Downswing Baby
Lost $116 yesterday on absolute. Tilted for about an hour, didnt really cost me. What did cost me were 4 big pots that just sucked. Really bad play in a couple of cases, by me being on tilt and not being aggressivr enough. I lost one to a flush draw which just baffeled me (i knew he'd bluff the turn no matter what, so i slowplayed the flop)
I'll post them at the end. I've not had a big downswing like this before (and it was worse at one point). I'd managed to go from $130 down, to $20 down, then back to finally at $116 down.
Maybe my experiment with the girl name isnt paying off. I called away around $80 in stupid calls where i felt beat, so if I could get rid of this and have won one of the big pots i would be up.
I also got next to no action on any of my big hands, which i find interesting. Means I must be winning at least my fair share of small pots.
Last week was $50 down on poker, and also STTs aren't going well. So all in all a downswing. Funny I actually went on a tear in LHE where every one of my big hands held up (pretty much) and i went on like a 25BB tear.
BJ for $58, but i think i am finally over it all.
Spent like around £125-£150 this week. In the midst of my biggest downswing ever too! I'll get over it. Gonna chill and stuff. Sort out my uni work, of which a lot is due this week. Sort out my uni apps, and generally catch up on waht i've been missing.
Canadian Dave is around, so he's bumming for another night. He's sleeping at some girls house tomorrow and leaving on thursday.
The HH below are just a rant. I've analysed them and rated myself at 2/10 for them. It's pretty unlucky for me not to pick any of them up, I have myself to blame there, and really 2 pair is an easy fold for me.
However on the run I'd had its tough to dodge bullets, but when on a burner I'd have won every single one of the below hands and be posting about how much a poker god i am.
