My SH game took a big down over the weekend with a lot of bad suck-outs. It just got worse after starting with a few hundred hands of SSS then switching to SH when this happened:
$0.05/$0.1 No Limit Holdem
6 players
Stacks:
UTG Hero ($21.85)
SB Mr666theDevil ($10.50)
Pre-flop: ($0.15, 6 players) Hero is UTG A♥ A♦
Hero raises to $0.40, 3 folds, Mr666theDevil calls $0.35, 1 fold
Flop: 8♠ 5♠ 6♦ ($0.90, 2 players)
Mr666theDevil checks, Hero bets $0.60, Mr666theDevil raises to $1.20, Hero goes all-in $21.45, Mr666theDevil calls $8.90
I massively overbet but he only has 9$ left and my reraise would be almost half his stack. I don't like the flush possibilities and haven't had much luck with AA lately. Hopefully just take down the pot from the aggro player now
Turn: 7♦ River: 2♥
Final Pot: $21.10
Mr666theDevil shows: K♦ 9♠
Hero shows: A♥ A♦
Mr666theDevil wins $19.10 ( won +$8.60 )
Hero wins $11.35 ( lost -$10.50 )
Ok - it's the weekend, I guess my overbet might have looked like a big bluff.. actually I didn't really mind the call, usually I'd win that one.
Next:

Hero wins $4.55 ( lost -$0.10 )
So we talk a bit about how we're glad it's not a bad beat, and someone says I haven't played enough poker if I haven't been beaten AA to AA...well now I have. A few hands later.

I must admit I took it pretty well.. I only managed to donk off another 30-40$, or most of my stack for that limit.

We both lose 1$ to the large rake at this limit. I'm demoralized but I'll still keep trying. I've got a few buyins with SNG's left but not enough to get back. I'm down to about 25$ - even with winning some SNG's it was a tough road down. Those FPP's look kinda good about now.
