Had to quit for the first time down all four of my buy-ins @ 1/2. I'm trying to look @ it as a right of passage, but I'm pretty salty about it atm, as it's already been an ugly 2K stretch of hands (yes, sample size, 2K is 'nothing', etc, etc). Despite actually being happy about how I played the session, it's still a little bit difficult to shake-off. Hence, I'm writing this to blow off some steam. These stretches can feel like a genuine eternity live, and I rather not have to complain to RL loved ones about poker-related nonsense, so thanks for entertaining my rant.

Here are my final two hands of the night . . . .

Hero ($240): 2 2

limp, limp, V1 ($400+, CO) r $13, fold, V2 ($205, SB) c $13, Hero c $13, EP c $13, fold

Flop ($54): 3 3 2

V2 x, H x, EP x, V1 b $45, V2 c $45, H c $45, EP folds

Turn ($189): K

V2 x, H x, V1 b $182 all-in, V2 c $148 all-in, H c $182 all-in

River ($705): J

V1 shows K Q

I show/table pretty quickly

V2 loudly announces "SHIP IT" & tables 3 2

As he's collecting/stacking chips, he turns to me and says, "When you went all-in, I knew you had 22."

Classic.

I still have $75 from the side-pot, and though steamed, there were still a # of loose/spewy openers @ the table, and decide to wait this final orbit for a potentially decent shoving opportunity before leaving . . . .

Hero (CO): T T

BTN straddles $5, fold x 3, V r $20, fold, H r $75 all-in, fold, V c $75

F/T/R: 8 8 7 9 6

V quickly declares/shows 8 8

Four buyins

Someone declare a State of Emergency

play better, win moneyz

Fair enough Colin_Piddle. That's basically what I need to hear.

Tips?

#RIPOP

I know it sucks, but what can you do? Gotta lose that money.

yeh what can you do op

Just go back to giving handjobs in the alley to make back the money.

How much did you lose after taxes?

The thought crossed my mind. Obviously.

Worst case, I go back to my old life as a stripper/private-eye.

I appreciate yours/everyone's words of encouragement during this trying episode.

That what we're here for

and we will always be here for you

Whats the tax situation looking like op

Nice one!

sad

You should bluff more if he knew you had 22 when you went all in

Got sticky fingers yet?

CALL MY CARD AND SAVE ME FROM THE DONK

You have been saved, bro.

I think I’ve played less than 2000 hands overall live and I’ve been boat over boated 10x and lost to quads 10x and I haven’t even made quads yet.

I did make quads once on poker night in America play money though for a big pot.

So you haven't made quads yet but you did make quads once.
