i never liked festivus anyways

well a continuing theme of this blog for the last few months, i got smoked last night 6 tabling 200nl to the tune of 1.3k.

i held my emotions in check during it and it wasn't that bad until i lost two huge pots in succession and made a mediocre stop. i don't have the hh's but the big pots were:

AJ vs K3 on a AT37 board, villain was a spew monkey playing wildly bad so i extended my session cuz i was on his left, anyways, i 3-bet him pre knowing he would never fold anything, potted the flop and check/called his inevtable shove on the turn. he binked a K on the rvr. this was a $500 pot.

KK vs 6c4c on a board that ran out 7c3c3x5c3x and i got raised ai on the river when we were both pretty deep. when he raises the river i think im beat 99% of the time but i had earlier made a huge river c/r on him and got him to fold a big hand which he was none too happy with in the chat so i had a feeling he wanted to play back at me. this led to me calling but i knew it was wrong. $700 pot.

AQ vs JJ on JxxAx board, $600 pot, villain had be calling a lot of my raises in pos and floating the majority of flops so i cbet the flop 3w (i believe i had a bdfd to go with the overs) and he just called, turn Ace i check/called thinking i'd give him the opportunity to try and take the pot away although in hindsight im not sure how often he'll stab at an Ace on the turn. on the river i check/called all-in which i think i have to now that my hand is so under repped and he had top set from the get go.

so 3 pretty shitty spots but in the last 2 hands my play was not optimal and i need to take repsonsiblity for those results. so this has knocked my roll down to 8.5k on ftp, 1.2k in rake account and a couple hundo on stars. im going to stick to 200nl for now but will move down to 100nl if my ftp roll hits 8k.

im actually off work in an hour and am heading to the casino this afternoon for a little xmas 1/2nl. i'll also try to squeeze in a small session before i go to get the 200pts i need for the day.
