The Well: Whale

[evagaba]

How do you handle multiple bad beats in one session? Is there any point in which you quit or do you stay if the game is good?

Let me give you a specific example.

Not too long ago, I was playing .25/.50. I had just moved up from $25NL about a week prior, Well, there was a guy sitting at my table playing Any Two Cards and he was hitting. He sat down with $50 and tripled up in less than 10 minutes. He played 4To UTG and the flop came 44T, stacking his opponent. I watched this for several orbits, planning and plotting. I was on this immediate left. Ideal I think.

Finally, AA in the BB. Everyone folds to him and he raises like an insane 10BB. I go over the top all in and he insta-calls with JTos and of course flops 2 pair and stacks me.

I reload and a bit later get A3h on the button. 3 limpers including HIM. I limp. Flop is A34. SB bets pot, 2 folds, HE raises. I again go over the top all-in with my 2 pair that I know is good. SB folds, but He again insta-calls with 35os and rivers a 2 hitting his gut shot and stacking me again.

Phase 3: Reload again, and get KK. I get all-in again PF and HE calls with A7os and spikes an A.

This happened 2 more times, losing a total of 5 buy-ins ALL bad beats against a total DONK. I never got my money in less that 3 to 1 fav and lost each time.

When do you say when here?
