I need to retract my previous post. After a nights sleep and going over some of the crucial hands from last night, I actually got unlucky a couple of times, but a couple of times I should have laid things down and just moved on and it would have saved me about 8BB.
For example, the hand where the guy held 4/3s he held in the BB which he checked to see a flop because I did not raise. My fault. Then he flopped middle pair and a gutshot, which of course he's going to call to the turn where he landed trips. Would he have called a pre flop raise? Maybe - but it is still a better play for me to raise.
Only one hand was a total cooler where the guy called to the river with nothing and hit a spade to complete a low flush. He also called a preflop raise and a raise on the flop with a two gap suited connector. Good to know.
The the final hand I just got unlucky because it was JJ vs. AQ and a Q hit on the turn when I was high favourite to win after the flop.
Lessons learned. Never assume it is only luck, sometimes we make really bad plays and sometimes cards don't fall.
Another interesting thing. Over 2000 hands I have only been dealt AA twice and AKs twice. That sucks. Meanwhile I have been dealt Arag (rag meaning below 9) off suit a whopping 150 times.
