Ouch

My month started off with amazing with me up 450k. In the past four days I have gone from that peak to being down am 153k on the month. Worst part is I was playing in great games against weak opposition. Never once did I sit in a game where I didn’t feel I had a 6+ bb/100 winrate. The only possible times where I wouldn’t have were in some HU matches but that was a very small amount of hands played compared to my ring game action.
I took a risk and it didn’t work out. I could easily be up 1M+ over the same stretch of time. If I could do it all over again I would sit in the same games and probably make most of the same decisions (Assuming I didn’t know the outcomes). I am sure I made mistakes in my play over the past few days, but I never tilted and was constantly reviewing my play and always playing with 100% focus.
two pair no good in a 130k pot.
Doesn’t get much more standard than this.
I really wish I had won this one. 73% equity on the turn wasn’t enough though. At least I didn’t lose it…
Value betting into a slightly better hand.
Losing a flip.
Getting it in with an over pair and a flush draw.
I really shouldn’t be complaining about my losses. I knew damn well that losing 600k could happen very easily in these games. I took a calculated risk and it went about as poorly as it could have.
I also totaled up my year and I am up more than I thought. Right now I am sitting roughly at 1M in winnings for the year. I will have to double check those numbers when I get home and finalize my live play in Vegas, but I thought I would only be up like 600 or 700k on the year after this 600k loss. So I really can’t complain to much, though I still feel like shit right now.
