Damn. Got killed last night. -17.4BB\/100 hands in 140 minutes. -21BB total. Yeesh. It was a lot like the previous session where a suckout king would call pre-flop raises and post-flop bets to make his hand on the turn or river with rags. It’s frustrating as hell. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n
I have rockets in the SB. Tight player (UTG+1) 2-bets. Suckout king (MP1) calls with A2o. When I 3-bet, the raiser and A2o call. The flop gives A2o a gutshot straight draw and he calls my bet after the raiser folds. The turn shows a flush draw and the pot does not give him the right odds to call. The river makes his straight, but not my flush. I bet the flush and he raises with the straight. I don’t have the good sense to fold and lose 5BB.<\/p>\n
I have cowboys in the SB. Suckout king (MP1) calls and his fishy friend (MP2) calls with 73s. I 2-bet, BB folds, the two callers call. Flop gives 73s a gutshot straight draw and the pot is paying the odds. Both of them call my bet. Turn makes the straight and 73s raises. I figure him for A6, but fear the straight, and just call. River shows a 10 and I check to the straight. I lose 4.5BB.<\/p>\n
Pocket tens in the BB. Suckout king (MP1) calls with 76o. His fishy friend (MP2), the button, and SB call. Flop gives me a gutshot straight draw and 76o and open-ended straight draw. I check and 76o bets. Pot is paying the odds and I call. Turns shows an ace. With two overcards on the board, I check to 76o and call his bet. River makes his straight, but not mine. I check, call, and lose 3BB. I played this hand wrong. I should have check-raised to figure out if he had the queen. On the other hand, I’ve seen this guy go to the river a lot<\/em>. Here are some of his stats: VP$IP: 58%, Went to SD: 42%. So would he have folded? I don’t know.<\/p>\n I lost another 3BB to suckout king when my straight flush draw didn’t turn up the straight or the flush, and SK went to the showdown with lowest pair, even with the board showing a pair and two overcards.<\/p>\n Anyway, you can see that I lost about half of the money on suckouts. Another quarter of it to bad play\/suckouts. The rest I lost on premium hands not connecting on the flop.<\/p>\n If this keeps up much longer I’m going to lose my bankroll within the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Damn.
