Bad Day

[CaptainSandy]

Oh Dear,
Had my worst day ever yesterday.
After coming 11th out of 11th in the Outlaws Tournie (QQ vs KA grrr) went on the 25c,50c ring table.
After an hour or so of playing my normal tight, patient game I was only a couple of dollars up so decided to be a bit more aggressive.
10 minutes later I'd lost $30.
Can't decide if I was unlucky or stupid; if I had 2 pair someone had trips, if I had trips someone had straight, if I had straight someone had flush.
Bugger, $16 left, time to build it up again.

Sorry man. Yeah those days happen. I played 3 tournament tables (only for $1) and each time I went all-in with the best hand I got rivered.

After that happened in 3 consecutive tourneys I stopped for the day.
Same with a Flop like AA3 and you have and A with a low kicker and someone else of course keeps betting like crazy and you cant just easily lay down your Ace. Today I lost twice that way because I had the worst kicker.

These things happen. I usually just stop because if that keeps happening over and over again I sometimes get emotional which makes it even worse.
Yes there are days with bad beats but if you are a good player with good bankroll management the odds are in your favor.

Good luck
