Very bad run

[amoeba]

Over the last 2 months or so, I've lost about 12 buyins at the 100 level. I am still profitable at that game but I'm starting to have doubts about my abilities.

Whats the worst run you guys have had?

I dont think most of it was due to bad beats.

Example from last night. :

I've been running the table fairly well. Table is generally weak tight. Villain in this hand is New at table, out of like 10 hands he's 30/5 or so

100NL 6max, I raise on the cutoff to 4xBB with 23s when folded to me. fold to the big blind villain who calls.

flop : 3 3 Q rainbow.

Villain pushes in for 95.

call?

come on now- without a doubt!

are you putting him on the 4th 3 in a 6 man game? or QQ? i guess open-pushing with the absolute nuts is a move that is used pretty often ... but i could easily see AA KK AQ (even worse hands i.e. QJ JJ TT) do something similar

you cant fold a 3 here IMO

I'm seeing some sort of correlation here.

P.S. fold.

more like 19.

I don't know how all you guys have 25+ vpips. I suspect its because you guys are calling raises when in position with suited connectors.

I raise these when folded to or 1 limper in position but I typically don't like calling a pfr with them.

I'm pretty sure I remember you saying you were like 19 vpip 11 pfr or something similar.

[amoeba]

yes thats about right. I'm certainly not LAG. Perhaps my postflop play needs work.

I'm running at about 24/10 right now. I think calling raises with SC's could be some of the difference as I will do that.

To add some substance to my post. I haven't been playing these 100NL 6max tables long yet so I don't have any super bad runs to report. I did loose almost 4 buy ins the first night I played the same game on stars. Most from a high variance play pushing a double gutter + flush draw which didn't hit. Followed by what I think was some questionable play. When I first started playing 6max at the 50 tables I dropped 10 buy-ins in my first month. That's my worst run. Getting that into the green felt pretty good.
