Uber loose-passive 20. I limp UTG w/ 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 orbits earlier I'd limped w/ AA and dodged all the bullets).

7 see a flop of:

A-7-6r (1[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]) I check, EP bets, everybody calls, I raise, everybody calls.

Turn:

3, no flush possible and la de da de da..........

After raking in the big pot I get told off for having c/r w/ nothing. la de da de da........

Isn't it nice when good plays are also good image plays?

Thanks, Nate. I'm well along in my quest to changing my image from TAG to 'I'm having a hard time putting him on a hand and I don't like that he's in the pot'. Even though there are a number of 'newish' players I think I've got to make this change (or at least soften up my prior image). I've always been a 'gear changer' and now it's working better.

Boy, I'm so tempted to toss in another la de...... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

No kidding! Well, that's the best of both worlds, isn't it? Silly me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

just played an online hu session where I was bathing myself in sklansky dollars followed by tilting off the rest of it once I relized just how much I should have been up.

boy do I hate myself right now

[Vehn]

hmm yes

22 hour session.

at one point stuck 5 racks (30/60)

clawed back to -1.5 and hit the wall so to speak, stopped making sense and was going a little crazy. amazingly I played my B+ game the entire time, really did well, pretty happy about that. wish I got all the way unstuck, would have been epic. but oh well.

I have to relate this crazyness.

I am in seat 3. seat 5 is this crazy old mexican guy, like 90/10. I raise two black aces utg he calls and tilts his hand so the 4 seat can see it. I clearly see the Qh and another red card. donkey in bb calls. flop A 6 3, 1 heart, checked around. turn 9h, donkey bets like I figured I raise, s5 calls 2 cold. donkey folds. river Th. I check, he bets, I just laugh and say ugh I saw your hand you know, and fold face up cause yeah.

He tables Qh Td.

I'm down 115 big bets over my last 24.5 hours at CAZ 20.
Is this a standard downswing for such a retarded game?

Seriously

[cowboy billy]

winning player in my 15-30 game lost 100+ bb in under 6 hours a couple days ago, but he's very laggy and his luck was very bad

115 bb downswing sucks, but it really is nothing

I lost 100 bets in a full passive 20 game a couple weeks ago in like a 12-15 hour session. It was actually pretty easy.

I decide to give Hawaiian Gardens a try last night. My first time there. I get my ass kicked.

The suckouts are so noticeable that the table is nice enough to start keeping track of how many times I lose on the river.

A guy calls down with 22, hits a 2 on the river and says, "You've been losing every pot on the river. I knew a deuce was coming!"

Things are going smashingly well today. Playing both 30 Stud 8 games on Stars right now, with both games being filled with retards aside from a couple solid players. So far I'm setting a new record for most bets lost in a Stud 8 session. I've won 1 pot over 5 bets so far and jammed plenty of huge ones where I am in good shape for both parts only to see none of it come my way. Here we go, as I type I trap one of the tight players. And by that I mean me. I took a big gamble with buried Aces against a juicy raggedy A48r. How could I possibly have a shot. There was still 1 Ace left in the deck, how could he possibly not catch it in conjunction with a 4 while also giving me worse Aces up? I'm sure he had to be an 80%-1 overdog against me in that situation. BTW please don't tell me to fold 5th because I don't care. Once I play it weird on 3rd by limping I have to show it down.

I'm done for the day. Total damage appears to be roughly 4k. Very impressive. -24bb/100 over 300 hands. I hope that is sustainable. Almost every time I play online I ask myself why, even when I win. Live whether I win or lose really isn't a big deal. Winning means nothing and losing is only mildly frustrating, but right now I would really enjoy murdering someone, while if I won I would probably only want to send them to the emergency room so surfdoc could fix them before I beat them to the edge of death again after my next online session.

This week started out with me winning 5 and 2 on Weds/Thurs. Now these past two enjoyable nights I have lost 5/4. I guess I am still winner for the week if I count Monday's Commerce.
