Got wrecked by this guy and nearly punched a hole into the wall next to my pc as I am on a losing streak since joining GG. About 9 buyins down. Each day I lose more than I win no matter what I do! The worst thing is that GG doesn't save hand histories so I cannot analyse if I have serious leaks in my game, or a huge bad run, or bit of both. They have very basic reporting where I can see I have a bad run shamrock. My all-in EV graph is all below 0 on about 2k hands since joined. But my personal opinion is that all-in EV is only a tiny factor.
Anyway, so my biggest hand samples are at Full Ring cash, but GG has this 3blind FR which no one plays and it's all 6max.
Reluctantly I started playing them, as I know there's more aggression in comparison with Fullring. I started with single table first (no hud, serious note taking) to really practise and utilise implied pot odds in action, which I believe I did well. My +EV investemts never actualised. For example having a 12-15 outers on the flop IP. Started to build the pot and was being called whole way through. My outs never hit and I had to give up on River (at least 6 times). My sets don't flop. On the Turn I would build with a smaller bet or check sometimes. Sometimes mixed in a bluff raise after floating the flop. I was definitely running awful in that area where I was investing into implied odds which never came, so my investments are lost. Allin EV does not take that into account.
Anyway, this guy was multi-tabling like 3 tables. I was too at this stage. We played each other on another table as well. I had only around 20 hands mental note on him, quite small. He was aggressive preflop. A lot of 3 bet and squeezing from HJ, CO. I saw one showdown and his cards were very loose in comparison to his preflop aggressiveness. Here I was SB. I have a rag Q7o he is BTN. Normally I would fold, because just sometimes you get that hunch. I said to myself he 3bets lite a good bit he knows the drill to give up sometimes. I'll go for a tough 3bet to make him fold. The problem is that we was stubborn and couldn't lay down his KTs. I hit Q, so I have something to work with. 3 diamonds are slightly worrying, theres a possible Flush draw so we'll watch out for the diamond. I kead out to reassert my Dominance. Besides I have a bluff catcher and I am expecting his range to be loose to expecting him to attempt to outplay me. Not worried about the Flop flush which is only like 1%. Ace comes and I am worried now that he might have an A rag. He didn't fold my cbet. I am exercising pot control and curious what's his move. He bets 1/2 pot. I am hoping he wont bet the river. River I get 2 pair. I am certain he will pay dearly for his annoyance. I wanna stack him.
I bet, he reshoves and at that moment I knew he has the flush. But at this stage I had to look him up with 2 pair.
That was the last hand that made me quit GG poker cash games.
Was my play entirely bad in the context? P.S. I usually keep pots small from the Blinds even with AQo most of the time, unless isolating. I would even AK I would flat/3bet around 40/60, sucks missing the flop OOP. It was just taylored to his gamestyle.
