ok so usually i dont post in the middle of the week unless somthing happens worth posting. so right now im just running super shitty and pretty much want to rant about it. its mainly the last 2 all in pots i played but yeah im running horrible this week and havnt booked a winning session the last 6 times i played. everyday i feel like i play good and then get beat but i always go back the next day refreshed right now im down 5300 so almost all my profit from last month is washed away. it pretty much sucks seeing a whole month go away the only good thing about this is its exactly what happend to me in vegas. right when i got to vegas i had a decent 1st month followed by a big 15 buy in upswing followed imediatley by an 11 buy in downswing. 11 buyins was my biggest downswing ive ever had live and im 200$ away from being there again. this is pretty much the doom swith i was waiting for the past couple months so once i get over this i should be ok unless varriance has a mega dowswing still on the horrizon so we'll find out. anyway i think in my last post i mentioned about playing pretty much value poker and not getting too crazy. well after this hand i played its drilled into my head that from now on untill i can dig myself out of this mess its pretty much only value poker and this is why.
utg limps, folds to cutoff who limps, and button limps. im in the BB with AKss and i raise to 40$ utg calls and the other 2 fold.
utg is an older guy who was pretty much a straightforward player but i seen him make some plays when the board was appropriate
flop comes 2 4 4 with one spade
i bet 60$ into a 90$ pot. he thinks for a little bit and raises it to 180$
i really dont see him raising dueces full here and a 4 is in his limping range but its super rare, so i pretty much put him on a range of medium pairs and figure if i shove i should be able to get him to fold and if he does call i still have about 30% equity. i shove my stack totaling 400$
he thinks for a while and eventually calls. i brick the turn and river and he shows 10 10. now that hand was just iritating. number one i felt the guy was really a compitent player and i havnt seen him do anything stupid. in my thaught process i even said to myself "this guy is compitent enough to know if i shove here then he is beat". the second thing that iritated me was the fact that he called my 3 bet allin. its like what the hell are you going to beat there, i dont ever have jj-aa? just so happens the 2% time i have AK he decideds to call.
now for the big steamer. so im a little on edge from that hand but not tilted. an orbit goes by and i have QQ in the hijack theres a couple limpers and i make it 30$ to go and theres 2 callers
flop comes A 10 6 rainbow. first player checks to me. i dont really like the ace and usually in this spot i might check because a lot of players play aces but i was really only concerend with the guy to my left and his range was pretty standard so i didnt see him having an ace that much so i bet 40$. guy to my left folds and the guy on my right calls. the turn is a 4. he checks and i check. river is a Q and he bets 80. i shove for a total of 400 and he calls showing kj for the straight. at that point i was tilted. i dont usually get tilted but this time i was and i knew i was. i played 1 more hand and got up and left
so thats my rant. i really hope the downswing isnt that much longer. although i do feel like everyday i play i am playing well and unafected by my results i just dont like being in the downswing (shocking). i dont know if i will be able to come out in profit this month. i hope i can and even if i end up a buyin up i will be fine with that. if i dont this will be my first losing month in the past i think 7 months of playing. also right now this is the most ive ever lost but i still feel good so my spirits are still high. if i lose 10k i will probablly puke and quit poker for a month. jk but possible anyways anyone who actually read it thanks, and thanks for reading my blog ill post again sunday and hopefully things will have improved. untill then , stay tuned cosmonauts
