Just when I thought cash games couldnt get any worse, todays session happened. This was the worst and most depressing session I have ever participated in. More or less, all I can say is "Oh well" and move on though. I started at 3:30 PM and played until 10:15 PM for a 6.75 hour session.
Today was poor right from the start. I opened $10 with KTo from the hijack and got calls from the cutoff and the BB. The flop came QQ2 and I c-bet $15, the lady behind made it $35, and the BB called (they both had queens). I was in the BB with a bunch of limpers and Q5o. The flop came QT2 2 spades and I check/called $10 on the flop but folded to a $20 bet on the J turn. I was down to $255 like that. I made it $12 with 2 limpers from the cutoff with KQo and one of the limpers called. We checked to the turn on A855 and he bet $15 and I think Im good here a decent percentage of the time so I called. The river came a 7 and we went check check and he showed 76 for a rivered pair of 7s. I made it $8 with A9hh from MP and got 1 caller behind. The flop came K73 and I c-bet $12 and he called. The turn came a J and I check folded to $25. I made it $10 with AJo UTG, got 2 calls from behind, and check/folded an 843 flop to a bet and a raise. I was down to $200 and I added on for $100 more (in for $400 total).
I made it $10 from the hijack with K4dd and 1 limper. The button, BB, and limper called and I folded to a bet on an AJ5 flop. I found 99 UTG+1 and made it $10 and the button was the only caller. The flop came J53, I bet out $15, and he called. The turn came a 2 and I checked, he bet $15, and I called. The river came a T and I checked, he bet $25, I called, and he showed A4 for a turned straight. I was down to $225 (-$175) after this. I raised 2 limpers with 85cc to $10 from the button and they both called. The flop came T65 and they checked to me, I bet $16, and one of them called. The turn came a J and he lead out for $30 and I folded. I was down to $190 and bought $100 more (in for $500 total).
An EP raiser made it $6 and got 1 call and I found AA in LP and made it $20. Both of those guys called but folded to my $35 bet on a 772 flop. I was up to $325 and then a fun hand came up. The guy in the cutoff opened 2 limpers to $13, the SB 3-bet to $30, and I found KK in the BB and made it $100. The cutoff folded and the SB moved all in for about $290. I guess I could fold here but whatever. . .I said I wouldnt fold KK again preflop at a $1-$2 game so I tanked and eventually called and he showed the AA and I lost when the board came all unders. I bought in for $200 more so I was in for $700 total.
I limped behind several people with 73hh and the flop came AT2 2 hearts, giving me a flush draw. It checked to me, I bet $7, and 2 people called. The turn came a blank but the river came the Kh, giving me the flush. It checked to me again and I bet $30 but they both folded. I called $6 in MP from an EP raiser with QJo. The flop came J75, the raiser bet $10 and I was the only caller. The turn came a 4, he checked, I bet $20, and he folded. I was at $275 (-$425) after this. I made it $10 in EP with 77 and got 3 calls. We checked down KJ66Q and AJ won it. I called $4 in the cutoff with 43hh and the flop came QT9 2 hearts. I called $20 with 1 other player and we checked down the turn/river of 43 and my runner runner 2 pair was good enough to take it.
I was up to $315 (-$385) when I played another fun hand. There was a guy at the table who was 1)drunk and 2)had never apparently played before becuase the first hand he played he tried to take money out of his pocket to call a bet that put him all in (he had A high also) I made it $10 from UTG+1 with QJcc and got 3 calls including the idiot from the BB. The flop came Q72 and the idiot BB lead out for $20, I made it $40, and he called. The turn came the Tc, giving me a flush draw to go along with my top pair. He checked, I bet $30 (he only had $37 behind and I thought that the all in might scare him so I just bet enough he could call with his chips) and he called. The river came an offsuit A, he checked, and I checked behind and he showed AKss for the rivered higher pair. Sweet. A couple hands later another fun hand came up. I was in the QTo and a MP raiser made it $6 and got called in 5 spots. I called too and the flop came J96r giving me 2 ways to make the nut straight. The drunk idiot guy from the SB lead out for $10, I called, and all 4 people behind me called. The turn came a 7, we checked, and the MP raiser bet out $40. I was planning on folding but 3 other people ended up calling the $40 so I have to call as well (especially since I am closing the action with 2 cards to the nuts). The river came another J and I had to fold to some stupid bet on the river. I reloaded for $100 more and I was in for $800 total after these hands.
A couple of hands later, another one of the loose stupid players on the table made it $10 in MP and I called the button with AQo. I was the only caller and the flop came AJ5. He checked, I bet $15, he made it $30, and I called. The turn came a 6, he bet out $30, and I called. The river came a T, he bet $20, and I called but lost when he showed AK. Sigh. After this hand I added $100 more and was in for $900 total.
There was a straddle and an EP limp by the drunk idiot guy and I made it $21 with AJo and the drunk guy was the only caller. He check/called my bet of $20 on the flop of A83 and when the turn came a 5, he check/folded to my $40 bet. I made it $10 with KQo from the cutoff, the button called, the BB moved in for $12, an EP limper called, and the button and I called. We checked down a board of A735Q and my rivered pair won the pot. I called $7 from MP with 87ss with 3 other callers. The flop came 983, they all checked to me, I bet $15 and got 1 caller. The turn came the 7 giving me 2 pair, she checked, I bet out $31 and she raised to $86. I thought for a while and decided to fold and she showed the T6 for the gutshot straight bink. Wee. . fun. I made it $15 on a straddle from MP with T9o and the BB was the only caller. We checked to the turn on Q435 and he check called my $22 bet. The river came a 9, he checked, I bet $60, and he folded.
I then was able to lose another nice medium sized pot. There was a straddle and I made it $21 from UTG +1 with AKhh. I got 3 callers and the flop came K73 2 clubs. I bet $35 and a LP player was the only caller. The turn came the 5c, completing the potential flush, I checked, he bet $55, and I called. The river came the Qc and I checked and he checked, showing the 87cc for the flush. I should have lead out big on the river but I guess im not good enough to make this play. I was down to $220 (-$680) after this. I made it $10 from the button with A4dd and an EP limp. The SB and the limp called and the flop came A98. The limper lead out for $10, I raised to $25, and she moved all in for $40. I called and she showed K8 and I faded when it came 7T. I was at $270 (-$630) after this. I called $10 from the cutoff with 98hh and we took the flop 6 handed. The flop came 642 2 hearts, giving me a flush draw, and it checked to me. I bet $30 and the original raiser was the only caller. The turn came a T and it went check-check and the river came a 6, he checked, I bluffed $40 after missing my draw, and he folded. I was up to $330 (-$570) after this.
I limped the button with A9o and called when the BB made it $12 but folded on a KJT flop. I made it $10 with KJdd, got 4 calls, and folded the 988 flop. The cutoff made it $7 and I found KJss in the SB and made it $19. The BB flatted and the cutoff called and the flop came JT7 2 spades giving me top pair and a flush draw. I lead out for $30, the BB called, and the cutoff folded. We went check/check on the offsuit 4 turn and the river came a K, giving me top 2 pair. I lead out for $65 and he folded.
I made it $8 in EP with J8dd and the BB was the only caller. We checked to the turn on 954K, he bet $10, I made it $26, and he folded. I then played another hand that illustrates my luck today. There were 2 limpers to me in the cutoff and I made it $12 with KQo. The SB and both the limps called and the flop came KQ6. They checked to me, I bet $26, one of the limpers made it $75, and I called. The turn came a T, he bet $100, and I called. The river came a 3 and we both checked and he showed KQ as well. Sweet I finally have top 2 in a big pot and he has the same hand. The button and SB limped to me in the BB and I made it $10 with K7dd. They both called and I bet $16 on AK9 and they folded.
