Re: Session from Hell - Thoughts
Nothing you could do about these hands, if you played the rest tiltfree, I would say you did a good job.

Re: Session from Hell - Thoughts
Yeah, thats pretty rough, but you never did anything majorly wrong in the hands just got sucked out on by a couple of monsters [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
And aslong as you didn't really tilt .. I've just come out of a run of sessions like that myself - went on for about a week in total and you just have to keep telling yourself that your doing that right things and it will turn ... eventually ... |

Re: Session from Hell - Thoughts
I tilted after I quit [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I have three sessions in a row at this level pretty much the same.... I'm 2-13 with pockets aces in the last 3 sessions. Not really a big deal just frustrating. Good news is that I'm beating the 1-2 game and recovering a bit of these losses. Doesn't make sense to me when you can beat the better players and lose to the weaker ones. Still learning I guess. |

Re: Session from Hell - Thoughts
I consider myself a newbie, but even I have lost pots with almost every hand that you could lose with. I don't remember getting anything like hand 1 though, and have never lost with quads, so I have something to look forward to. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I saw someone else post that if they had a really bad session and felt their confidence was shaken they would play something like .01/.02 for a session just to get their confidence back. Review your hand play, review poker tracker stats, adjust where needed, and keep betting. Good Luck!

Re: Session from Hell - Thoughts
Regarding Hand #1, you have to love an opponent who plays 63s UTG and then doesn't bother to cap the river when his straight flush hits. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Session from Hell - Thoughts
This happened to me when I had ATs, flopped the nut flush (KQ4s), and caught the royal flush on the river. When the board didn't pair I knew I had a winner, and focused on keeping my opponents in the hand for as long as possible. The significance of the jack didn't even register.

Re: Session from Hell - Thoughts
Absolutely brutal. I think the worst beating I've ever taken was about 50 BB's in 7-8 hours.
Sounds like you've got the right attitude and discipline to shake it off though. Good luck. Man, I can't get over that straight flush suckout though. whew! --Zetack |
