why don't you post some specific hands that you managed to lose, like your sets and boats.

Brian the boat is posted on the main NL section, I think I messed up on my river play. Anyways here are the set hands. In hand 1 I should have raised more on the flop.
The second Hand I think I played right, he min bet smells like a draw and the turn is just about the worst possible card I can see,.

Hand 1, I agree that you should have raised more on the flop but that would have only cost you more as the guy with 99 seemed to want to chase his gutshot.

Hand 2, I think you played well and that is just the worse board to have a set on.

As for the full boat hand, I saw it in the NL section after I posted and you took a hard beat there too. Tough breaks. At least the 2 set hands didn't cost you your stack.

To looks on the good side, I didnt lose a stack on either set, and on the second hand my opponant was a calling station so I'm glad the bad card hit on the turn and not the river.

Well I was up about $50 with a bunch of small to medium pots than this BS. Adeadhead is maniac he juts pushed all in with A3 and busted Firemaker78's QQ. Firemaker is on tilt. Than this river BS.

I'm not saying I fault your play as the pot has gotten large and their preflop calls would mean a straight is less likely. I would be worried about TT first but every one of these losses seem to happen on boards that are scary so its too surprising that people outdraw you. It can't keep happening.

I hope your are right Brian

Note from admin: This was posted in the wrong place originally by RHound50. Not sure if this is where you want it, mate, let me know

Well being up money was to good to be true, the bad beats came back and there goes the money I was up. Here are the two hands.