My table then broke up and I moved to a new, fresh table hoping my luck would turn around. It didnt. I took about $420 (-$480) to the table. I made it $8 from EP with 66 and got 3 callers. The flop came 844, I bet $15 and got 1 call. We checked down 53 and my 66 was good when he showed AK. I called $7 from the BB with 55 and folded when it came K43. I then made a stupid bluff that cost me alot of chips. A guy in EP made it $11 and got 5 calls including me with AQo. The flop came 952 2 diamonds and everyone checked. The turn came the 9d, completing a flush and I decided to take a stab, betting $31. I got called in 1 spot and the river came an offsuit 7. I decided to continue repping the flush and bet out $80 but the guy snapcalled with the Q9 and I was down to $300 (-$600). I called $11 from the button from an aggressive EP raiser with A8ss. The BB called and we checked to the turn on 7s7x2xTs. The raiser bet $22, I called, and the BB folded. The turn came a J and we went check check and he showed 5 high and my A high was good enough to win. I was back to around $400 (-$500)
The table then got ridiculous. The were multiple people playing every hand no matter what the price and the pots were all raised in the $15-$20 raise. Most of the people at the table were straddling as well. I called a straddle with 66 and a guy behind made it $14. There were 6 callers and I folded on a board of KJ97. I called $15 with 55 with 4 other people and folded when I missed my set on the flop. I then made a stupid play that is one of my regrets from the day. I called a $10 EP raise from the hijack with T9ss and 6 other people called. The flop came 963 2 diamonds. I checked through when it checked to me, the button bet $15, an EP player called, and I made it $65. The button called and the turn came a 7. I checked, after much thought, he bet $100, and I called. The river came a 5 and it went check-check and he showed J9 for the better kicker. Whatever. . .I suck. I was down to about $240 (-$660) after this.
I called a raise to $10 from LP with 75cc and 4 other callers. The flop came A96 2 clubs and it checked around. The turn came a 4c completing my flush, it checked to me, I bet $40, and everyone folded. I limped EP with 22 and called $18 with 5 other people but folded when I missed the flop. I made it $12 UTG with 99, got 5 callers, and folded when the flop came AAQ (the river came a 9 but one guy showed A9. . .ha). I called $15 from LP with 7 other players with 76hh but folded on the T74 flop.
I was at about $220 (-$680) when the real fun started to happen. I was UTG+2 with a limper and I found JJ and made it $15. I got 4 callers. The flop came 743 2 diamonds, it checked to me, I bet $40, a MP caller moved all in for $93, and I called. The board filled out 7K and he showed me 97 for the turned trips. I rebought for $100 more (now in for $1000 total). The very next hand, the biggest donk at the table was straddling and I was UTG +1 and found AKo and made it $22. I got 2 callers behind and the straddler made it $115. I put him all in for his last $215 or so, and he called. The board ran out T5465 and he showed QQ and I lost that pot. I bought back in for $200 more (now in for $1200 total)
I limped 66 and the guy behind me made it $14. He got 6 callers and I folded on the flop when I missed my set. A guy in EP made it $15 and I called with 77 with 4 other players. The flop came K54 and I folded to a bet. These hands brought me back down to $200 so I tacked on my last $80 (in for $1280 total) to top off to $300 in hopes of hitting a big hand vs one of these idiots who play more or less any hand.
I limped from MP behind 3 EP limpers with AQo into the donk from the AK vs QQ hands blind. In spots like this (which happened more or less every time it was his blind) he would make a small raise to $10 or something stupid like that for no good reason every time. I originally didnt limp with the intention of exploiting this, but everyone behind me limped as well and he made it $12 from his BB, the 3 people ahead of me called and I made it $100 looking for the dead $50 in the pot. It folded to the BB and he went all in for his last $190 (yes he was back to $190 after winning the $450 coinflip vs me before). Everyone else folded, I called, and the board ran out J7547. He showed KJo for a pair and I was no good. I was down to $97 after this and, while I would have loved to stay and try to win my money back, I had no more topper money so I just decided to leave because if I stayed I knew I would hit some cooler and have a spot where I could have won a full stacks worth of money but would only end up winning $100 because thats all I had, and that would have drove me crazy to no end.
Anyways, I was in for $1280 and cashed out with $97 for a total of -$1183, a ridiculously horrible day. I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong. I dont know how how how all these average bar league players can come into these games and be able to consistenly cash out for decent amounts but I play day after day and just get worked. I must be doing something wrong, but until I figure out how to do this I will go in and work hard to try to make up the losses that I have been set with. Tomorrow is the 1st Venetian Deepstack tournament so hopefully I can do something special in that.
