k my entire bankroll!
Aftermonths of hard work with an initial investment of 1k. I am know question was it worth all the time I put in when there is absoultly nothing you can do to prevent this.
