About this time last year I went on a massive downswing.....losing with good cards too. Got to the point where I was thinking that I just couldn't win, no matter what. Made me take a break for a bit.
a few examples:
- KK on the button in a straddled pot (1/2 NLHE), 2 callers of Straddle, so $18 in the pot. I raise to $60 & get 2 callers. Flop comes K
5
2
......Checked to me & I jam for about $230 & get SNAPPED called from UTG. He shows 8
4
& rivers his flush.....so this guy just paid almost $300 for an 8 high flush draw.....
In that same span of time I lost with AA about 4 times. a few on them after flopping an Ace & getting called down with a gut shot & of course they hit their gut shot....
Flopping sets, losing to straights. Flopping flushes to lose to rivered boats.
This lasted for about 3 months.....I still haven't fully recovered those loses.
