CAR CRASH ALERT- THE FOLLOWING BLOG MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME OF OUR VIEWS!!!!!!!

Well where shall i start? Seven tables of 200nl, im running bad so run bad cheap, 7 hours and 5,000 hands later im 12 buys in down and left shaking my head after what feeling like a truely sickening session. Ive just gone over the losing hands and for sure theres a number of seriously sick beats my favourite being this : Im dealt QsJs and end up in a three way raised pot. The flop is a very nice 9s10s x, theres a bet and call infront of me so i pot it and get a call from a player i have lots of history with. The turn is a Qd and i move all in, he snap calls and shows Ac10d, such a bad call for a number of reasons but the main one being he knows me and my game and he knows im here with a monster...........anyway his wonder play gets rewarded with a Ad. I cant blame everything on bad luck, i got all my money in three times pre flop with 1010 and three times i ran into over pairs and of course i always find a good spot to run AK into AA. The real problem today as been that when i had a real top hand i just couldnt get paid, i must have had AA pre flop at least 10 times today and i would think i won the blinds 7 times and the other 3 times i took down small pots on the flop. In four hands i floped the nuts straight and failed to get a single penny, and the two full houses i got wernt worth a cent! But hey when i had top pair top kicker they had no problem finding top pair with crap kicker that also makes two pair! They had no problem calling me down with a pair and finding trips on the river, and my word what ever you do dont pass up a race oppertunity with me!!! Another problem was that i was calling with small-mid pairs, missing, checking and folding to the "C" bet, a truely painful way to drip away non-showdown profit- though in my defence no one was folding to my 3 bets, this combined with the fact i couldnt hit a set if i played for another 7 hours probably made my call,miss,fold game a good cheap option! As a mentor i always give the same advice to players running like i am now: Drop the levels, tighten up and only play when you feel happy about playing! At this minute in time i feel anything but happy, but you know what i feel no rage, no anger, no depression! Im doing what i have to do and i know it will pass and i'll be winning again soon, tomorrow in fact!!!! By the way BT got back to me today, after god knows how many phone calls over the passed 12 months theyve finally admitted theres a problem with my broadband connection and have gone as far as fixing it! Now if i can get BT to admit to a problem getting the poker gods back on side will be a doddle!
