Default PLO8 200

My last hand of the month...

Link

This hand is pretty indicative of how the month went for me on the $200 tables. I was a solid winner on $100 and down, and I could not win a race all month long on $200 and up. If I win this hand, I avoid my first losing month playing PL08, But it was not to me.

Anybody thing this is really bad play on my part? I'm kinda on the fence, considering I know how tight Bunny is.

Correct play, "wrong" result. I know you know this is the right play...just in a bad patch right now. You'll snap out of it eventually.

Standard play. Maybe you'd have been + for the month if you didn't let me get away from second set on that hand a couple of weeks ago [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Your equity never got to a dominant level in this hand, but you were never incorrect to call, whether considering a range-of-hands argument or just going on the hands they actually had. You just have to chalk the result of this type of hand up to variance.

A tip for going through a rough patch--try not to worry about it too much after the fact. I get plenty pissed during a session where hand after hand go the same way this one did for you; usually I end up sending myself the HH's for the half-dozen hands that go badly, then take a quick look at each of them a couple hours later and just trash them. If you start second-guessing yourself every time the cards fall in a way you wished they hadn't, I suspect it'll hurt your game. It can be cathartic to post a hand like this, but keep in mind that the outcome wasn't that improbable, meaning that it'll happen a LOT more and you simply have to be prepared for it psychologically.

Did you ever consider being a therapist, wintermute? Maybe I can talk to you about how my Dad neglected me....

In truth this is for my benefit, not his. Getting sick of reading goddam bad beat posts that aren't even bad beats.

And for you: do not use the fact that your dad neglected you as an excuse to grope little kids in the plastic ball ocean thing at a MickeyD's playground, you sick fk.

You want bad beats I could post them. This was more or less a "race" but I was behind the whole way and pumping the pot-- so I wanted to know if anyone would have played the hand differently.

Maybe if I knew your alias I would know what hand you are talking about.
