Well... I've been treading horrible ugly water for about a week, nothing happening, tables dead, hands dead, and me throwing some dumb plays into the mix, to basically get nowhere. Today, however, I'm ready to ****ing break something in a serious way. Just played a coupla hours this afternoon, same dead session, nothing happens, about 60 up then I lose a $200 pot in my last hand, well, it happens. Then today I play this evening session, playing very well except one dumb river pay off. Doing fine, probably $100 up, good going after getting dealt 2nd best hands about four times.

Then THIS hand happened. I'm not generally one for bad beat stories. OK, well I am, but this one was particularly sickening I thought it was worth posting. You'll note that it's at a £ table at crypto, and thus the pot is worth approximately $360 at current exchange rate.

What was he thinking on the flop? Well, who knows. Anyway, it's still been a reasonable month (at one point it was my best ever, winrate-wise) but this last few sessions has been a real burn. I even seem to have missed out on some bonuses (Party one mysteriously credited me with only 19 bucks, the interpoker one was horribly unclear as to its requirements and thus i missed it, i think). Ach, anyways, I'm just in a whiny mood. Never mind! Here's the hand, parental advisory and all that...

Monk
xxxxx

he had the ass end of a gutshot and a pair of 9's, what is wrong with peeling one off?

That just sucks. normally, all his money would be yours.

As you said to me after my last one outter for a big pot, its times like this that make you wish you had never played a hand of poker in your life, but you'll get over it and this moron will give his money most of the time.
