So I'm working on a 2600 hand 135bb downswing right now, which thankfully has been mitigated by a tourney money finish and some bonuses. At about 50bb I bought SSHE (I know, I know) and studied it, and I am continuing to study it. Started combing my PT results at about 100bb. Found myself playing too many unsuited broadways in bad position and cold calling too much. Simple variance is also playing a factor - during my streak I've had JJ 18 times, won with it once, and that was just a blind steal. I was running stupidly hot in the previous 2500 hands, so it was bound to catch up. Anyway, since my slide has continued, I've decided to finally post a hand:
Table was about 33/3, no real read on villian but through 10 hands he's around 25/10, so he's certainly no maniac
Ultimate Bet 0.50/1 Hold'em (6 handed)
converter
Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">
3 folds</font>, SB completes, BB calls.
I'm not entirely sure I should be raising PF with this from UTG at a table like this...this is definitely one of my problems, unsuited broadway in early position.
Flop: (2.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB 3-bets, BB folds, Hero calls.
I don't think I should be capping here. Sure seems like two pair. Then again he might be pumping a flush draw...
Turn: (3.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero ???
Ok, if I believe my read on the flop I'm either drawing extremely slim or dead. Should I call down here? hand converter messed up so those pot sizes are off...it's 6.5BB at the turn.
