played a little bit yesterday and just finished a 600 hand session this morning. Managed to drop 6 buyins in the 750 hand span. I won a couple stacks over this period but gave away 8 complete stacks during this span.
The big pots went like this :
-bottom set going down in flames 200bb's deep
-strong overpair vs 35/0's flopped str8 after I had been beating up on him
-flush over flush in a limped pot
-losing a race in a 3-bet pot
-somehow thinking I had a str8 with 78 on 9538T board and reshoving the river into the runner-runnered nuts
-losing a race with top 2 vs OESFD
-calling a J high flop and turning top 2 with AJ on AJxx vs JJ
So looking back I can say that some of the stacks I lost were coolers, at least 1 was a total mental meltdown (handreading your own hand FTW!), some were just standard variance and at least 1 was very questionable (low flush in limped pot).
As anyone who has followed this thread can see, I have a tough time finding consistency in my approach to poker.
Lately my searching has been regarding self-management and I feel pretty good about that. Don't want to get ahead of
myself but I don't really feel tilted by the swings at the moment.
Not sure if I'll play more this afternoon as I've got some school shit to take care of and this morning's session left a bit of a bad taste....
