I seem to really only ever write in this thing when things are going baaaaaaad. Well needless to say.. since my last post.. bad indeed.

Took a HUGE HUGE hit today.. down 12k. Played some 10/20 and some 5/10. I don't think I really played that poorly. I make a few bad bluffs in 3-bet pots, shoving AK and ATs in position postflop.. for 1k and 3.3k losses respectively.

Mostly just ran really bad. Either in terms of coolers or just getting sucked out (the worst part of getting sucked out, is the money that goes in on the river once you're already behind). This inevitably lead to some tilt... and these were the last three hands of my session:

I call this "how to lose $4k in 60 seconds (literally)"

Hand 1
-2/5 pounds table
-villain in this hand has been 3-betting me NON STOP.. and 4-betting over all my 3-bets. I have hardly called him and folded to all his shoves
-I decided to take a stand here, because: I was on the button, it was three handed, he was squeezing AND he was getting out of line

Hand 2:
-same 2/5 pounds table and same villain about 5 seconds later
-this hand was purely cause of tilt. If someone pops you two times consecutively, the second time is almost always a legitimate hand.. and I know this.. yet I STILL 4-bet him
-even worse is my 4-bet size (also cause of tilt).. its waaay too huge and only ever getting played back at by solid hands (mind you I can't imagine any worse hand shoving anyhow)

Hand 3
-5/10 pounds table
-this hand happened RIGHT after the previous two on a 10/20 table
-the table was also 3-handed and just went 4-handed. I haven't gotten involved too much with this player but he has shoved over one of my 3-bets and I called him in a bluff a while earlier in a moderate pot
-I'm not sure how standard this is 3-handed. I think if I wasn't tilting and sick of getting beaten down everywhere I could probably/potentially lay down to this river

Comments on these hands are welcome! Keep in mind though that they are definitely influenced by tilt and the fact that I was already down like 8k before these hands... ugh
