Operation: Getting a grip on things.

No huge updates.....other than it has gone well with the BR. Some sessions I play well and get mediocre results but I played one session very poorly and had great results.

This is from a recent session. The villain had raised very mediocre hands from mp before (79s) so I am happy to call on the btn with a connector.

Flop: ($0.95) 8, K, A (2 players)
Villain bets $0.70, Hero calls $0.70

I am fine with calling this. I feel I have some good implied odds. He had played a hand similar to this very aggro with a marginal hand and I feel the str8 would be concealed and should make some money to justify the call..

Turn: ($2.35) 10 (2 players)
Villain bets $2.10, Hero raises to $5.50, Villain raises to $11.90 (All-In), Hero calls $6.40

I dont want anything to slow the action down so I decide to try top get more money in the pot. He obliges...

Sweet......he had a good hand. Sick turn card for him...He turned over TT for a set.

Next hand to show:
This one put me on severe tilt...
I really got worked up on this one.

Preflop, the shortstacker was bad and the caller was running about 90/14 over 40 hands so i def call with AJ.

I dont think donking does anything here so I check and hope someone puts money in. I raise b/c if someone has an A, its likely worse and likely they will pay me off.

Turn: ($6.20) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $3, Villain raises to $6.95 (All-In), Hero calls $3.95

I have to believe that he would prob raise AK prew so it could be AQ or A6, A9 that beat me. The rest I beat....

Villain turned over A3....but we tied obv...

WTF? The shit river takes away my score....
I was well on my way to a killer multi buy-in sesh.....oh well.
I quit to take a breather....I was pissed. Need to calm down......

I hate to follow up a rant with a rant but its hands like below that make me wish poker would fuck off.

I'm fucking pissed because I know with out a doubt that the 3 largest pots I have ever played in (the above being the largest to date) I have never won. .....And its usually to shit like this or a horrible player flops a straight....and I get a set...

I know, I vbet the flop small but I remember thinking, I only have to worry about QT or AQ thats it. So I even put in a good reraise on the flop for measure after they showed interest......
I really hate to complain but I fucking wish that just once one of these multiway all in hands would go my way...

Sorry, I wish I had something good to say but thats what happened
