Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2982709, member: 34747"] 5x5s on A53dss Ao 7o Hand from my session on Friday night/Saturday morning where we started out stuck 2k. We bluffed off a stack with AK in a 3bet pot already. Details aren't important, but this villain called us down with 99 on Q high board. [b]Preflop:[/b] Game is 2/5, we have :5s4: :5h4: in MP and there are two limps to us. We overlimp and end up going 6 way to the flop, with main villain from AK hand OTB. [b]Flop ($30)[/b] :as4: :5d4: :3s4: Checks to me and I lead for $35. BTN thinks for a while and ends up calling. All others fold behind. I think he usually has an ace, since I think he calls faster with draws, but he might have some low spade draws or a PP. [b]Turn ($100)[/b] :ac4: I bet $95, and villain almost immediately calls. Seems very consistent with an ace, given the difference in the time it took him to call - definitely seems like he improved. [b]River ($290)[/b] :7h4: I bet $265, and villain thinks for a while, then pushes out a huge stack of green chips. I ask for the count and the total bet is $775. So it's $1,330 in the pot, $510 for me to call. I hem and haw for a while, really unhappy with the situation, and really expecting to only ever be shown A7, but I finally end up making what I know is a losing call. Really unhappy with this, and I think if I wasn't already stuck that stack so quickly I would have been way more likely to just fold, but there you have it. Pretty horrendous calldown, and I keep running into these types of spots - I need to get a lot better at listening to what I know is the right play in my head and then actually following through with it, and not saying "**** it, I'm running so ****ing bad - I cawl." Played a **** ton of MTT's tonight, bricked all but 3. Effective min cash in the 40k gtd for $90 profit, bit over a min cash in the $150k gtd for like $270 profit, and 2nd place in a $16.50 5k gtd for like $737. Ie, I only made a couple hundred bucks on the day lol. Still better than the losses I sustained this weekend, but there you have it. I can't bring myself to post about the other gigantic hand I lost at 2/5 yesterday because it's embarrassing and frustrating and honestly still hurts a lot to think about. Usually single hands - even ones where I made a big mistake - only affect me for that same day. I'm getting way better at sleeping it off and coming back relatively fresh. But for whatever reason this one is still festering, so right now I'm just trying to avoid thinking about it and ruminating. Hope everyone had a more profitable weekend than me, and that whatever you've got going on Monday isn't too terrible. Not excited to head to work tomorrow but I'll have a bit more sleep behind me than I anticipated, so at least there's that. [/QUOTE]
