LC (Low in Content):
Spectacular hands!!(LC thread #2)
RIGGED!!!!! (Oct 08)
There are few long threads and this one is long and kinda funny (Really Old)

Today is the 3rd day in a row that when I start off, I am behind even though I don't seem to be doing anything really wrong. Downswing hurts, but you just have to be honest to yourself and that there is not really any play that is bad enough to let you lose 50BB in 100 hand or less.

Fortunately for me, except for the first day (which I ended up down big) this is the second day that I have recovered and made a smallish profit. I am glad that I am able to maintain my level of play, but obviously the cards aren't too brutal as well. But it's tough to start your day and the first hour you always fall behind.

Again, this is a hand that bugs me. Villian had 7 outs, so this is not really egregious, but somehow it is human nature to hurt a lot more when your boat stupidly lost.

Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is BTN/SB with 9 9
Hero raises, BB calls

Flop: (4 SB) 4 A A (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls

Turn: (4 BB) 9 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero caps!, BB calls

River: (12 BB) 8 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero caps!, BB calls all in

Final Pot: 18.51 BB
BB shows A 8 (a full house, Aces full of Eights)
Hero shows 9 9 (a full house, Nines full of Aces)
BB wins 18.485 BB
(Rake: $0.50)

Not playing a ton, winning some losing a bit more.

But when you can tell if someone is running good against you and not outplaying you, even if you reflect later on, you're on the path of tilting less.
