Took the ass end of it 4 times in 2 days.

WTF is going on out there?


All hands Prima NL$20


1) Set-Over-Set

Phish has $20
Foe has $12

Phish in MP2 w/ [4h], UTG fold, UTG+1 (foe) calls, 2 folds, MP1 calls, Phish calls, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks

Flop (1.00) [6h][Tc] Check, Check, UTG+1 bet .20, fold, Phish raise to 1.20, fold, fold, call and we're heads-up.

Turn (3.40) UTG+1 check, Phish bet 3.20, Call (I put him on a flush draw, but I'm too new to the table to really have a read)

River (9.80) UTG pushes 7.65, Phish calls

He had Ac Ah <-- white



2) Bluff me again, baby! Thank Yew!

Phish has $21
Foe has $19

Phish in MP1 w/ [Jd] UTG (foe) call, fold, fold, Phish raises to .80 (Table is very weak, I want to mix it up), folds around to UTG who calls and we're HU

Flop (1.90) [2d][8d] UTG bets 1.00, Phish calls (Not going to believe we both flopped a flush *and* he's got K or A high))

Turn (3.90) UTG bets 3.00, Phish (OK, maybe a set, but I'm still not believing it for some reason. PT calls him an ATM...) raises to 9.00 (let's find out), UTG calls

River (21.90) UTG pushes 7.89, Phish calls in an instant

He had As 6s <-- white



3) Too Aggressive?

Same table as #2, a few hands later

Phish has $40
Foe has $23

Phish in MP3 w/ [Qc], UTG fold, UTG+1 call, fold, call, call, Phish raises to 0.80, folds to BB (foe) who calls, UTG+1 call, rest fold

Flop (2.90) [9c][Tc] BB bets 0.80, UTG+1 folds, Phish (way underbet, I think he fears the flush, maybe he'll fold, probably should fold, but not getting almost 5-1. so... call or raise? well, duh! RAISE! how much? 3x his? then he may re-raise - PT calls him an risky player - let's put the decision to him) I push, he calls

Turn, River (47.00)

He had Jd 7d <--- white



I usually play NL$50 now, so this is somewhat lower than I'm used to. I don't have as much respect for $20 as I have for $50.

Thoughts on these?

Shit happens.

During my last losing streak I had so many of them I learned to lay them down when my reads are solid. i remembered laying down KKK to AAA and 888 to KKK. Both showed it to me because I was whining all the time and they felt empathy.

WTF!!!

Sorry you are through it.

It is tough to head back down to $20 now that I'm used to $50. I loved the $20s and made $12 per hour there at Prima, but when I tried to go back recently I lost money due to lack of patience.
