December Low-Content Thread

so last day of november i lose 14k or whatever in another failed attempt at high stakes online poker. i swear to god i am like a lifetime -7bb/100 loser at 100/200. this capped off yet ANOTHER month where i win like 150+bb and end up actually down $$$ for the month. i wish i had all my data and i could graph it but if there was two graphs, one being bb's, it'd be a steady climb up, but change it to $$$ it'd have crazy spikes going up and down and usually ending right back at the x-axis or below it. it's hilarious to see they're both my graphs.

anyways, pissed off from last night's bitter session, i went to the casino for the first time in forever. brought 2k with me, i was down to my last $50, made a pretty amazing comeback and was actually up a couple hundred bucks. i contemplated leaving then but i was like, wtf i didn't drive all this way to not win big, so i kept playing and 20 minutes later i was busto and driving home. oh, this is blackjack btw, looool, who goes all the way to an indian casino to play poker?

sweet electrical jesus that was brutal. i was going to try to play like 3k hands or so today and see if i had it in me. apparently i dont as i quit after 800. bloodbathed for a little over 4 buyins. for once the biggest pot i lost was total tilt/frustration shoving into the nuts instead of randomly getting coolered. i reserved that special place for the 2nd biggest pot i lost which i think i should have probably gotten away from anyway bc everyone in these games is a nit.

the good news is im able to pay attention to the action on 6 tables a lot better than i thought i would be able to.

i think 23% wtsd/26% w$sd is probably not good

heres the hand in question i think i should have folded. i would have shoved river if it blanked off and he checked but im guessing he was shoving any river, so im really happy i managed to make a straight instead of missing:

Yeah, that's pretty close in these games. The problem is that very few psychologies admit of playing a bare 8 like that.

Are you c-betting too much, esp. in multiway pots?

[HOWMANY]

no i check behind a lot. my main problem is more that once i start betting i dont stop until i have shoved the river. actually its more like i either cbet flop c/f turn or bet bet bet. the guy in that hand was pretty retarded so my thought process was that he could have a lot of random sooted 8s that hed shove, T9 he slowplayed, KcXc or something. i can honestly say i did not expect to see QQ.
