Two days of run bad.

I have run bad the last 2 days.
At least I broke even (largely due to people going allin drawing dead).



Coincidentally ... I did a cashout 2 days ago ... you be the judge.
The good news is that e-check cashouts are working again!

Of course my biggest loser is AA, losing $80 over 21 times holding it. 4 losses (-$103: AAvQQ AIPF, -$50: top set vs flopped flush, -$30: overpair folded river, -$38: AAv99 allin on flop - river 9)

Here is a weird hand, I am sure if I posted it on any strategy forum it would be massively criticized. http://www.cardschat.com/hand/8060 I have 77 on a 79Q44 board and never make an aggressive move until the river, and then I fold to the 3-bet shove. I am 90% certain the guy had 99. The stupid thing is that I hardly ever take the line of caling behind twice when I flop a set after I cold call preflop. It was just a weird situation with his bet sizes and the fact that he cold called preflop too (in earlier position).

Oh well, I will never know if I was right.
Time for a couple days off ...

Misclick tilt.

What a disaster this hand was. 1) Failed attempt to backraise preflop. 2) Misclick fold on the flop. 3) Trying to check hand history and time out on 24 tables. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Stacks: UTG with $98.50 UTG+1 with $117.95 MP1 with $112.45 MP2 with $144.80 CO with $134.90 BTN with $51.75 SB with $111.35 BB with $100.00

Flop: 2♣ A♦ K♠

Was planning to play a few hours, but ended up closing all the tables after 1.5 hours after this disaster. I wonder how much money that misclick cost me.

Mid-June update.

Well the analysis of last month has paid off the last couple of weeks.
Either that or I got lucky.

I got PokerTracker 3, but I haven't had a chance to fully customize it, so I have still been using my old set-up. It will take some time to import some hands, and configure the HUD correctly. In the long-run it should be a good upgrade to start using some more stats like 3-betting and CBet information etc.

I did have a some monster tilt the first 10 days of the month over 20,000+ hands, because I was worried that the tenant was not going to pay his rent, and I took out my anger in the PL($0.25) and PL($0.50) full ring games to try and minimize the damage that would be cause if I did it at NL($1). Look at those awesome stats.

During one session, lss11013 stacked me for 4 full stacks. TTvAA allin on dry flop, 22vAA set vs overpair and NFD, Q7v22 short-handed on 247T7 board, AKsvQ8 semi-bluff on T92J missing 11-outer.

I was running well at NL($1) without too many allin preflop drawouts until today where I had a bad -$350 session, where I could not win a decent pot. http://www.cardschat.com/hand/7934

I just bought the 4 insta-cash credits from the FPP store, $2,584 for 161,500 FPP. There is currently a question about cashouts though after e-checks and checks were bouncing last week, as I would like to get some of this money.

I have played only a nominal amount of tourneys, S&Gs, freerolls, and non-hold'em poker and haven't won anything there.
Overall the month has been good and I plan to keep playing well.

Relative hand strengths.

Look at these 2 hand histories. One I have a fairly weak hand, but call huge bets based on my read. One I have a super strong hand (top set) and getting 4.5-1 I find a fold. Lastly, what is a guy calling 40% of his stack set mining with QQ against my range for 4-betting UTG LRRs (the range is AA).
