Raindrops Keep Falling On my HeadPosted Feb 01, 2012 at 6:27 AM |
Had another bad day yesterday and didn't stick to my plan. I vowed to play only HU for a week and I broke that plan on Sunday night as I played some 15-30 and 20-40 (cause there was a huge donk in game) and booked a nice 1200 win. So I wake yesterday and get back to the plan. Only heads games right? Well I won about 300 in the first hr of play and it took me a lot longer to exterminate my opponents as I would have liked. One guy must have made trips 15 times but in the end I got the money so I was happy.
Then I see a 15-30 6 max game going with a huge donk so I joined. I lost the first 3 hands I played which all went to showdown and 2 of them were absurd beats. Then it was all downhill from there. I gave a few bets away with a few spewy plays but the majority of the time I was usually ahead when the majority of the money went in and by the time the hand was finished I was the one exterminated. One hand that sticks out to me was where I opend KQss utg. and the cut 3bets and SB caps(huge donk). SB leads on KQX flop and I raise and he 3bets and I 4 bet. Turn is jack and he leads I raise and he 3 bets and I just call. River is an ace and he leads and I make a crying call and he rolls over k10 sigh.
I feel like a guy who is robbing a bank and gets in a shootout with the cops. I have full body armor on but they find some magic way to penetrate it. That scenario in that hand happened about 10 times yesterday. I think I won 1 pot with aces, lost 2 showdowns then the other 3 times I had AA everyone folded. Got RR 4 flushed by crap countless times etc.
It has been a neverending cycle for about a month now. I run up 1500-3k in a session and then take horrific beats and give it back. I am playing in great games and getting the best seats most of the time but it just doesn't matter. But sooner or later they are going to give it all back and I will be on my high horse. I feel a 10-20k run about to come. Iv'e been through this before and it is no fun so I can't wait to start having fun again. Today I am sitting only heads up and so far so good. I won 9 bets my first match and it feels good even though it was only 50 bucks. Any little win I can book will help get me going in the right direction.
Be back tomorrow with some updates
