Beat: I am almost cried from poker this weekend.

[Otherside61]

I was wondering if poker has ever brought any of you to tears. Whether it be from winning or losing. I'm pretty sure that if I won some major poker title that I would probably cry. Anyway here's what went down.

Over the last couple of months I have been on my first "real" downswing. I more or less recovered from it and was proud of myself for being able to withstand a downswing without going busto.

Coming into this weekend, I was at my highest point profit-wise I have ever been playing poker until this weekend. I decided that this was going to be a poker weekend for me and I wanted to see how much I could come up grinding all weekend.

To make a long story short I spent the entire weekend getting sucked out on and losing my ass off. Things got to the very worst late saturday night/sunday morning. I decided to pull an all nighter in a casino for the first time in a couple of years.

I started my session at about 11:00 pm and I played for 3 hours when my table broke. I was completley card-dead the entire time and I leave the table up $13.00. I get to my new table and go on one the biggest rushes ever in terms of starting hands. I get about 15 top 10 starting hands in a 30 minute period and hit all of them. My stack grows from $400 to about $1500.00 during this time. I never really got paid off during this time, but I'm not complaining. The very last hand during the stretch was:

I pick up AK and raise to $60. I get one caller and flop my king. Villain goes all in for about $300 and I call. He went all in with a gutshot and caught runner runner flush. Not really a big deal. I then proceed to donk off about $400 a few hands later.

Then everything went to hell.

I'm sitting on a stack of about $900.00 and I pick up K-7 in the small blind. The whole table limps in and I complete for the family pot.

Flop: 7 7 K

It checks around and the turn is a 10.

I check again and there is a bet of $40 and 3 callers including myself.

The river is an A which was the card I wanted to see on the river because people do stupid things with Aces in live games.

The board now reads 7 7 K 10 A and same guy bets $100. The other two fold and I raise him to $200. He goes all-in and I insta-call.

I flip over my K-7 and he shows extreme disappointment and slams his cards to the felt face up. I'm feeling great as I'm now up $1500 on the night and have made almost all the money that I had lost prior to this session. The dealer says "Tens full" and I see pocket 10's. My opponent says, oh I won and rakes in an almost $2000.00 pot. I'm beside myself and don't say a word for five minutes. I decide to buy back in again as I figure that I'm already in too deep.

About 30 minutes later I'm sitting on a stack of about $500 and this hand goes down.

I pick up 99 and me and another player call a raise.

Flop A A 9.

The first player to act goes all in immediately and the player who raises calls immediately. I put both players on Aces and call. The one guy who pushed says 4 4 4 4.

The river ends up being a 4 and he flips over A 4. The other player shows Q Q and I show my 99 and lose a $1500 main pot. I go home feeling the worst I've ever felt after a poker session and I almost cried. I told myself that I shouldn't come back for a really long time, but I ended up back the next day.

The very first hand the next day I picked up J J and at this point I'm seeing monsters under the bed. I raise to $40 and get reraised to $140 by the UTG limper. I say "why are we doing this already" and I call immediately. The board comes 7 7 5 with two clubs and the raiser immediately goes all in. I go in the tank for about 5 minutes and have no idea what to do. I decide to fold as I don't feel like getting cleaned out my first hand. I show my jacks and the raiser shows pocket deuces. To make a long story short, I called a bluff by the same guy in a $800 pot and came up $900 for the session so that put a small band-aid on my wounds.

Beat: I obviously suck at poker so flame away. Yes I know thats what I get for playing K-7 out of position.

Beat: If hands like the ones I shared didn't happen so damn often, I'd be playing for a living and wouldn't be waking up at the crack of dawn to go to a [censored] job.

Brag: There are no brags.

Has anyone ever been brought to tears from poker?

Playing K7 out of position when getting 20 to 1 on your call isn't the problem...ITS NOT BETTING THE FLOP IN A FRIGING 10 WAY POT WHEN YOU FLOP THE SECOND NUTS. This hand almost brought ME to tears, jebus.

i usually cry while playing because i'm so [censored] bored

[Karak567]

Not to make it tougher on you but you played that K7 hand miserably.
