Hi Eveyone,

For the last few weeks I have been running really bad, and I'm not just talking about losing with J's against AK etc.  Anyway I've continued to plod along watching my bankroll decrease daily...

Tonight I went deep in the open eventually finishing 12th. Three hands stuck in my head (below) and there I was cursing my luck again.

Then I started thinking, maybe it's not the gods against me. Maybe it's be making mistakes and letting people hit hands or play me out of pots.

Anyway can you look at the below and let me know your thoughts. I can't see that I've done anything wrong and I'm hoping you're all going to come back to me and say... carry on doing what you're doing.. your luck will change and you will win the bounty hunter on Thursday :-)

Thanks

Cookie

That is the way the cookie crumbles mate.

keep cracking at it and you will hit the nuts sooner or later and take all the chips.

In Response to My Poker Sanity!:
In the first and third hands you're about 70% favourite and in the second hand you're about 55%. So you were defo unlucky to lose all 3. With the 88 you only had to put in 10000 to win 30000 after the reraise allin so that seems a reasonable call if you put him on 2 overcards (which he was). I cant see that you did anything wrong.

1st hand u had him covered(id call)he got lukky(but he cudv had 1010 jj..),id call no matter what..
2nd hand unfortunate,but if supersnedd had re-raised all in would you have called with 88?u had andy covered..
3rd hand poor call by kissy wiv A8,he got lukky,chances are after stikkin 24000 in he probly aint going anywhere,he may have had Ks or As,im thinkin im either all in or fold(hard to fold Qs)you had nothing in pot.
thats how im losing recently,think you only had 1 really hard decision 2 make with QQ..the experts will let u know,im rubbish.

played fine

short stack poker is pretty basic u just gotta win those flips and 70-30s
