I built up about $40 in profit at microstakes a few days ago. Three days
and less than 300 hands later, I am down to just a little over $20 in profits
and I am in negative territory again at 2c/5c blinds.
I have not played mistake free, that's for sure, but four hands killed me.
I'd probably be winning a little in the last three days without these. At the same time, I haven't had a single suck out. I show down 7% less than optimal, according to PTR.com, so I don't think it's cuz I am staying in too long.
A10 on a 10 10 5 flop. The other guy had 10 5.
AJ vs. QJ. I got his money in on the turn with pair of A against pair of
Q. Only to have another Q hit on the river.
AQ vs. AK. I was way behind preflop but flopped Q99. He shoved all in on
the flop, I called. Immediately a K hits on the turn. I could have still
won with a spade flush on the river, but no help.
Q9 vs. A9. This one wasn't really a bad beat, but the 9 came on the river
and gave me two pairs, so I called when he reraised me on the river. With
a lone Q I would have folded of course.
I had 4 others that I lost on the river, but those didn't cost me a lot
as I didn't have great hands and the other guy didn't reraise. Only value
bet to find out the other guy had rivered me.
I don't mind losing hands like these, but it's when they all bunch together
in a short period of time that it is really disheartening.
Should I just quit playing for a few days? (I am also trying to free up
the deposit bonus so I don't wanna waste any days)
