Aiyaah! After a month of grinding and notching up solid if unspectacular wins I hit a rough spot once again. AA met KK, allin preflop. No big deal. I flop top two with AQ in a reraised pot and lose to a set. Another reraised pot where my flopped trips loses to a set and down goes another buy-in. Another set meets a flopped flush and I fail to improve.
With a downturn like that eroding weeks of solid play it is hard not to tilt. Tilt itself is strange beast and its sometimes pretty hard to recognise. Calling a turn bet with KK on Axx flop. Not that you don't believe they do have an Ace just that you believe they really don't deserve to have outflopped you.
I had should have done is taken a break, even for a couple of days and get back to steady winning. What I shouldn't have done is step up to 50NL. Not so much that I shouldn't play 50NL. I probably should be. But not with the attitude of wanting to win money back. Trying to win money back is a recipe for disaster. Play is more aggressive and I stumbled into some pretty aggro tables. Clearly moves were being made often. I called an 8.50 pot sized bet with one opponent with AQ and caught him on a bluff but also got allin preflop with TT against AA. I was bleeding money. A mixture of good play and awful play but my bad play seemed to be more expensive.
My losses were starting to mount and I was just on my last orbit when up popped my biggest online hand to date..and who should happen to be at the table but Lamma's very own Moocher.
Fresh from a tournament with Joe Hachem. He had position on Joe and had him outchipped. Down to the last 6 with prize money for 5th $200 and increasing thereafter. Top pair weak kicker lost to a straight and bubble boy decided to join me at the 50NL cash games.

I suspect my previous loose/bad play was a factor in getting paid off but this pot was enough to make up for my 50NL losses and draw a line under a bad weekend. Still $200 to recover to reach the high water mark but I plan to do that at 25NL for the time being.
I'll move back to 50NL soon I think though.

Shocking play by moocher there :-)and I can't see why the other guy isn't raising at least on the turn...calling the all in is pretty nuts on the end.
I find myself moving up and down quite a bit. My results at the higher levels are better (Omaha) than at the lower stakes in terms of BB/100 but I tend to get a nosebleed if I stay there too long.
I found a real character on stars who wanted to flip for $50+ which I agreed to...we did this four times and I won three - including the last which broke him. He then asked for a loan, which I refused. I offered to lend 100 if he gave me money on Full Tilt, which he claimed to have. The exchange took place and he wanted to flip for the 100! I offered another 50 flip which i duly won and then told him to try and use the rest in a more productive way on another table.
Should I have let him another shot or was my approach right?
Hey don't tap the glass ;-)
I'd say coin tosses on Stars are -ev.
But its always nice to run someones account down to 0. I do like seeing someone buy-in with a random cent amount. In fact I've considered buying in for a random amount and shoving with a good hand because I reckon you could well get called light by people that incorrectly pigeon hole you as taking your last stand.
I reckon you have more of an edge at Roshambo!
When is this ever going to be updated?
