Snipes, are these chronological? It looks like you're definitely steaming in some of the later ones. I'd recommend that you work on tightening up rather than loosening up when you're having a bad session, if you're playing worse hands (and probably not playing them as well as you should) then thats a recipe for a big loss. Though, I'm sure many of those hands had to do with megafish at your table. Like the kind who minreraises and then calls allin preflop with J5s... jesus.

In any case, hope your luck turns around. I'm thinking about playing all day on Sunday, ADHOC-style. You in?

DJ i am definetely in. I am so dispirited right now though. I stopped for like two hours. The got some red bulls and rallied the troops. Turned all chat off, 6 tabled playing as good as i possibly know how. Lose QQ to JJ preflop, get set over setted again. Miss two fd+sd ai hands. Get crushed by two pair hands on the river. All the while I am playing good and think that I am winning.

At this point I have two tables like 150bb and 200bb deep w/ a beautiful asian and I flop a set against honeydonk and am about to raise the turn whe my computer [censored] shuts down for some riduclous windows update. I am not even angry just don't have anything left. I check PT and now I am down 10k for the night. But I will not stop, I will not stop.

snipes, some of those hands are unlucky, some are, as you said, terribly played. dont try chasing your losses by trying to get as many big pots as you can, how you get all your chips in on a 99A7 board with KK is just so terrible its unreal. you reraised preflop $76 to flop overpair to the board or to take it down preflop. neither happened yet you still invested another $500 in the pot. that really sucks.

but hey, i never win these days.

i just played phil gordon HU on full tilt at 5/10 NL. he kicked my ass pretty good by bluffing at every pot and overbetting huge anytime i seemed weak.

i finally picked up two pair and picked off a big overbet all in and did another huge bluff myself to get even. seriously one of the most intense poker sessions i've had.

Hope your luck turns around, by the way!
