My goal for 50NL this month was 5K hands @ 3ptBB.

well, last night, i hit 5k hands and was sitting at 11ptbb/100.
then, as i was waiting for BB's to come around, i did this ugly disgusting crap...

I know i played this straight hand horribly, and shouldnt have called the river. but how should i have played the turn?

then, if the above 2 werent enough, i lost another 120BB @ 25NL to a set over set about 5 minutes later ugh...

so currently, i have hit my 5k hands for 50Nl and am well above my target of 3ptBB/100, and im on par for about 6ptbb/100 in 25NL so far.

yuk, was at 11ptbb/100 for both before last night.

that straight hand is sooo gross.
cant figure out if that hand caused me to play the next AA hand the way i did, and if i even played it bad or not. /sigh
then the set over set at 25Nl 5 minutes later just made me sick.

on a good note, ive had a few other set over sets/ aa cracked / kk craked etc... over the past 4.5k hands, and those with the above hands Ive still managed to break even in that 4.5k hands so i guess i cant complain.

this type of run would normally be a huge downswing for me, but ive managed to keep it even.
