Not A Good Day At The Tables

Pretty crappy day today. I think I lost about $100, maybe less because I think I cleared $40 in bonus money. Just when I think I have a handle on 6-max play, it jumps up and reminds me I’m still its bitch.

Today was a lesson in not adjusting properly to my opponents. I was sitting at two tables and both were very aggressive with PFR percentages in the high teens for the entire table. One guy was playing 60% of his hands and raising about 25% of the time, and I had over 300 hands on him. He wasn’t playing good after the flop either, he was jamming the pot with second pair and bottom pair. He was getting some good cards on the turn and river that helped him out.

I wasn’t able to get in a spot to take him on that often though. Finally on my last orbit I found myself in a spot I could. He raised UTG and I 3 bet with KQo and he caps. Flop comes Kxx and I bet, raised and capped every round and took it down with my kings. PAHUD showed me he raised UTG and capped with J9s. He told me I was insane to play a hand that fast and strong. Normally I would never do that, but after seeing the crap he played I was pretty comfortable with how I played it. He then bashed me for 3 betting KQo. I thought for a minute and said, someone who raises from UTG and then caps it with J9s should not be bashing anyone about their raising standards.

After getting my butt handed to me at the 6-max tables I figured I would feed my new obsession and play some SNG’s. I ran two and stunk the joint up. I made stupid play after stupid play. I don’t mind losing if I play well and things just don’t go my way, but I cant stand it when I play like a total donkey and lose. Oh well, tomorrow is another day baby.
