its official. i am through a period of running extremely bad. i made already a post about aces getting cracked by an idiots' 83o in an (almost) all in situation. same guy got my stack in an all in AKo v 10,9o... (i know this is not a huge badbeat though) but wish it was only that.. i had my jj, kk and aa run into sets and 2pairs much more than it should especially in limped pots, i had set over set, cooler after cooler, badbeat after badbeat. yeah maybe some times i got bluffed out of my overpair probably [because obviously i didnt get all my premium hands to showdown] but really , when a microstakes plaeyer calls cbet then raises turn having jj over a 10high flop isnt a big deal.. i have to admit after some badbeat i was tilted enough to go and lose some extra money. of course not a lot.. mainly not folding to big bets because "i cant be losing all the fricking time". one of those times it was against a short stack. i bluff 3betted him (do that like a maniac in zoom) with K7s he called.. low paired board, check cbet call and donk all in (pot) at that pointo im up and down. but yeah i was tilted, and yeah its a short stack and shorties tend to bluff their stack a lot in micros. so i called and i was right he had QJs(no flush draw, no draw at all) but then j hits river and i am about to crack. im probably gonna take a break.. only play the cc freerolls and take it from there... impressive thing is that despite my bad run my bankroll hasnt dropped signficantly.. but in micros even a small loss is a big one, because with all the donkeys there its obvious you should be winning big money...

so you will be asking: why did you make this thread? whats the point. well. i have said many times im gonna take a break from poker after bad runs, and both other times that i said i would i didnt. and then had to cash out because of my titling. this time you by seeing this thread help me keep my word! so thanks about that! (i have my exams in medical school anyway so its a good timing to leave poker for some time...)
