Hey Alex, Good to see ur winning. I know u were in the middle of a HORRIBLE losing streak not too long ago. This is a well deserved change. Keep it up!!

I had been looking for this thread because they moved it and I didnt know to where.

Thanks for the good words, Zuccala. I have bad news though. Today I´ve had one of the worse days of my poker life. I dont know what is it but everytime i moved up I get spanked. Today, it was awful.

I have been playing quite solid but at the end of 5 hours of no cards and horrendous bad beats I crackjed and gave away 100 bucks. The last time i tilt was long long time ago. I was feeling really really frustrated because it´s the second time i try to play the NL$100 just to lose a lot of money. Today it was near 400 bucks.

A couple hands to prove there was nothing I could do...I think.

I am on the CO and I am dealt AA. I have 140. Three limpers to me and I raise to 3.5. One maniac with $160 calls.

Flop comes 4 - Q - 6 rainbow. He bets 7 and i raised all in.

He almost dont have time to act and and finally calls with KQ. He turned another Q and stacked me.


Hand2.

A guy who cant stop talking and whining because he feels so good (but in fact sucks) raises to 4 after what he called a badbeat. I have KK and re-raised to 18 and he insta-pushed. I called. He flipped 33 and turned the set. Stacks were full.

Hand3.

I am dealt 77 in MP. I limp after the player to my right. The CO raises to $3. BB calls and I called.

Flop ($12). 2 - 3 - 7. Two were diamonds. EP checks, I bet $6. CO raises to $40

Good. He should have KK or AA and dont know what button to press to fold them. I reraised him all in and he calls with TT. Of course he turned the third T. and cleaned me up for another full stack.

Wow. Those are some bad beats!! The only one, and i mean maybe change i may have made. Was instead of pushing on that guywith KQ was raise it to like $20 or so and see much he like his hand. If he pushed then, you have something to think about and reads come into play, however.....id still call..LOL. But if he just called and the other Q came on the turn, you would have been able to get away from it.

But i mean...WOW!! those are bad. Nothing u can do at all. Take my advice for whats its worth. You played them very nice. Thats just my only thing i could possibly think of. Have a good one!!

Keep up the good work though. You know that these are just beats and not bad play and remeber "Emotions have no place in Poker". Ciao!

Alex, reading those hands makes me hurt inside. Very sad.
