Swings Swings Swings, the beginning of this month was extremly awful in both ways, i started tilting ( thing that i don't usually do ) lost reraised flop holding bullets to things like T/3s or A/7o catching flushes on the river.... also i donked prolly 2 stacks... but the good thing is that i think the downswing was officially over on Saturday, thing that makes me happy. Gonna see if i start posting hands again this week, i been lacking on that.

I Gotta admit i'm not playing my best poker these days, but hell... the sites aren't helping either... for example PS decided to rape every set i flopped ( i actually didn't play good the big one i lost ) but still... over 315 hands i played i managed to win only 10 hands... that is counting 2 hands where i was BB and everyone folded, every continuation bet, every preflop raise, everything , absolutley everything was been called, so i decided to wait for big hands...

Anyways as i said , here we go...

HAND 1:
I PLAYED IT HORRIBLE, FLOP RAISE SHOULD BE STRONGER BECAUSE I GAVE IMPLIED ODDS, AND OF COURSE THE TURN CALL MAKES ME SICK EVERYTIME I SEE MYSELF CALLING THAT HAND.

Well.... RED RED RED , those are the type of results for most of the days this month so far....
The Question now is why, i think i'm calling way to many river bets, and doing stupid calls even when i know i'm beat.... the thing is that this month people calling me with stupid stuff is kinda affecting me... lost KK vs a guy calling a rereaise with 52 and calling pot size bets all the way to the river to get his 2 on the last street.
ALSO OF COURSE... I'M A DONK.... i do stupid river calls like this:
