Those days.
Everyone has those days when you lose every pot.

Every. Fucking. Pot.

I hate these kind of moments because there are two parts inside of me fighting. One half says they're all assholes and cries about RNG being unfair and rigged, while the other half calms me down saying it's not worth being sad about and money means nothing to me.

Of course, I blame myself for everything. Every single moment I feel like I'm a useless pathetic piece of shit .

PMS?

Fuck it.

Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and kick some major ass.

Cold.

Life keeps getting in my way.

I just managed to get used to my new place, and there we go, I have a new problem.

I am sick. I've got a cold.

So I have a question for you.

Do you play when you're sick? Or feeling feeble, having headache and a feaver are not good enough reasons to take a day off?

Meanwhile, two poker-related questions:

1. If you raised a flop with a draw in position, a turn is an overcard, should you bet or just take a free rivercard? Especially in 3bet pots where your turnbet basically equals an all-in.

2. What to do if an opponent is an agressive guy with 40+ 3bet? Which hands would you limp, raise or call a 3bet?

Thank you and don't get sick.

0. Don't push yourself. It's probably ok to play a bit but avoid long sessions

1. Don't bet if you expect to get shoved on really often. Bet if you think you have fold equity. But honestly if you raised the flop with a draw, it should either be a strong combodraw strong enough to stack off on the flop or have enough equity to call a turn shove, if not you should not be raising a 8/9 out draw. Or if it's a gutshot you should have no issue with bet/folding it.

2. open much tighter, like 50% or less (assuming you are referring to headsup)
this is a little too complex to discuss in one post but you could definitely defend all offsuit broadways, all AXs KXs, Q7s+ J8s+, maybe any two cards 9 and above vs the 3b.

Alternatively you could separate your ranges into limps and raises (no harm being unbalanced vs somewho who is presumably a fish). So you could limp/call your 54s/T9o type of hands and raise/call hands that are a favourite vs a 40% 3b range

WTF.
Two or even three days in a row something weird and shitty happens.

I play my first session, everything is great, I take a lunch break.

I go back to my poker a little bit later (around midnight Ukrainian time) and... And I start losing every hand. Why, how, what for??? It can't be that I suddenly start playing worse, can it? But THIS much?

Hey

are you still getting coached?

your mindset seems to have gone downhill recently and that you have got quite result orientated.

pick yourself up; get yourself together; you will have bad sessions: this is poker. There is a luck element but you need to think long term and forget about one session result.

It's not about the money, it's about the overall feeling that I'm a useless piece of shit that can't do anything right.

Today the same pic only now I've lost $300 per 300 hands. Good job by me!

if you are not in the mindset of playing don't play. for now.

from what i have seen you are a pretty decent player so just play when you are ready to play your A game.

I like to do this from time to time, but not sure it's something that I would recommend other to do since you are most likely not playing your a game.

I don't drink redbull and I am not a fan of "play till your face hits a keyboard" approach because it's not even a D-game for me, lol.

Thanks guys, I'm sure I'll be fine.

Hey good luck to you,

You need to increase your understanding of the game by understanding variance more. In these types of games you can easily win/lose 10-15 bi in a day, so if you have a swing of winning 10-15 bi or losing 15 bi you should feel nothing, that way the swings won't bother you, because its silly to get angry if you lose 10 bi in a day, because it is very normal in the games.

Btw I've not posted in a long time and I am giving your blog a thumbs up because you are a cutey, gl girl and don't care about the money, care about getting better, because once you are good the money will fly your way, even if you had 100 dollars, you could make it 10k in a couple of months when you are good enough, so who cares if you lose 1k dollars now? Just keep improving every day and be happy regardless if you win or lose.

And post more bikini shots xxx

Most of the hands are from *** pokerstars.
