Ugly hands vol. 2….

Looking through a few hands from last week, and some are just disgusting. I really play like shit when downswinging….

I just played this hand about half an hour ago and it was just disgusting. I think I played 3 streets terribly against a 40/15 fish. PT didn’t pick it up, so I’ll just write it.

10/20 Blind battle, running pretty bad against this fish when he minraises into my BB. I 3-bet pot with QQ. He calls.

Flop is K-T-4 rainbow. He checks, I check behind. I should c-bet here always I think.

Turn is Jd, bringing a flush draw. He checks, I bet 80%, he calls. I hate this bet so much. As soon as I made the bet, I expected a big c/r, and I’d have to dump my hand. His range and the board are in bed together.

River is 9d, bringing the possible flush. I’m so relieved that he didn’t c/r me on turn, and that I’ve hit my straight, I quickly put him in (pot sized bet) on river. He insta-calls with AQdd.

I don’t think I thought about this hand on any street. Just ugly. I’m completely out of sorts lately, I think if I flipped coins for options on every street, I’d run better.

This c-bet was just terrible. He’s pushing here a large % of the time. I have gutshot and r/r flush draws and should have taken the free card.

Just frustration at a 18/13 nit. Yuk.

This was a tricky one. BB is 29/11 and fairly tricky. I can’t put him on straight after flop action obviously unless he had a combo draw, which I thought he’d c/r with on the flop. Set is most obvious hand that beats me, but I thought he’d c/r with that on flop also, and I didn’t think he’d push like that with a set on the turn. Nothing really made sense to me, so I called. I dunno about this hand, it seems that every time I call one of these sick overbets, I’m beat. I rarely see people over-betting bluffs these days, its almost always the goods. Probably should have folded.

Button is 45/19 - total maniac fish. Has been showing down random air hands at showdown over and over again.

BB is 42/23 and passive.

On the flop, I’m miles ahead of button’s raising range, and I figure BB is drawing. I should have just let it go on flop - I’m not going anywhere with this hand. Was just tired of button raising me with air every hand and hitting random overcard 3-outers when I called him down.

On river, I still figured I’m ahead of button’s range, but once BB calls, I have to dump it. I was thinking he knew button was crazy also, and was calling him light after missing his draw but hitting a piece.

Just an ugly hand.

1. Disgusting c-bet - 18/13 boy has either AA, KK or QQ, in that order of likelihood.
