Just came off of a nasty tilt.

Not the kind of tilt where you blow all your cash on air because these cheesheads call your AKo bluff with a lousy pair of threes.

Not the kind of tilt where you bet with any two cards.

But the kind of tilt where you blow 4 bets on every street with top set figguring there's no way that king helped them improved to a better set... Only to see your QQ get crushed on the river. Or where they raise/called 4 bets on the turn with middle pair only to hit their 3 of a kind on the river. Or where they caught runner runner straight against your top 2 for 4 bets on the turn.

Fuck I could kill someone right now

But the worst part about the tilt was, every time I was raising with crap... Like A6s with a pair of 6's. I was AHEAD until the river.

What have I learned? Some nights it's just not your night. Fold, go watch a movie, and don't come back till tomorow. And don't dump more than 3 buy ins.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

yeah, per my "live prep thread," i'm off $2.

sorry, had to be said.

you guys BOTH know you'll turn it around, so i thought you could handle that "tilt bomb" i just dropped.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Dealing with the rollercoaster-like swings is all a part of the game. Being able to still play decently despite nights/days/weeks of running bad takes a lot of practice and wisdom.

I'm in a pretty big downswing myself (though it's in NL sngs lately, not so much LHE ring) and it sucks, but we'll make it through
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Seriously, this thread is like a good blues song. It's nice to hear someone as down in the dumps as me.
Every 2, 3 is hitting. Got popped by a 1 outer and the highlight of this bad run. My low str8 flush gets snapped by a high str8 flush.
Saving grace on this last hand
Board 7c, 8c, 9c, 10c. I have 56c. The Ac flashes his card in disgust. So I know the 3 bet has at least a Jc.

How do you show all the cards when you write a reply?
