A familiar conundrum, I\'m sure...
I'm sure we've all been in games in which one player gets slapped upside the head with cards and simply cannot be beat on certain night.
I found myself playing at the same table as "the blessed one" in a .50/1 cash game ($20 buyin) In the course of 6 hands, I lose a nut flush to her straight, a nut straight to her boat and trips to another boat by her. Suffice to say I was quickly down 2 plus buyins by this point. The obvious tilt ensued in which I caught myself playing q7off and 56o, and other such trash. hands I rarely play. She continued to be lucky for most of the night before losing most of her stack to someone after I left. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to play in these instances. Is it best to go into a shell and fold, fold, fold. Try and continue to play your normal "tag" game or is surrender simply the better part of valor. Not a bad beat story per se, just looking for better ways to handle a situation that doesn't occur all that often, but tends to cost me a ton when it does. |

You are falling into the irrational trap of thinking that past hands have influence on future ones. Read my "Defending against the rush" at cardplayer.com.
