Oh, I didn't realize that you've had thousands more posts than I so if any of my advice seems too simple, just ignore them.

And the crap continues. Spiked yet another a set and lost the hand. This time a dude raised preflop, I called with 99, the board was J98, he threw out his CB, I pushed, he called with TT and of course hit one of his many outs. (A T, as it happened.) Bleah. One more buy-in down the tubes. Streak is up to 4.

I did make one bad play that cost me about $20 tonight. Just stupid. But apart from that, I feel like I'm playing well. I'm folding my top pair type hands when I'm clearly beaten, unless their bets are too small and I just have to look them up. I'm playing tricky and aggressive. I am taking down a lot of smallish pots with zip. I am seeing morons left and right begging to give their money away and it's going to everybody but me.

Sigh. Just another day at the grind. Thanks for listening.

I took a couple days off. Went back tonight. Up to 6 stacks down in a row.

The first stack was actually a bunch of second best hands: AQ vs AK, AQ vs Q4 on Q4x board, J8s in the BB hit a AJx8x board: flush draw + 2nd pair on flop, two pair on turn, lose to AJ.

Second stack was yet another set losing to yet another total donk. This time I called a guy who raised 4x utg with A8s and I had 77 and the board was 679Tx. Unfrickingbelievable.
