Not chronological order, but they all happened between 12AM and 8AM tonight. And I only sucked out twice.. =(

There were more hands, but these were the most annoying, since they happened in like 2 hrs, the whole bunch of 'em.

Let me know if I misplayed a hand(I fail to see how you can misplay KK and AA tho..:P)

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

cheer up ya old bugger

i thought i had a bad day on monday i think it was, but not as bad as that.

did you walk under a ladder, crack a mirror or something like that to have that amount of bad luck.

cant say i would have played anything that much differently.

hope your luck changes for the better, and soon!!

Because we all go through it :). But yeah I can relate. Just one hand of my bad night:

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG Hero ($50.44)
CO Miker74 ($62.38)
BTN raynoom ($42.79)
SB milburn42 ($53.14)
BB TiltyMcgee ($120.05)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 5 players) Hero is UTG 2♠ 2♦
Hero raises to $2, Miker74 calls $2, raynoom raises to $3.50, milburn42 calls $3.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.50, Miker74 calls $1.50

Flop: 2♣ J♦ A♣ ($14.50, 4 players)
milburn42 checks, Hero checks, Miker74 bets $7.25, raynoom calls $7.25, milburn42 folds, Hero raises to $20, Miker74 calls $12.75, raynoom raises to $39.29, Hero raises to $46.94, Miker74 calls $26.94

Turn: 8♣ ($147.67, 3 players)

River: T♦ ($147.67, 3 players)

Final Pot: $147.67
Hero shows: 2♠ 2♦
Miker74 shows: 4♣ J♣
raynoom shows: 3♦ A♠

Miker74 wins $146.17 ( won +$95.73 )
milburn42 lost -$3.50
Hero lost -$50.44
raynoom lost -$42.79

It can be pretty brutal sometimes

I play on GGpoker even though it says Pokerstars. None of my hand histories will have villain stats.

This ALWAYS makes me want to nail myself to a cross and do the can can. Of course I can only ever nail in one hand... :f_biggrin:

"...and then I was like "?", and they were like "..." and then it all came down to the cheese making method. Needless to say

bugger of a session...can commiserate, having something similar at the moment.

every pocket gets called by higher pocket, AK unimproved and have to lay down, AK with K high flop, calling station has KK..

just keep your head up and keep plugging away, has to improve at some point

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

The strange thing about that night was that - even with all those hands - I still came out on top with about 2BI ;D

I'm now at $210 12-tabling NL25 4-5hrs a day, running at around 9BB/100 on average! So I'm pretty stoked, while still fearing the infamous 'downswing' *shiver*.

sounds like you are doing great ♦

I am doing great, apart from the 1300 hands I played today with only $10 winnings =(

I have 4.6k hands in elephant on NL25 as of today, plus those 2,5k hands from when I used PT3. So in total like 7k hands or so on NL25; and I've made about $150 on NL25 in 7k hands. (also cashed in a couple MTTs and some SnGs). Withdrew my BR at ftp of $150 today, also from NL25 SSS grinding.

ON A QUEST FOR $300 AND NL50!!!!!! When/if I reach this goal, I'll probably start my blog. Already have a name for it! -> Fish'n'Chips(and ninjas!!!)

=D

9bb/100 hands is insane winning rate for SSS, dude. If you can keep it above 4 you're the star.

Keep it up!

Cool, I won't get too carried away and think I can keep this rate up then : )

Good you said smtn, or I could be a bit disappointed if I start to flat out @ 3-4BB/100 ;P

Actually hand #2 and #5 are the one's that are well played. I had reads on them, they were raising EVERY time someone limped. So I limped and 3-bet shoved all-in.

But yeah, shouldn't limp, in sss, ever, unless you have a read, that tells you, that he's gonna, raise, 90% sure, you can limp, iz oki, afaik, *nod self*. Ok I'm done. :f_confused:
