Question

I just had the worst day of poker in my entire life. It wasn't even a whole day. It was just a 4 hour session where I almost crippled my entire bank roll and just had the worst luck imaginable.

Here are some of the hands... I handed out 2 bad beats myself but nothing compared to the carnage I faced:

1. I buy in for $2000 at 20/40 NL and after about 15 mins I am sitting on about $3500 and get dealt KK... I limp in 1st postion, one guy raises, 3 guys call, and back to me I make a huge re-raise. The original raiser calls and everyone else folds. The flop comes A K 5 rainbow. We both went all-in and it turns out he had AA.

2. I rebuy for $2000 and my 1st hand immediately is AK suited. I raise and get called by 1 guy. He has only about $900... the flop comes K 10 2 rainbow. He checks, I raise, he goes all-in, and turned out he had K 10.

3. Now I am left with about $1200 or so but I make that up to about $4000 or so and I am even when I get dealt K5 offsuit in the BB.

Answer 1

Real quick answer here.  You're playing too big and you never want to play when you're upset at all.  

The worst I've had is getting AA 4 times and KK once in a half hour 6 handed NL and losing the stack each time to a bunch of idiots playing garbage.

Answer 2

Playing on-line with my total bankroll and I am in the big blind.  

I get dealt J3 off and only one person called coming around to me and I only call because I am in the big blind.

Flop comes JJ3 so I hit full house.

Dude across from me goes all in right away and he has me covered.

I took to the last second to call and this was my thought process;

If he had J something else, I already had my boat, he would have to hit his still - so I am good.

If he had pocket 3's I had a big boat -so I am good.

If he had Bullets he still only has 2 pair and I have a boat -so I am good.

I pushed all in because if I can't call all in with a boat flop then why am I playing?

Dude flips Cowboys, River turns a K.  He wins bigger boat then I have.

I was unhappy but at least I made the right play and almost every time win that race - except for the once I had all my money in.

Sorry about your bad bead.  We have all had them.

Answer 3

I will answer Your Question in a different sense then actully answer it.

1. Bankroll managment is key. Im not goin to ramble on cause i suppose you know. When ever you double your money or even more as ur case was on the 50/100 table, one should probably stand up bank ur cash and if still in the mood to play go back to 10/20 for ur 2k amount and just grind. The A 4 vs A 7 is tough to take. Its hard for me to even read. But think you are dominated preflop. Not to justify the bad beat in anyway just tryin 2 think posotivly.

Now my story

2. JUst by the way this isnt the original person whom used this account about the growing issues. That was my little brother. I am 20 years old.

I play at winstar casino is oklahoma gaming age 18

My br is something close to 40k since i started with 500 when i was 18. Got pretty good at holdem haha.

I was playin 10/20 with 1000k

I was playing perfectly i get K K in the cut off with 3 callers in front of me so the pot was 210 because the first 3 were in for 60. I raise the pot so now its at 480. button folds sb folds bb calls original raise pushes other guys fold. man all in stack was 1.7k at that time beating all of ours i was at 1.2k bb at i would say 950  so pot was 3.5k give or take with the rake

BB-A K spades

Original raiser Q Q

myself K K

flop-2 5 7 rainbow

turn 10

river 6... my kings hold and i am up

I catch another guy bluffin so i am at say 4.8k

Ill cut to the chase on my bad beat hand UTG goes all in with Ace K his stack was the biggest i had seen.... bout 15k he said he had been there all day

I have A A

ITs perfect i am bout 2 go home 7k richer

flop 7 6 9

turn K

river K

so i lose my 1k. I leave for the day..

Luckily the next day i grind with 1k again and run it up to 2,300 usd so i grossed 300 that week in but that utg player is still in my mind
