Running bad sucks

Typical whine post regarding standard bad beats and running like a legless pregnant turtle. The shit thing about running badly is that you lose some confidence or get slightly annoyed which obviously affects the rest of your game in an adverse way and can lead to a snowball effect.

I played a mix of £200, $500, $600, $1000 today and ended up down just under 1k, it could have been a lot worse. At the start I wasn't feeling very confident and I think it showed a bit in my play and of course when the bad beats kicked in things looked pretty bleak but I think I'm experienced enough and mentally solid enough to keep plugging away without letting that stuff affect me too much. I think at one stage I was down about 3k but I had a good end to the day (2 sessions total) so things don't look too bad. I started off playing 6 tables including 1 HU but by the end of the day I was playing 4 - a fairly simple adjustment but I think its something that people dont do enough when they aren't playing or running badly (ie probably on tilt - nothing to do with "run well = 99 tables vs run bad = 1 table"). I'm not too worried about losing today, I know I made some mistakes but the majority of my losses were bad beats or coolers.

I dont have the time to go through my hands too much so I'll pick the ones with the biggest pot size, not in order.

A nice one to start off with, I had been dominating the table for a bit and obviously you almost never expect me to pop up with an 8 there which is why he was trying to pull off an elaborate bluff or thought his A high was good on the turn.

I played this guy HU twice during the day and I ended up losing money to him both times but I am definitely the better player and he just kept getting lucky on me. The trend of the match would go something like I grind him down for ages (he plays too tight) then he coolers/sucks out on me for a big pot, I grind down again etc.

The key here is sizing the turn bet so I can shove the river with around a pot sized bet.

Just one of those days.

Tilt in progress, betting the river is ok - I think I bet a little too much though - but obviously it is a certain fold to his shove.

Standard - gotta love my opps hand though.

Semi-mistake on the river, I knew this guy didn't give me much credit for a hand in general so I should have shoved since I'm sure he would call me with a T or overpair. Check/calling was a bit silly but I just had a feeling I was beat at this moment and so curled up and crying check called instead of thinking about the bigger picture.

This hand is fairly interesting and I haven't quite made my mind up about it. Starting PF I am fairly sure he doesnt have a big hand since he 3bet me small, the flop is pretty standard. The turn is the tricky part, I have two options either bet or check, I tend to alternate between the two roughly 50/50 while also taking into account the board, my player, my image. In this case if I bet the turn it doesnt let him draw to overs and enables him to checkraise bluff (as well as c/r for value), if I check it lets him draw and possibly entices a bet on the river but thats unlikely since my opp should realise that if I have draws he is ahead anyway and if I have a pair I'm not folding. So I decide to bet and call a c/r since it I will have odds to call given the % of time he is bluffing or has a FD+overs. My opponent actually played this hand quite well on the turn given that he hit his card but I think he does the same sometimes when he doesnt hit so hopefully my play isn't too bad.

Dual C/R FTW.

At the time it felt like I played this badly (it was early on in the day) but I don't think its actually that bad.

Pretty standard HU hand.

Aww crap.

That will do for now I think. I'm going to my parents' tomorrow for the weekend so I (probably) won't play (much).

Good luck at the tables guys.
