Cash games really are getting emotional with me. I'm down overall and past couple of days have been the worse because of bad beats. Sets crushed by all sorts of ranges.
I had a thread where saying I was getting called by garbabe and when I finally get Aces or Kings they either get over turned OR, for example it feels I always run into Aces when i get Ace/King or Kings/Queens. Mine never seem to hold up and when I get aces I get owned.
So an example, I took everyones advice and raised more than 3xBB with Aces..and majoirty of the time people folded like i thought they would so getting nothing my my top pair. I finally got a call.. after a raised 7x BB..
Board was rainbow and i had $4.00 on 2nl. Flop was 5,6,8,. I bet the pot sized so even if he did have a drawing hand he had to fold. Which i kinda of ruled out because surely he woulden't of called a raise pre-flop with of suited 7,9 or so surely? He re-raised all-in so I assumed if I'm beat here by a set I'm not bothered nothing I can do. I honestly thought he was making a play for it. So I called and he turned over Queen,9.
Turn was a 7,river was a king. So he would with a straight and i got that mad i said "wtf? Are you serious?" He said I know what I'm doing stop crying, cry baby. That was it I was on one. The bad beat effected me and but i wasn't tilting i was still trying to play my game and told myself bad beats happen.
I surely can make back my $4 with strong play..
Twice after flop with pairs i hit sets ( i was multitabling) I coulden't lie them down and all-ins on a not so dangerous board Again to be out done by straights. I was FUMING.. I end up typing some rubbish and show my anger. Anyway it gets me that mad i feel like if i could I'd drag the C***Ts through the monitor and leather them. Its only a few dollars and I'v lost a hell of a lot more through gambling but with poker it seems to effect me soooo bad. I think it's because i was to have some positive stats or so and I'm a stat whore i dont know exactly. It wasn't as if they hit the nuts on the flop with suited connectors or so which they orginally called my raises with (which they shoulden't really be doing anyway?) It's they had maybe 4 outs... and my sets are overturned by absolute rubbish!
Or I'm beginning to think cash games really aren't for me. Over a session i can usually break even..but with cash rewards vpps etc make a profit but this has put a dent in me. I continued to blow around $25 in total and know I'v got a feeling i dont want to play Poker any more. It puts me on such a downer....what do I do? It took me ages to build a roll etc. I did have $105 now I had $83...I enjoy the game very much and play for hours even if I'm just break even its when i take a hit like this it depresses me!
What is wrong with me?
I have proceeded to play badly in SnG's/MTT to now and getting chips all-in for no reason at all. Major tilt? It feels now after earning quite a few FPP's playing micro limits that I'm going to stuggle to get back into the tournament mode yet i know i perform much better at SnG's/MTT.. It's like I dont have the patience for a tournament as i love the speed of cash games and when you can quit playing. I just can't bear the swings, espically when you do have the best hand get your chips in and a favourite to be over turned at micro levels. Then when I'm sure i have best hand, noone raises me and folds to a slight bet...Drives me mad!!!!!!!1
PS: Sorry if it doesn't make sense but I'm that annoyed i can't be bothered typing properly.
