    Default Running very bad, is it effecting my play?

    I have been on the worst ride in a while. Is it my play or just the worst luck?

    Hand #1
    The villain as no stats. Is this the wrong move?

    Hand #2
    I just sit at the table. Villain has just shoved 2 hands earlier.

    Hand #3
    Villain calls my UTG raise and a UTG +1 call with 85o and leads a 984 board when he was rr, he shoved.
    In this hand I think I am so far ahead that I was happy to get it in. this is the hand that stopped my play. It has been a tough week.

    Hand 1 HH is a bit messed up, can I assume he check-raised you?
    I like flat-call and reevaluate turn However since I have played w/ STINO before and know he is nitty I'll probably just fold to the c/r. And please table-select better coz Danpil is also a well known nit that doesn't stack off often

    Hand 2 Easy shove against a shortie

    Hand 3 Don't let bad beats affect your play

    umm in hand 3 i wouldn't feel comfortable getting that much money in preflop with AKo.

    lol riverstars.

    1. Raise on the flop is rarely a flush on stars surely? A jack calls you down.
    2. standard? I hate AK preflop fwiw.

    3. Ewwwwww, too much money going in preflop IMO.

    Jack-high straight flush motherfucker
    you stack off pretty light


    ex. pushing AK pf is a <10BB sng/mtt move, not ring

    Hand 1: Not terrible because you're only loosing to a set and many drawing hands make this same play... aside from the all in. I think you should have slowed down after cillain raised the first time.

    Hand 2: Get it all in asap on flop.

    Hand 3: I rarely get it all in preflop, but it looks like you made the right read/play so nice hand, bad beat.

    Without looking at the hands, Dr. Phil says yes. You posted this. When you run bad and you are pissed, learn to take a break and take a walk...very EV+

    sounds like duh advice, but try it for real. We talk here so much about what to do in hands, but an average player with excellent emotional control can outwin a great player with poor emotional control.
