Ouch ! Warning BB post.

Losing at this higher level hurts. For the last week I have been grinding out small wins as I win a big pot then lose one and vice versa. Last night was looking the same until I went from up $500 to down $2500.

Some was due to bad play. I put someone on a big Ace but was out of position and didn't bet the 8 high flop and decided to raise him when a J appeared on the turn. Of course he had AJ which killed my 33. Other hands were people out turning or rivering me. With AQ twice people hit their kicker in big enough pots then the two real killers happened:

First I flop top set with JJ and find myself up against 888 and the turn was an 8. Ouch, $1000 more gone. Then I flop a set of nines on a King high board, turn Ace, river Ace. This guy had limped with AK and not bet a king high board with two hearts and was rewarded with a 20:1 shot and anothe $750 of my money.

I had Aces 7 times and they were not cracked once but the most I made was $200 in one pot. Can paople see my cards? I raise the same amount everytime and virtually the only times I was uncalled was when I had big pairs.

I ran KK into KK, luckily no flush came.

I hit no draws. Not one. Oh ok, maybe I hit one but I definately did not get my EV today.

Still it has to happen sometimes. Bankroll is still way bigger than it has been so i can't really complain.

Merry Christmas
