I have no idea how you guys can take this in limit. This was happening on 3 tables for over 4hrs tonight. I had unreal cards (26% VP$IP with over 20% of my 570 hands grp 4 or better) and was busted all night. Can't drive anyone out. It was making me crazy. I had a PFR of over 10%.

I sit down with more than 5BB is what I do. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Edit: Be glad you saved yourself 21 cents.

Just keep playing solid TAGish poker. That loud sucking sound will go away eventually 8).

So.... are you going to change your strategy to always folding AA-TT, AK, and AQ before the flop? Playing these hands always have positive expectation.
Also, please don't run out of chips at a table ; this could cost you a huge pot.

Having a nearby kitten to kick helps tremendously.

Be glad you're in a really good game.

Also, being set all in is pretty much inexcuseable.

Umm, I called his last $0.29 all in. I had $30+ left.

I'm a tard, that was earlier. This was my last hand of the session. Couldn't take any more.

It got so bad the other at the table were complaining about his calls. PT has him at a LAP.

This was by far my worst night of bad beats at AP. I just bought PT and I'm ready to burn it. Now, I can't rationalize away I was too loose and playing crazy. I kept playing sane (how I don't know).

Doesn't seem like you can punish such crazy play enough. I won most of the hands I took to SD (55%). Most only got MY bets. When I had this nut raising, re-raising, etc to cap the round he'd hit a miracle (rainbow flop, no pairs, runner runner to inside straight) for the win.

I think what really torqued me was looking at PT after this 4hr marathon of torture looking for leaks. I lost $50 tonight - $37 to this one idiot, $13 to another idiot, the rest was spread around fairly well.

Looking at this guys 100+ hands he was waxing rocks, TAG, mice, etc. He won $150+ net. I know he can't be up long term.

Thanks for the venting.

Hero called all-in and was not put all-in.

Not a lot you can do here. You played it well. NH

Ty

I just noticed you guys don't know his hole cards 6s5d.

This may haunt me for days. At least I'm going out of town for a couple of days.

Villian was 22-1 underdog to make his hand. 22 out of 23 times you win this hand... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
