Several good sessions over past few days, then back to Party.

9 buy-ins later...

I decided to see where the problems were, so I ran the "hand groupings" report.

Pocket AA I had 4 times in 1300 hands.
Result:
Won 3 / 4.
Winnings 1bb on two of them, 7.5 bb on one of them, and -100 bb on the 4th.

Next?
Big pairs (JJ-KK) 18 times / 1300
Wins: 14 x for 135 bb avg 9 bb/hand
Losses: 4 x for 215 bb avg 54 bb/hand
Could have been worse. I managed to fold kings once and queens once post flop.

A category where I normally make piles of coinage is low-mid pairs.
Today?
out of 32 hands, I did not hit my set even once -- except that on one occasion I flopped a boat I won 8 bb that time.

The absolute worst category was AJ-AK.
Same pattern: Win little, lose big.

Yucky.

This is the worst single session I've had on Party.
Now that it is behind me, the time I go down 4 BI it won't seem so bad.

Time for some alcohol.

No need to post. I do this for me. Writing out my thoughts and such helps me understand it.

30$ Poker bankroll ruined by varince :) I am so lucky really, I got aces and lose 4$ make set on the flop, full house on the turn the other guy have higher full house, of course I got flush and he will have higher flush, QQ VS KK, KK VS AA
Straight vs higher straight, trips versus trips with better kicker variance make me lose 1-0 I will take my revenge soon!

30 USD bankroll and a loss for 4 USD, are you playing NL5 with that bankroll?

Hey SherlockHolmes2ez :)

sorry to hear you are running bad! i hope it turns around for you. a lot of "variance" at stakes like nl2 is also a lot down to new players having many leaks which cost lots of bb too, and part of limiting the variance is to study and work on your game. so the only thing to do is to shrug off the truly bad beats and never stop working at your game :)

good luck!
Lewis.
