Fingers crossed it gets better - $130 down for two days

Well, where to start. Today I did 8 hours work trying to sign people up to the Gutshot online poker client, I signed up 8 people, why? – coz the Gutshot poker client looks like it was last updated in 1995, it’s absolute WANK!

Got home and played poker, also went a bit sour. I’m now stuck $130 for the week – it’s turning into a bit of a bad run, I’m hitting like 1 flop in 10 and getting check min re-raised every time I make a c-bet. And whenever I do make a hand they either got shit, or summin a little better. However, I do think I’m playing quite well; the following hands are not bad beat stories – but I would like to hear what others have to say.

– this was where it all started tonight – why, whenever I have QQ and make a set on the flop do I always loose to 3c5c – also, why do people love to call me pre with any two cards from the blinds. this is another time that old 3c-5c stripped me of my stack from a while back

– would hate not to stack someone in the villain’s position – I managed to keep most of my stack

– and this guy should have stacked me too me thinks – btw: I was planning on check-raising the flop, however I checked the river to him because if made a possible straight.

– okies, in regards to this hand, I didn’t bet the flop because I had been called remorselessly on this table, and had also fallen victim to my new ultimate-tilting move, the check/min-re-raise on several occasions. Again, due to the fact the they check that you both tight and passive before they let you play ssnl on FT meant he got very little for his hand.

– by the end of the night I was seeing ghosts in every shadow which is perhaps why I played this badly on the turn – but I don’t understand all their floating on FT.

Overall, tonight’s 2 hour session saw a $85 downswing. I’m not too upset, all the above hands were during that session and I certainly should and could have been stacked twice with my AA vs a set, so I think the way I played the hand both times saved me a load of cash – and so did the shit way they played it! All-in-all I’m $110 down for the week (coz I got a $20 bonus, yay) and I’m just hoping that my downward spiral will stop here, I think I’m playing OK poker, this is just a bad run, hopefully I can come out of it and end the week with some profit.

Ty for reading – please comment on the hands – all advice is appreciated
