Bad day at black rock.

[AlamedaMike]

Live NL200 game - I played about 8 hands.

Won $120 at 6/12 and used that as a buyin.

#1 - First hand I played.

sb - AK - 3 limpers and I raise to 20 - 1 caller - flop 89T - I make a CB 30 and he calls. Turn is A and I push my remaining stack - he calls and shows JQo for a flopped str8.

Stacked

I rebuy $100. I move to seat 3

#2 - First hand I get EP - UTG makes it $20 and I push my $73. I get one caller LP with - flop is an Ace - and no Queen.

Stacked

I rebuy $100. Move to seat 5.

#3 BB with . LP raises to $20, sb calls and I call in the BB. Flop is . SB goes all in for $110 and I push. He turns over - turn is River

Almost Stacked - Have $55 left.

game.

#4 Button - LP raises to $20 and I push my short stack $55. one player EP calls and the PFR calls. Flop is . EP checks and PFR goes all in - he shows - EP shows - Turns is

Stacked

I leave. No need to see the River.

Sometimes I hate this game - Today online I won $210 but that does not make me feel any better.

I lost 2 full buyins - $120 I had won on the $6/$12 game.

Some times I hate this game.

I know that losing happens and that bad beat happen but why so many?

The QQ hand I was 70% to win, the set of 7's I was 95% to win on the flop. The AKd I was favored to split the pot and he called $55 with 99 just to flop a set.

It's probably a reference to a film.

Some days you are the bug and some days you are the winshield .

Yesterday I was the winshield covered in bugs.

Bought in $200 NL live and cashed out $1600 - 90% luck and 10% skill. I did not receive any bad beats.

But, I missed my draws. Twice I had for a straigh and a flush on the flop and missed both.

and people say that stuff like this only happens online....

[AlamedaMike]

Yeah MVP - #1 the AK was a bad call for me. #2 the QQ vs A8 - as you said - blows. #3 - I had almost a full stack since I was at $97 and bought $100 - The I lost a few - with the 77 I had about $185. That is as much as I could have. A full buyin is the way to go. Hard not to call $20 with 77.

If you are below $100 you can buy $100 more. If zero you can buy $200.

#4 yes 99 was the favorite if he knew we both had AK. But, overcards fall and the first AK bets what is he going to do?

Thanks for your comments.

Just another day at the office.

Thanks MVP - I had as close as I could have on the 77 hand. I will keep that in mind. Online you can rebuy at any time and any amount to the table max but live you can only rebuy if you are below $100. I am not sure if you can rebuy more that $100 at a time since tha is the norm, either $100 or $200 if busted.

We were lucky that the guy was short stacked. But, if he had more he would have mucked. What can you do?
