Update: funds received, FTP is the greatest. Carry on.

In all seriousness, I have at least one session like this per week. i don't think this is all that uncommon a session, tbh.

You had three overpairs run into sets or better on the flop. If you played 1000 hands, you played AA/KK about 8 times. So your overpairs ran into a better hand 3/8 times instead of 1 in 8 times--this is bad, but not earth shattering or even remarkable, really.* Tomorrow you will play AA/KK 8 times and they will hold up every time and you'll barely be running bad at all for the two sessions combined.

The suck out on your set was pretty bad, but the guy spiking the flush draw is pretty standard. But you just have to console yourself with the fact that you were ahead both times and in the long run you are praying for there to be thousands of players who will play this way against you.

You probably should have lost less with the KK hand. I don't mind getting stacks in with AA and the A of clubs, but with only the K I am going to play a pot control hand. There was no value in overshoving, though, as almost nothing (at most) calls that you beat.

*If you played more than 1000 hands, then of course, this bad run is even less of a bad run, and may not even have been a bad run at all if you played, say, 3k hands.

one a week mpethy...I am wish I ran like you. Of course I have at least 1 150+BB complete spew play by me that I am like "well that was stupid, I knew it was stupid, I knew it was dumb at the time, yet I still did it."

On another note, I need to to keep a journal of all the stupid plays I am seeing. I just lost KK in a 4bet pot 3 way on a K25 board that wen that went runner 3 6..of course the guy flatted 4 raises PF and open shove the flop with J4o...

Best from last night. I raise AKs from UTG and get 5 callers. Flop comes 433, it checks around, turn is a T, MP1 donk leads for a minbet $0.5..me and two other guys call...River is a T..checks down. MP1 donk had 33...SB had JT......pot was about $6.5......UNREAL Slowplay.

Just wanted to introduce myself here. Started playing 50NL 2 weeks ago. ( I've played for a while, but haven't had teh opportunity to play 50nl) So far, it's a grind, and sadly I'm barely winning. (2bb/100). I'll be posting more hands as I come upon them. Gimme a shout if you're at my table!

sup bro!

Welcome and gl!

shooting NL100 is fun !

.

there is an FTP echecks thread up in the internet forum, may want to check there. Seems to change daily.

I have been withdrawing fine, but I haven't tried to make a deposit for over 2 years now, so I have no idea.

ZOMG, your vandergata??? I totally had a sick spot last night with you when I had KK and I ended up folding on a 2 2 4 board in a three-way pot and you ended up having the same hand as me. You remember the one I'm talking about? I'm too lazy to dig up the HH, but I opened for 2, some guy 3-bet to 8 and then you cold-called outta the BB. I then called (debatable) as your smooth-call seemed an awful lot like aces to me. The flop came 2 2 4 like I said and you checked, I checked, 3-bet guy went all in for just over pot and you then over-shoved and ended up having KK as well. I was talking with my coach and a friend and I was wondering if I 4-bet pre-flop are you ever going to fold?? We have a fairly decent sample on each other I believe, my SN is SchruteFarms.

Nice table.

Well I guess it is good to know that you have sessions like this as well. I wish it was only once a week though I think for me it has been more like 3 out of 7 days of play and it is really crushing my win ratio hard. Haven't been able to climb up much at all even with rakeback and had to drop down to 25NL to find my game again. At 50NL I was eating these beats and losing money at 25NL I can usually crush the game hard enough so that cards don't matter too much.

Running bad4L,
it doesn't matter tho, poker isn't about winning money today, it's about winning at the end

and otherwise you can always luckbox yourself in a tournament like Jamie Gold did

PM ME YOUR AIM IF YOU WANT TO RAIL THE DRAFT THIS SUNDAY

Ok, so I fibbed, I didn't quit. Full ring is so frustrating tho, so I added some 6 max on Stars

I'll look up that hand for sure. I was so pissed yesterday because I was REALLY getting tired of flop folding QQ/KK/AA; despite being at tables full of droolers! You are, however, one of the few people I actively avoid during play. see ya round.

CDS: sorry if I came off too harsh on the tables we were starting.

Vandergata: was at some tables with you tonight.

Edmonton: You're on my **** list for not responding to my "sup bro?"

FTP RNG Guy: Can you PLEASE stop putting 4 to a straight on the board on the turn when I have an overpair? tyia.

Nah man, all good for sure. After I thought about it I understand what you were saying.

OMG, I totally feel really bad now. I obviously would never be so blatantly rude to anybody and I apologize for looking like an ass. I never, ever have chat on during cash play because watching people whine about standard stuff kinda tilts me after awhile. I probably turn chat on once a month and it's usually during a tournament or something. I dunno, it just helps me keep my focus etc. Anyways, "sup bro" right back atcha' mpethy!

ughh so over JUne ... come on july!!! In may i played on stars and was up 34 bi's for the month ... I switched to tilt for rakeback and Im down 12 bi's this month... def a -ev decision

UGH. lost 5ish buy in's last night. Ran -EV last night. That was fun. All in vs 2 players, my AA vs JJ and QTo (of course) on a ten hi flop. needless to say, I was drawing dead! Looks like I'll be... sniff sniff... dropping down to 25nl. (with a bankroll of $500 it seems like the most logical choice, but it makes me sad anyhow).

that's my rant/whine.

What is with the 4-flush and 4-straight boards last night??? There were so many of them...

OMG yeah. 10 buy ins at NL 50 would be enough to give me cold sweats at night. I'd grind the BR up a bit before playing much fidy unless you have outside money that you are willing to deposit.

stepping down is easy for my calculator to tell me. Hard for my ego to do.

16 Tables + Rakeback = 50NL next week.... hopefully!

Last night was horrible for me too. I hate whining because I think its a bad habit to get into, but I can't help myself. I had KK vs AA at 100 NL three separate times against fish playing at least 55/22 so I couldn't really do anything. Then I got all in with JJ on a J 9 8 board for 2 buy-ins against 109o and lose of course. Saturday better be more fun IMO.

PS- Mpethy, I hope I have erased myself from the **** list

I was j/k about the **** list. I figured you had chat off.

oh, and as I said a few posts up, all the 4 straighted boards were a result of me getting dealt AA/KK at a high rate. Every single time I saw a flop, bam! 6[c]7[c]8[c] like clockwork. 9[h] on the turn and **** like that. still did ok, though. nothing special, a solid 2 buy ins and change.
