Going Down on Limit (cash)

BAD BEAT

I believe I am on a losing streak with limit. It happens sometimes. No matter how well you play, you sometimes will take bad beat after bad beat. No draws hit, no hands hold-up. I almost cried when I took this beat because I was frustrated after losing so many hands like this one. This type of frustration is difficult to describe. It's not annoying like a fly buzzing around your ear. It's more like looking making bet after sure bet and losing over and over again. You just get fed-up after awhile and go on tilt. But because I'm so hard-headed and can see that players are playing so badly, I always think that if I play long enough, I'll eventually beat them. But lady luck has different ideas and if I've learned time and time again, it's best just to take your lickin' and get the hell out of there.

Another Slide Down the Depths (cash)

BAD BEAT

I'm on another one of those sick losing streaks where it seems like you just keep getting unlucky. I hate that about poker, but I suppose it's just simply part of the game. Knowing this doesn't make it any easier. Here are two hands that represent how the game is going right now.

I knew I should have folded on the river, but idiots sometimes make stupid plays. Not folding here led to my bad play on the next hand shown below. Still, my opponents had only two outs each which meant only four outs total and I still lose this hand.



Here's a lame laydown that makes me wonder why I folded. I guess I've been losing so much with bad calls on the river, I second-guessed myself and folded when I shouldn't have. But why would someone fire at the river with such a dangerous board? Maybe because it's just $0.20.


I guess I can't blame this guy for making these calls, but how do you not get pissed-off when you flop a set of kings?
