$7 - 9man - AKo- ITM - postflop

Why, cuz he sucked out on you? Nooo, it was a good decision to just flat the flop on his c min raise. U didn't give him a free card, he actually wanted to price you for it, so instead of calling 480, he made it even better for you.

Flop is dry. Khigh. If I put him on a bluffing range here(not just value) or I've seen him doing this with mid pairs, the flat is even better.

As played-call any turn, if he checks, bet any turn.

Hi,

I guess I just start thinking so negative because in the last 2 weeks I suffered a lot of badbeats and lost almost 100 BI`s, and I just want to be sure that this is not because my poor play. In this hand villain showed KJ and won the pot. Thanks for your analysis.

Listen, bro-regardless, whether we get it on flop(cuz there is no way he is 2bet/folding KJ there) or on the turn, the outcome, the result would be the same. We still lose the hand. But, he hits his jack 6% of the time on the T, same applies to all his other Kx. If we are positive that he just re-raises with Kx for value, sure enough we can get it in on the flop, but that's not the case and I am sure.

As for the downswing, it's what builds up a player. Everybody enjoys poker when he wins, those who survive through the downswing and continue playing/improving, are the ones who turn to be poker pros at the end. If u get through this(which you should with the right mindset and work behind it), it's gonna make u stronger, less emotional-which is good for when u play poker not just for recreation, but to profit ITLR. Less emotions come with a clearer mind, sharper brain, which is being a better professional, isn't it? That's the goal at the end!

Hi,

Thanks for detailed analysis as well as for the encouragement. They are really a boost for my confidence
