My god. Complete carnage today.
From 1 June I changed sites to 888 - man, I have never seen so many fish in one place. Pretty much every table I've played on in the past week has had >40% players seeing the flop, and at least two players with 65/5 type stats. Many times I have raised 5-6BB in EP/MP and had four callers behind me. Amazing.
So you would think that translates into moniez, right? Right? Not today.
Pretty much everything that could've gone wrong, did.
It started with PT3 breaking down on me, so my HUD was not available. The 65/5 fish are still pretty easy to spot, but it didn't help in dealing with the others. Not ideal, but not a huge issue either - I've played HUDless a fair bit on the past.
Then the software decided to disconnect me at the best possible time: I timed out on the turn when the pot was already 50BB, we both had more than 50BB behind, and I had a set.
Then the beats. These guys don't fold, so I'm madly shoving money in when I have a hand, but they keep calling. And today they hit way more often than they should have. Top set goes down to runner-runner straight. Two pair runs into a flush on the river. KK all in on the flop vs JJ and he hits a J. KK all in on the flop vs T6o, and the turn is a T ... and so is the river. And on and on and on. One of those days.
Finally I tilt. I can feel the red mist coming down over my eyes, but before I can get out I get dealt JJ on the button. Fuck it I says. Three limpers, I raise, get 3bet by one of the limpers, I call, flop is 8-high, he bets pot, I shove over and he calls and shows KK. Bye bye 140BB.
So once the dust cleared, the net damage was 5 buy-ins. I suppose it could have been worse, all things considered, but I can tell you that it doesn't feel that way at the moment, especially as I'm trying to work my way back up from a huge downswing. Right now I'm back into negative territory for this op - about 28 buy-ins below my peak.
I don't think I'm going to play poker tomorrow.
