Live kick in the nuts

Not so much poker in the past couple days, I'm falling so far behind on my 1K hands per day, I don't really care though, I will plug away later today perhaps, but I haven't played much online in the past 3 days except for 2 uncessful donkaments on Pstars last night.


Wednesday was our weekly game of .50c/$1.00 NL40.

The session started out horribly, I made a questionable laydown.

Dealt to hero: 10-2o
Blinds are .50c/$1.00 MP1 ($35) calls, CO ($45) calls, Button (65$) calls, HERO SB ($38) call BB checks.

FLOP: 10-8-4r, pot $5

Hero bet $3, MP1 calls, Button calls.

TURN: 10, pot $11
Hero bets $6, MP1 folds, button raise to $12, hero calls

River: Q, pot $35
Hero ($22) check, button goes all-in, I fold :(

Maybe a bad laydown, he didn't show me despite my pleas, so I'll never know.


I didn't re-load after this hand, but maybe 2-3 hands later I knocked out a shorter stack to get up around 45.

Lame-ass bad beat:

Dealt to me: QJ in the BB

Preflop: EP1 calls, MP1 calls, button calls, SB calls, I check, $5 pot

Flop: Q-J-7

SB checks, I made a weak $2.50 hoping that someone goes over the top. EP1 goes all-in for another $25 or so, it folds to me and I call, pot is around $55-60 and I've got about 20$ left

EP1 shows J-9

Turn: 10
River: 8

Boooo

After that I re-loaded and went on a tear busting people all over the place, cashed out for $150.

Next day I played in a $50.00 donkament at sketchy.bar and literally didn't win a hand except taking the blinds once with AKo.

I made a check-raise against a short-stack who was playing 90% of pots and he went all in, I had 7-4o (nothing) and had to fold.

I had about 2K chips, blinds were 100-200 and picked up 99 on the button, chipleader raised to 450 and I pushed. SB calls and chipleader calls.

SB shows KK
Chipleader shows AA

flop K-Q-J
Turn 9
River 10

errrr live poker is rigged - especially when I'm the dealer : /


I set-mined for like 2-3 hours in the insane 1/2 game they had going, I grabbed someone's $40 stack early on with a set of JJs and then didn't win a hand for the rest of the night.

I think I was down about $115 for the day.

NOT so much of a great way to start off the month.

Tonight - online donk'n'gos on Absolute and maybe some .05c/.10c 6-max grindstationing.

Tuesday I vow to destroy the tournament at sketchy.bar.
