So, That's What It Feels Like

To run badly. Last night, I just got completely annihilated at the hold'em tables. 1/2 limit, .25/.5 6-max NL, it didn't matter. Sick beat after sick beat.

All told, I was down an unreal $177.90 in hold'em cash games. Here is a representative hand of last night. It's not really that -sick- of a beat, but frustrating nonetheless.

.25-.5 NL, 6-handed

Hero: $49.15; Villian: $20.40

Hero is dealt 5s-4s on the Button.
2 folds, Villian limps, Hero limps, SB folds, BB min-raises, all call.

Flop: Kd-4d-5c
BB bets $1, Villian raises to $3, Hero raises to $8, BB folds, Villian takes forever and calls...

Turn: 7h
Villian checks, Hero puts him all-in, Villian takes forever and calls

Villian shows: Ks-8h

River: Kc

Luckily, I had a real strong day playing O8. I played 2/4 limit and $100-max PLO8 and finished the day up $180. When you add on some bonus released, I made a grand total of $27 on the day.
