Ouch!

I'm never one to moan about bad beats, so please dont think that this post could be placed into that bracket of 'moan threads', because this certainly isnt a moan. I'm still running under EV this month (mainly due to the 3 hands that I'm about to show you), however im still running ok and am pretty happy with the situation so far: 


Today I've obviously run good (last 1k or so hands), and this has brought my EV much closer to my actual winnings line. I was around 1k -EV, but today i did mange to bink a couple of 2 outers myself which kinda made up for the kidney shots that i'm about to share with you. The first is against a player who is renowned for being a little crazy, and has mostly been playing higher stakes (2/4, 3/6, 5/10) over recent years so is no mug, one would assume...

I actually thought that i may have been crushed when villain decided to 4-bet shove over the top of me, but he had taken some really weird lines up to this point, and was playing pretty passively (plus id noticed him limping in early/mid position with small/mid pp's), so i decided that he may have done this with a big pair (people still like to minraise with AA/KK utg for some reason...baffling but true), and thus jammed my chips in with my fingers crossed. River, Ace, /boooo :-(


In the 2nd and 3rd hands i was 1 outered both times as players at the table informed me that they had folded a K and A respectively. So again, i had to suck it up and carry on grinding, hoping that the poker gods would take pity on me, and perhaps reward me with some 'run good', which i duly received to finish 1.4k up for this mornings session :-) 


Time now to hit the range for a swing review with my coach Ray Stocker. He'll get my swing on camera and then tear it apart no doubt, as its been a while since I've had a video lesson and i know that i have a lot to work on in order to start shooting in the mid 70's again. Will try to get it uploaded on here soon. 


Cheers, 1p.
