Day 1, session 1

It seems all the 'gl' I have received thus far has not been enough as this operation has started out with a downswing. And not just a normal downswing with like 2 bad beats or whatever, one of those god-awful, frustrating, fell-like-punching-the-wall swings where it feels like every player at every table you sit at gets dealt the nuts every second hand while you are simultaneously dealt the second-nuts. I'm second guessing myself at every decision point now and every forced fold is like stabbing myself in the eyes. I feel like I haven't flopped a pair in 3 days.

I also got totally levelled by a ridiculously good new regular in this hand (actually I just played bad but it's amazingly frustrating to play against this guy). He's 32/27/aggro and 3bets 20% of his hands in 6max.

I knew that he knew that my range was weak because I checked the turn, unfortunately he knew that I knew this and made a good bluffy looking valuebet on the river which I fell for hook, line and sinker.

Hero lost -$280.25


I'll play more hands later once I have a tilt break. Will update then.
