Standard swings and misses dropped me under $3

(AKo) Super-annoying chop.

(TT) Dropped a couple bucks, added on for a couple bucks, then had this hand.
$6 --> $6.23

A lot of minor back-and-forths, then this hand.
$4 --> $6.17

Bought in for $9 at a .5/.10
(AcKc) I'm proud of myself for not c-betting that flop. I instinctively want to c-bet with big slick because it always seems so unfair when it misses, and sometimes it is still best. With two opponents, I figure at least one of them caught enough of this flop to call a flop bet, and one of them could already be crushing me. Yeah, it was both. One could call a flop bet and one had me crushed.
(KTo) Such a trouble hand. I almost folded to the minraise, but decided I had the pot odds to try and flop big. Instead I flopped medium and had a minbet and a minraise into me. I decided to raise to clarify, and got clarification that I was done betting.
(99) (Bad link) My nemesis hand flops a set again on a Q-high board, and I get no action again. I chose to raise first-in from MP with it this time.
Not a great session, but oh well. Was either card dead or swinging and missing for a big stretch, standard bad session.
$9 --> $5.07.
57 Hands
12/6
Going to two-table .02/.04 and not watch TV.
(6c4c) Knew I could only win if I bet after missing the oesf draw and he didn’t seem to want it.
(Qd9d) another stab-or-lose after betting my gutshot/flush draw/over on the turn and missing.
(Ah9h)
(AcJc) Sometimes poker is easy. Villain had A7o.
(44) Sometimes poker is painful.
+$4
(KK) Unfortunate turn card, but at least I still won, even if I stopped betting.
(AA) Shortly after…slowly working back towards sugar at this table…
(AQs) Villain calls pf light and can be heavily value bet with top pair, but I can’t bet or call against that opponent on that flop. Villain has a piece, and isn’t going away.
A long stretch of raising, missing, c-betting, and taking it down, then raising, c-betting, missing, and getting reraised. Waiting for the “raising, hitting” part as my BB/100 plummets.
I want one big score before quitting. Come on, donkeys! Help a guy out!
(QJo) Oh fuck me. I knew I was good when that money got in. Knew it. Post hand chat:

(KJo) FUCKING DONKEYS!
(53s) of course I get chased off a triple-up on this one.
(Jc5c) And of course call and miss here, with the dude who raped me earlier giving me a cheap card with the flush draw instead of raising with the nuts. No, I shouldn’t have been in the hand to begin with, it was a quasi-misclick, and then there I was.
+$1
What a supremely annoying session. No big score for me, only wound licking.
$17 --> $7.86

Sliding back a bit, but nothing that not getting sucked out on in a session or two won’t fix.

Aren't you a dog here when you get your money in against the A5 guy? He has a pair and nut draw +1 over. I think he is like 55-60% favorite. I would have to twodimes it though.
In any case, tough fucking session bro. It is interesting to note the hands you played in the order that you presented them.
AK, TT, AKs, KT, 64s (limp UTG? out of character a bit),Q9s,A9s,AJs,44,KK,AA,AQ,then QJ, KJ,53, and finally the monstrous J5s.
That 44 hand made me hurt.
Y, I just said I was good, as in, I was calling with the best hand.
I don't hate his play at all, I would have done the same thing with the combo draw in that spot. We both made the correct play given the dead d0nkey money provided by avamaya, who was actually much stronger than I thought. That guy goes to the felt pretty thin. When Happy Smith just calls, I put him on a draw that he was going to call me with, just didn't know it was a combo.
As for the 64s, the table was pretty passive from what I'd seen to that point, and there were two limpers in front of me, I wasn't UTG.
Given players' tendencies at these stakes to be unable to fold top pair weak kicker (and in some cases, MP/WK and pocket underpair), I do look for chances to see cheap flops with speculative hands in middle or late position with other limpers paving the way.
"current best hand" that is. You know what I mean.
Ya current best hand means almost nothing though when you are talking about getting all your money in..
I mis-read the 64 hand because that guy had to post. I do that all the time too, limp hoping to flop big with speculative hands. A lot of the time the play is so passive that you can see many flops for very cheap. Tough session in any case. I know it won't hold you down though.
Sure, but I'm fairly well ahead of his range...his flat call instead of a raise put him squarely on a draw.
Here is a solid drawing range, all the flush draws and open enders...
Anyway, I feel I read the situation correctly and did the right thing, he just happened to have the corner of his range that gave him an advantage.
