Got dealt the cooler and lost $20 with KK vs AA
Then this morning I just got my money in on a cashgame with a pair and a gutshot draw with a flushdraw on the flop. Turns out I was up against a set and I couldn't hit any of my outs. I normally play it more passively and try to hit and then get my money in. But I've been trying to satellite my way into the fulltilt Main event, and my AK got cracked vs AJ twice, and then AK vs QJ. Was just hoping to catch a break, but instead it broke my bankroll down quite a bit. Still hovering above $500.
Everytime I play cashgames I seem to lose pretty big to either bad beats, or just big pots like KK vs AA and straightflushdraw vs set.
Blah, it happens. Chris Ferguson said it isn't as uncommon as most people think for KK to get cracked 15 times in a row. I think I've had them cracked about 5 times in a row, I'm hoping I don't get to 15. But that's why you must manage your bankroll. I still feel you must take some shots at the higher stakes to stay sane. If you fail it's back down to grinding it out.
really, what I should be doing is sticking with the $3.3 KO tournaments and MTTs those are definately my best game. There's going to be a lot of varience there, but I feel I have the ability to final table fairly consistantly.
Find your game and stick with it. You can learn other games by studying and doing the research in the meantime, and try out some other games at the lower stakes. But if your game is MTT, it makes no sense to take shots at the higher cashgames. Not sure what I was thinking...
Lesson learned.
