I am observing that for the last few (2-3) days that the hands I'm being dealt are very very difficult. I've been playing ok or at least a little average poker and am almost there to for the iron man chip. But the more nearer I get to it....the farther it seems. In the last two day I've had as many bad beats as I might have had in the whole month. I move in with trip on the flop and some idiot calls his flush draw......almost always and 90% of the times draws it. Sad I usually play in the 1/2 NL tables.


Can anybody tell me if any of you ever experienced this?

I'm not saying .... FTP is rigged or I'm not blaming anyone.....

But names aside....

Even though many say strategy is important for me ..... how many don't want to win money with strategy?

Let me post a few hands that played out:

I usually play in 6m tables.

Hand 1: 2/4NL 6max.

I was big blind and dealt QQ. UTG folded and UTG +1 bet $14 (normal bet) the next 2 guys folded, small blind folded and I raised him to 34.... He calls and the flop comes Jh Qs 4h. I bet half the bet....to trap him.....thinking he might think ...I have AK and am c-betting the flop. He raises me pot......I take a loooooottttt of time and as I am sure he hit the flop, I call him and we see the turn. It is Ks. I check here ...sure that he must have hit that K and will bet me. He bets the pot and I move all in for around $375. Around $175 over the pot. The moron calls me with AhKh and the river comes out to be 3h.

There are nearly a gazillion hands like this.

I play so well to trap the victim and I become the victim at last.





Similar hand last weekend in a casino.


Being in the SB I raise pre flop with AA, and the button re raises me. I min re raise him so that he won't fold. (stating I have a very gud hand) He calls and the flop comes..... 678 rainbow. I check. He says..you re raised he pre flop then why are you checking..... and bets around $150 into an already huge pot and says "Just letting you know that AK is no gud". I go all in for around $650 on a pot of $800 and he instant call me showing 99... and guess what the turn is .. a 10 and he makes a straight .



Is there something I am doing or is it just my bad luck?
I want to go to a deep hole and cry.
