I have had a losing session before but this was by far my biggest. Lost a total of two stacks and ended up with a negative 9.4/100.

Didn't really tilt or get too upset but I have to ask myself: "Did I lose because I was unlucky or because I played bad?". Obviously there's no way I played perfectly so it is a mix, but what are the proportions.

In Texas I can analyse my game pretty well and know why I won or lost a session. Here... I just can't. I'll present my stats for you to analyse and then I'll pick some hands as well.

Vpip: 16,98
Vol SB: 29,7
Won wsf: 19,7

Went SD: 36,5
Won SD: 50

Aggression
Pfr: 2,4
Flop: 1,1
Turn: 0,6
River: 0,75

Won hi: 3,4
Won lo: 2,6
Scoop: 2,0

BB/100: -9,4

A few hands:

Looking at my stats it seems I turned from pretty tight aggressive to super tight calling station

hand 1

dumping on the flop for a raise would not have been horrible. then again, you have a backdoor nut flush draw AND a backdoor nut low draw with a bunch of showdown monkeys in the pot, so calling the flop probably wasn't bad either. once you see the turn, chasing for a bet and a raise without closing the action is probably a bit loose. it's close in terms of EV given that you could expect a lot of action from a lot of people on the river (implied odds), but that assumes that you're not chopping.

you'd look like a genius if the low had hit.

if you want to avoid variance, then dumping on the flop is probably best, with dumping on the turn without a double low-flush draw on the river running a close second.

hand 2

fold on the river for one bet? heeeeee haaaaaaw.

that being said, no shame letting this one go a bit earlier.

hand 3

this is tricky, but if you think you're playing with donks, i think you have to get as many bets in as possible on every street if the hand is not HU. these guys definitely look like they're willing to show down less than the nuts, and you end up leaving too much on the table if you worry too much about getting quartered. be careful with the solid players, and jamming is probably not the best in a three-way pot at higher levels, but i think you shouldn't be ashamed of taking what they give you.

hand 4

yeah, i think the dump was in order. you had eight outs to the take half the pot, but you were probably going to need to put in three more BBs to see the river. see ya.



interesting hands.

Hand 1
Sorry to be blunt but that flop call is horrible. You are getting 7.5:1 on 2 backdoor draws and there is a chance it will be 3 bet. You need almost 6:1 to call on just a low draw so calling with a backdoor draw just plain loose.

Hand 2
These hands are tricky in O8 because you hand is much weaker then it looks. What turn card are you hoping to see? What are the changes that your 2 pair will hold up? I would have checked the flop and saw what developed.

Hand 3
Against these players I would have capped every street.

Hand 4
2 pair hands on a 2 low board are very tricky. Again, what turn cards are you hoping to see?

I don’t see any glaring problems with your stats for that session. It looks like you could have been on a cold run of cards (low W$SF, low turn and river aggression).
