Just returned from Brantford, and it was basically another frustrating session. So if you are keeping track, this is my second straight losing session at Brantford after going 20+ straight winning sessions over the past 2 years - so I really have no right to complain. Tonight was a different type of frustration compared to last session - tonight was more of the "how hard can you get screwed by the deck except not by bad beats"...illustration:
1. On my BB with A2, we have a blind raiser/straddler UTG. 5 callers including myself, and flops A2x - obviously the blind raiser has AA.
2. I cold-call a raise OTB with 98hh after a EP raiser and 3 callers. Flop A98 - got 2 bets in on the flop, 2 on turn, and 1 on river from 2 other players. Obviously they had A9 and A8
My last name of the night at 10/20 - LAGtard who has probably dropped close to $1K who just won a pot with 92dd on a AdK10d 10 8d board decides to wake up with KK when I have QQ....
And then there are other hands where it was essentially the deck not hitting in my favour.
1. 3 bet a LP raiser with AQ, lead flop, turn, check river and loses to 88.
2. Capped pre-flop with AK, and doesn't win race with QQ
3. Missing OESD/flush draws, OESD straight + flush draws
Just wasn't my night. Here is me hoping that I'm saving my good karma/cards/luck for Vegas - speaking of which I should get around to book my flight.
Next poker games - probably just grinding out FPPs on Stars, and trying to satellite into the PCA. Just got a reload bonus of FTP, so will probably play some PLO there as well.
Probably heading down to Buffalo on Friday with a couple of 2p2 guys for a hockey game, so will probably squeeze in a bit of poker/craps at Fallsview before the game.
