***Warning - Rant Post**** :)

Wow - crazy, crazy weekend. I think that I jinxed myself by posting my October graph (at end of month and each week.) Maybe I should stop posting graphs when I'm doing well. It seems to trip a bad beat/cooler switch. ;)

I try to steer clear of going on and on about bad beats and coolers, but this weekend has been ridiculous. It is the kind of stuff that Fuel55 usually posts.

I just had set under set twice in less than 5 minutes on two different tables for close to three buy-ins total. (set of Queens under set of Aces and set of 10s under set of Qs).

Friday night was even more brutal with suckouts left and right - including KK losing to QQ with a Q on the river.

All in all, I lost 8 buy-ins so far this weekend.

Some Hands (followed by the PokerEV all-in Graph from Friday night)

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1661948
- QQQ vs AAA

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1661949 - 101010 vs QQQ

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1661747 - Only against a shorty, but this is how my luck was running

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1661713 - Don't usually make this call, but this guy was a little fishy. He hits his flush.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1661501
- AA vs. 66 - standard

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1658225 - KK vs QQ - all-in on the flop. Queen on the river.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1658219 - Make a loose call 0f a 3 bet with 7c8c. I hit my straight on the turn after he checks the flop. The river fills him up.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1656348
- SB vs. BB - AKs against JJ - no help.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1656345
- 666 vs. 999.

Edit: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1665405 - Adding this one from tonight.

There were many more. You get the idea.

I guess this is where I should say something like....

The sun will come out tomorrow. The sun will come out tomorrow. Tomorrow there'll be sun.

Anyway, I still have a hefty bankroll for 2/4. If this keeps up I may take some time off from cash games and try my luck at tourneys some.

EDIT: After a night of sleep and a review of the hands, it's all good. I really think that I only spewed less than 1 buy-in which isn't bad in light of all the beats and suckouts.

If I look at this weekend with October then I am still up $10k, so life is good.

I'll be back at it and will stop the rant posts. :)

  1. The measure of the man is how he handles this shit.

  2. Ditto to Fuel there. Cash game variance is the worst thing in the world of poker, and it's very easy to lose several buyins quickly especially on those nights where set over set decides to hit you in bunches. I've seen you playing quite a bit at the 2-4 tables of late, and you are almost always holding your own with a bigger stack than the max buyin, so I say you're doing a-ok. The shiat will turn around, it always does.

  3. Ya, I can't see any mistakes in the hands that you played.

    What is up with all the sets over sets, and sets losing to overpairs lately? I had two myself the past 800 hands. 888 < KK and 555 < AA all-in on the flop.
