Weird little session, finally flopped a couple of set, 3 to be exact, though the last 2 I didnt really get paid off, both were on scary boards and I had to protect my hand and both players folded. This below was the other set and is a really weird hand, not sure exaclt what villian in the main pot had since tribecca doesnt show mucked hands.

I finished my Doyles room bonus, not a good run of poker at tribeca for me. Even after the bonus I am down money, at np point in the whole 2300 hands was I in the green. A combination of being card dead and some suckouts make for a bad week. Briachek said my journal was hard to read when I vent so I will try to keep it in a less negative tone.

My stats are actually right about where I want them to be after starting out with a vpip a little high around 22% my ending vpip was 17.98%, went to SD% of 21.62%, won money at SD of 56.20% PFR at 3.63% all of which are where my numbers usually are when I'm running well. I think I just lost a couple of big pots which I was ahead in and won some extra other small hands.

With PP's 1010-AA I saw 40 flops and flopped 2 sets. I actually ended up in the red with both KK and QQ. I won 2 out of 7 pots where I saw a flop with KK.
With PP's 99-22 I saw 98 floped 10 sets, of which I actually won a pot 7 times, including one two outter on the turn and a set over set.

Even more frusterating is 32 of these 98 flops were raised pots I flopped a set and won only two of these pots. Just a bad run, I am going to clear some of the new B2B bonus's and might come back to Tribeca after that.

Northview, its not just the 2k hands at Tribeca unfortunatly. It is also a 7k of dead hands at B2B and a live losing streak too. I played a couple of STG's and Mtt's on Pardise to try to change it up a little and have been totally cold decked, I played 300 tourney hands at paradise in 2 Mtt's and 2 STG's and didnt see a pair over 99's. For some reason I always seem to be on fire or totally and completely dead there doesnt seem to be much in the middle. Right now I cant win in any game that I am playing.

I took a little break, I finished my Tribeca bonus sunday morning and just played my first session since. Same shit different day, I guess the only good news is this donkey was bad enough to just call my river bet, he should probably have had my stack. In 300 hands this was my only set and biggest pot I played

2 outers are the spawn of the devil.

I'm there with you, Rhound. I've had a vast number of utterly shit beats, second best hands and generally very poor cards over the last 5K+ hands.

It will come good. It has to.

I just cant make a freakin hand online and when I do its some moron sucking out with a shit draw. Playing online is supposed to allow you to play more hands and even out the swings a little not for me lately. Since I had a nice day playing live I figured what the hell, lets play some online poker.

I played another 300 hands on paradise and its the same shit. Card dead or sucked out.

Here are my overall number for the 550 hands I've played on paradise in the last two days.
I have had AK and Aks 11 times, I have made a pair with it twice. Once I bet the flop and everyone folds. Then this beauty vs two morons.

In 550 hands I saw AA once, KK and QQ 0 times. I have seen a total of 27 pocket pairs and flopped 2 sets once of which of course was a nice two outter.

My overall numbers over my last 8k hands in holdem are downright miserable. The first week of march I cleared my martins bonus. Since then I have played pokerroom, paradise, prima and B2B. Here are my combined numbers

According to getting each PP every 221 hands I should have gotten each pair approximatly 36 times

AA 30 times, saw flop, 24 times, flopped sets 2 times
KK 22 times , saw flop, 18 times, flopped sets 3 times
QQ 38 times, saw flop 26 times, flopped sets 4 times
JJ 25 times, saw flop 22 times, flopped sets 2 times
1010 36 times, saw flop 28 times, flopped sets 2 times
99 42 times, saw flop 41 times , flopped sets 7 times(1 set overset)
88 37 times, saw flop 37 times, flopped sets 2 times
77 46 times, saw flop 46 times, flopped sets 6 times
66 42 times, saw flop 41 times flopped sets 1 time
55 29 times, saw flop 29 times flopped sets 3 times
44 49 times, saw flop 49 times, flopepd sets 7 times
33 43 times, saw flop 43 times, flopped sets 4 times (1 set over set, 1 2 outter)
22 23 times. saw flop 23 times, flopped sets 2 times ( won 0 times)

so I have seen flops with 427 pockets pairs and flopped set 45 times. Barely 10% I have been on the wrong enf of 3 set over sets. 0 times I have had the bigger set. Not sure why I am still playing online.
