Apparently the Fish Wanted Their Money Back (ouch!)

Holy moley ... what an absolute craptacular session I just put in at Stars. Like the title said, apparently the fish wanted their money back. During my recent hot streak (apparently and abruptly over) I wasn't having monsters cracked or getting sucked out on. No more! Just brutal ... a few hands just suck and a few hands I just had to call down with (sucked) and one or two hands I just got outplayed. All in all, this hurt.

Looking back it looks like I was getting decent/good hands, and they were ones that I just could not get myself to fold despite the gut feeling that I was beat. I look like a damn calling station in these hands.

Session: 25nl / Pokerstars / 4 tables
Duration: 45 minutes
Hands: 183
End Result: - $29.55

Yeah dropped over a buyin. I remember there was a hand where I thought "Did I really just have my AA cracked again by shit?" and unfortunately the answer was yes. Lets look at the bloodbath, shall we?

AA Cracked by Fishie

I wasn't thrilled to see three callers to my raise with AA. The main villain, chrisxcross1 had a line of 48/10/3 ... so yes with his powerhouse hand of J8o he hits a miracle flop. I lose about $12 on that hand.

AA Cracked by Setminer

The call at the turn had me pretty scared, for some reason I thought he had something like AJ which meant I was toast at the turn. You can just see I know here that I'm beat and I just can't let go of my AA hand. Thus the flat call at the river, I knew I was beat. Ugh.

My overpair loses to his overpair

From the outset, in 25nl usually you see a 3bet PF call with only AA, KK, or QQ and the occasional AKs. Since I had QQ, that put him on AA or KK or AKs ... I flat call with an overpair and a Q high flush draw at the flop... the turn (again I have a feeling I'm horribly beat) I call again. The river I call a third time, with an over pair only scared of one of two hands, AA or KK. Whoops.

I Misplay a Set Horribly

I was trying to build a good pot here after the flop against a villain with a line (no joke) of 81/0/1.4 ... the flat call at the turn was a horrible play on my part. I have to pop that up. Anyways, even if I had, I am sure he would have flat the raise called anyways. The 10 is just the worst card that could have hit for me, and again it's a hand (set) I can't get away from. He shows his lovely J7s and takes it home.
