He was referring to Jam. Typically I wouldn't mind being his protege, but this time I won't follow his lead.

Hmmm. No, I seriously wasn't referring to Jam and was just joking with you. I know he posted a hand from way up there, but I don't know the backstory.

OMG, I've entered the Spiral of Death!!!!
It goes something like this for those unfamiliar:

1. Run bad a day or two, recoupe and try to play well.

2.Play well for a while, outplay a lag or tag regular that tried to outplay you, but get sucked out on on the river for stacks.

3. Berate the player, steam some. Play back at them when they have a legitimate hand.

4. Tell yourself you're an ass and that you're going to play basic good poker.

5. Enter automatic mode. Play hands for their absolute value rather than the table (commit to stacking off with Aces, raising your regular range with a decent floater giving you a hard tiem).

6. Become weak-tight.

7 start limping, playing more hands and check folding when you miss.

8. move down to regain confidence, play well then repeat cycle.

Suggestions to leave the cycle?

This is what the spiral of death looks like. This is this the past week.

No reads, but this was last in a sequence of AKs, QQ, AKs.

First AKs, UTG raised pf and I reraised; we split at showdown.
QQ I raised and took it down pf, not shown.
Now this one I'm raising again and he may be getting a little tired or suspicious of me.

I don't usually play TPTK for my stack, but the pot got big quick.

With my first flop call I had notions of playing things small, but that went right out the window when BB raised. Still, with the pot size and the potential for both villains to be on draws, I thought it was worth seeing the turn...

2 satisfying hands vs same villian. I keep getting real hands when villian is in the blinds. This makes 4 orbits in a row where he's called me each time.

H1- I CB, he folds.
H2- I CB, he calls. He leads the turn, I fold.
