Today was horrible. Lost just over $13 after 430 hands of 5nl. The good thing is the three days before today were great. Decided to quit early and post some hands because I was getting mad. I think I played decent, a couple hands were bad and I know it so I won't post them. Comments on these hands really do help and are greatly appreciated.


I believe this is one of those standard destined to loose money hands right?

I actually put this guy on a busted flush draw. Possibly something like KJs. When the river hit I actually said "good thing that wasn't a spade." There was nothing more I could do here was there? I didn't put him on one but how often is this a set? BTW vilain ran 46/3.5/.4 over 56.

Preflop play is stupid, was only going to bet/ if I hit gold. Post flop play is standard right?
