I hope this doesn't end up being a bad beat post. It isn't meant that way.

I'm running cold today. Real cold. I hope this is just variance and not tilt.

All opinions welcome.

Hand #1

Blinds are going to whipe me out if I don't do something fast.

Looked like a standard blind steal attempt from the button. Not the first time we had seen this.


Hand #2

Level 4 and I don't like my stack size again. OESD on the flop.

I'm just waiting for the opportunity to steal and along comes an OESD that I got to see for free. I think slow playing cowboys was incorrect on his part.

Hand #3

Level 6 and Bubble. QJs? Anytime.

Bad timing?

Hand #4

Looks like I may actually make some chips with this one. Oh wait, what's that on the river?

4BB preflop should drive out most. (OK, its the 20's). King on the flop, I'd like some action from that. Pocket cowboys probably would have raised me. 1/2 pot bet to get the call. Thoughts?

Hand #5

Only level 3, but I just got beat down to a short stack.

What else could I have done with JJ? Had to call it.



My question is, since I've been running cold today, does any of this look like I'm tilting?

Nope. You appear to have caught cold, it's been happening to me the last two days too. They are all standard, you can make arguments for the QJo being a check-raise or something, but it seems fine.

There isn't much wrong with these hands. Losing coinflips and running into big pairs happen.
