10/25 Borgata, bluffed out for 6k :( :(

[BNelley24]

10/25 Borgata, some regulars and some crazies. Me = in between.

I have around 5k behind.

I'm dealt AdAc in the SB

UTG limps, 2 other callers. I raise to 175. (maybe not enough for this table, but nonetheless....

BB (50k behind) calls, utg calls.

Flop Qd 7h 7d

I was thinking about check raising flop, but decided to lead out for 400.
- BB folds
- UTG calls. (this has me worried about QQ or a 7 connector obv), maybe KK.

Turn is a brick 8c

(BOARD Qd 7d 7h, 8c)

I bet out 1000, utg shoves for 3k more.

At the time I put the bastard on 6-7 or 8-8. QQ calls.

I folded.

He turns up 99. I can't stop thinking about this hand today. Looking back I should have just check/called the turn and river (unless A came)...Any other advice?

"I have played poker for 5 years. Up until May of this year it was just for fun once in a while. Once May came around I started heading down to Atlantic City each weekend. Every weekend it seemed like I was making hundreds at the 1-2 game. I had won a few tournaments as well.

Fast forward to this past July. I entered the nightly 100K on Pokerstars and got first for around 28K. This was the bankroll boost that I needed. Since then I moved up in games. I won a few more thousand playing 2-5, 5-10, even some 10-20. I was pushing a 45K roll this past Sunday. Then all hell broke lose. I sat in 10-20 Monday and in 2 hours I lost 6 thousand dollars. 3 of them all in preflop with AA againt 99. Obviously, this happens and it didn't piss me off that much, but then something happened, I kept losing. I was playing scared money, and we all know scared = dead. Yesterday I deposited 2k and played some 5-10. I went up a quick 1100 in my morning session. That night I got greedy again and played some 10-20. I ended up going broke in a timespan of an hour. I was sick. I had just lost 8K in 2 days. Last night my friend staked me to play in the nightly hundred K. I finished in the money for a $200 dollar net win. Nothing special. The thing that sucks is that I lost another race with a PP against AQ.

I just deposited 500 into my account. I'm going to move back down to 3-6 and get my game back. I've never had a bad swing like this, and need some advice on how to handle it psychologically. Thanks guys."



i'm gonna give you some serious advice: stop playing this high, you're not good enough. the only game you've had any experience of beating is live 1-2, and now you jump into 10-25? (not to mention also playing 10-20 online, which is way tougher than live 10-25.) furthermore, your bankroll is too small. bottom line, quit playing these stakes, go down to 2-5 and make sure you can beat that first. or keep playing 10-25 if you feel like busting your 30k roll or whatever it is.

[BNelley24]

You guys misunderstood me. I did not have him on QQ because obviously QQ would most almost always call the turn bet.

By the way, I finished up 3 thou for the session, but it could have been a lot more because of this one hand.

Mikech, I agree. I was way over my head. I am a great 2/5 and even 5/10 player live, 10-25 was definately pushing it. It was a one time thing. I do find that playing that game helped my game as I was forced to think more, but it is not something I will do again unless my roll gets over 100k.

Having a bankroll of to play 5/10 and being good enough are 2 different things.

There are two types of players are that game:
1. The guy that beat 1/2 for a significant sample (ie months), then beat 2/4 over many months, then 3/6 for months. Learning at each stage. They had to prove they were good enough to beat each level before moving up. They won all the money they use for their bankroll in the game at the previous level. They didn't just luckbox it in a totally different game (and a tournament is nothing like a cash game at all - nothing)
2. People who have lots of money. These people are fish in a bowl just waiting to get eaten by the local shark because they didn't learn at each level and are missing a vast amount of knowledge. Sit there long enough and you will be lose. Then lose more. Keep losing. Result: Bust over and over and keep depositing and keep busting.


Guess which one you are.

Sorry to be direct, but you need to some harsh reality or you will have no money. I suspect like most people you will ignore this and go bust. Hope you think about it and move down. Good luck.
