All "bad days" are hard to take. Blah blah. No problem. Standard.

But I find there is one particular kind of "bad day" that is more soul-destroying than the others.

They are the days when ALL the smallball stuff goes

wrong all day: cbets are always called when you want a fold, all 3bs go wrong (somehow), floats whiff, you raise flop donks and get 3b instead of a fold, pfraises always end up multiway and you have to give up the pot without a fight post etc etc.

I find these "smallball" days tougher to handle than "bad beat" days because:

1. They make you question such fundamental things as cbets and other basic building-blocks of Unlimited Texas Poker.
2. In session review, you can't find all the BI's you lost...just loads of $10 - $20 pots (@50NL) that are things like 3b/cb gone wrong. Nothing necessarily "wrong" in your play, just totally meh.

im not sure if that is the kind of day i had. i lost 3 or 4 big pots, strangly enough all on the same friggen table. there were still a lot of the little losses because yes, i'd get AK to a bunch of limpers and raise to have 2-3 people call and then whiff. i would then either be check/minraised or donk pushed. lots of little .60-1.20 losses cause of those spots.
