Hi Im new here and want to get your opinion on this hand.
I played this hand in a live 5/5 PLO game.
I was the bigstack with over 2k
BB 1,9k
I have QJd 78h UTG and open for pot, its a very soft table with full of recreational players. In this game there was no 3betting going on without double suited connected AA.
we play 7handed and everybody called except the SB, so far so good.
the flop comes out pretty nice with KdTd6h, so we have a open ended straight flush draw and a backdoor flush draw.
i lead for a little over half pot and got 2 callers.
The turn is a 5h giving me 2 open ended straight flush draws.
At this point having no showdown value but a ton of outs, i decided to pot the turn, and got a call and a repot from the BB.
At this point i know he has slowplayed KK, the pot is huge, i have Q high and
i was sure i get the right odds to call it off against top set but the Cutoff who called my potsize bet is mostlikely to have a big draw himself a hand like Ax of diamonds with probably QJ aswell, but at this point he had only 100 left so i wasnt worried about him.
As you know nobody in the history of plo bricked 2flush draws
I called it off, as i knew BB shows all black KK22 blocking none of my outs.
the cutoff showing AQJT with no suit, very questionable play in my opinion.
We run it 2times, both time the BB makes a boat and scoops a big pot.
Probably helpful to say that i run horrible since 4months, loosing with flopped
top boats against rivered bigger boats also as quads against running royals, flopped top sets against runner runner flushes. im just sick of it to loose all the time with the best hand on the flop against a dead hand.
Im normally a winning player, living from cashgame poker and i also paid college with poker. Variance hit me very hard in the last months, Im on such a big downswing I lost nearly over 40.000 over the past 4 months.
So my question is would u guys have played the hand differently, maybe more passive, when u know u dont hitting any cards? And when you hit you always get sucked out on the river?
Should i take a break from poker?
I dont know what is going on, i feel like getting robbed loosing all the time against 2% hands on the river.
I know variance can be sick, but when people who are 70 years old playing poker for over 50 years saying to me they didnt saw such a beat in a half a century, something has to be going wrong very bad.
Wish you guys all the best
