1/3 Grinding and Bankroll

Lost an AA pre to a non-AA and chopped side pot with the other AA, lost OP bdnfd and gutter and paid to two pair in 3! pot spr tiny, lost another AA pre as well, even flopped the nfd that time. Left for mixed games where I ran a pat T8 into a 9 pre and lost a 1-card draw in deuce to a three card draw, broke my 87 and didn't get there versus his 76. Also lost AKT42 in 3! big o pot on QJ7 to AJ882, got 1/4 of that one somehow lol. Beginning of the month lull yet again. Wtf is it with the beginning of the last three months? Am I playing differently or something?

Ouch. March can only get better!

Session started well but finished poorly, winning wrap+fd against two pair at first, but then losing a ds KK to a rundown I had dominated, lost pair plus wrap to open ender +overs in 4! pot (55/45), lost a freeroll with straight v. straight, and lost a couple squeezes QJT96ds and JT965ds, first one lost to crappy AA, second lost on 834r my bdfds to AK665 (all pretty much flips or I was slightly ahead).

Losing again, this time buying in short as I’m running bad lately. Was up $2k then…DsKK got a slowroll when I had top set, loser said “I lose” and tabled a wheel after I showed. Lost AQT75ds to A8833 from maniac, and KK89T to 99356 most in pre rest on flop and he hit his wrap. Grinding it out….probably stuck close to $9k already this month.

Finally booked a win this month, took a whole week. A nice one at that too! KQJT6ds won, AA held, dsKK got there (or held?), T9876ds made a boat and a straight flush. Started rocky but made a big comeback!

Won pretty good again tonight at plo - 10/10 and 1/2. Someone bluffed into a dry side pot again and got me to fold half of the pot (these donks!), but won AJT75ds multi-way and an AA too. Turning around already, onwards and upwards! Almost even on the month.

Wraps missing against sets, nfd missed against straight, gambled once with a bad rundown against two action players, top three lost to wrap…taking a little dinner break to reset and come back fresh. It’s a real grind tonight so far. Not really enjoying the game tonight tbh. Gonna play tight and try to run it up until I get a seat in the big game.

Super frustrating night…25/25 folded winner in good pot versus 3!/4! pre, lost with dsKK versus a t-high rundown pre, lost an AA pre. Jammed 46679ds versus ep open mp 3! won nice side pot at least. Back at 1/2 very card dead and starting to lose my mind with all these trash hands I am seeing. Why?!

Edit: won 98766 on 567 just now for a little rebound.

Hang in there, youll very soon run hot again.

What's the deal with the 46679 hand

Thanks, I've made a good comeback from earlier this month already. Yesterday was just a little frustrating setback.

SPEW! 😀

Actually as I always suspected we are supposed to have some low/mid hands we play against EP open MP 3! (or against two+ tight Vs in a raising war in general). (I've been studying again.) "Going low" as I like to call it. Very likely EP/MP/tight ranges interfere with each other so we are pushing an equity advantage with our low/mid hand as the remaining cards in the stub favor our range.

Started good but then went south with mid set second nut flush draw in 3! pot versus two Vs, top set and AA nfd. Lost top set myself in 4! pot against naked nfd too. Lost top two in 3! pot with AA to wrap as well.

Take awaysÂ…just need to tighten up and hope to run goodÂ…not down much yet but I was up an hour ago.

Finished plo strong, but lost a dsAAKJ6 at the end to AAKT7ss before quitting for the mixed game where the line up looked really good. Won a 6-dugi 8-lo in baduecy, but then slowly lost it all to the blinds (100/200) not picking up any hands. Finally got AA in PLO5 and got stacked by the whale, this was going to be my last orbit so it was super frustrating, I added on for the last two hands of plo anyway and got KKJT6sss, called an open otb and flopped the nut flush on A-high flop, got it in against top set second nut flush and held on both runouts and got my a$$ out of there after playing for 17 hours and pretty exhausted stuck just a few hundo on the day.

Lost KK versus AA in a no brainer squeeze spot with lots of dead money, flopped two pair and lost to his open ender. Lost straight plus redraw to set ott and played a little 20/40 mix and made a hundo there. Oh brotherÂ…the wait for the upswing is taking longer than usual it seems.

Won nfd + set versus straight towards the end to about break even on the day (again). Doesn't help when you are dealt bottom 15% most of the time. At least the market reacted well to the latest inflation report so that was nice to wake up to.

I am happy with how I played overall which is the important part. I didn't go crazy being so card dead all day.

Finally went on an upswing last night, booking a sizeable win, main hands were a couple dsAA that held multiway, lost nfd+nut gutter to naked straight which was a big one, and lost AQJT9 to a T-high dominated rundown pre for $900 too. Also played a little 1/3 + 1/2 plo 4 card mix, won with AA in hold 'em and KJT9ds in plo and QQ in hold' em in 3! pot on 998ss, he put me in on the flop and I snapped. A great comeback in the middle of the month.

Another good upswing session, AKs held x2 at 5/T/25, a little winning at 2/5 and big win at plo with KKT64ds for the backraise squeeze got it in on the flop with an open-ender and got there, then won wrap+fd+pair blocker against mid set and got there with my freeroll against the same straight with two pair. A great night, I even bought the table a round of drinks. Finally winning on the month decently. Now let's make some real money.

So for you March is in like a lamb, out like a lion!

only up from here! and i'ma need some plo coaching soon...

Thanks everyone! I am really glad it finally turned around.

I am still coaching, and the first hour comes with my strategy guide. Look at the coaching forum for details.

Trying to win all the money as fast as possible doesnÂ’t always work outÂ…rough start tonight, AQ965ds lost 4! pot multi-way with nfd nut gutter and a pair to AA, then lost top three to top pair nfd open ender ott for dry side pot in 3! pot, then lost KKJ77ds to A5544 on 552dd in 4! pot with a tiny spr. Then lost top set double back door nfd on AKJÂ…quickly torched a lot of buy ins in under a hour. Grinding it back, but itÂ’s not looking good today. Even lost a few hundo at the 1/2 1/3 plo hold em mix.

Gonna head to 10/10 to try to run it up, game looks decent.

I am often a few minutes late for things. I routinely have dreams of rushing to class. These dreams take place in ridiculously altered versions of schools I went to ie enlarged or altered in bizzarre ways from the actual schools. In my dreams I often run for miles ( in hallways that would be 100 feet long in real life) and get to class 5 minutes late only to realize it’s the wrong class or i’m missing my backpack or whatever.

I’m happy you’re a verified coach now.

Thanks a lot!

It hasn’t turned around, only got worse. Lost 3/4 with AAJT9 to KKQJT at 10/10/50, lost another AA in 3! pot with nfd to open ender worse flush draw, and a bluff got called. Then started running it up at 1/2 until got it in 4! pot AAJ32 on JT3dd with naked A to a wrap and he said you’re good and then slowrolled the nut straight. Fml..probably worse night ever.

Ugh. So sorry. It will come around -- out like a lion starts today (or tomorrow)!
