What a very wierd day...... After yesterday i thought i would get in there and take some more cash from the unsuspecting lovlys on FTP (as i have done on the last few days previous) but for some reason ????????? that idea didnt last very long..lol Over the last few days ive been doing quite well first on SnGs then on cash tables , i had my FTP account +$100 (in 2 days) Then yesterday evening I was down $60 in 10min...... My AA raise didnt get read of K9 (big stack) pre flop and he hit a K and 9 so when i re-raised and went all in he wiped me out...Arghhhh! Then my AK got wiped out by 1010 all in pre flop. Dont get mr wrong i understand all about varience and that (I'm not even that bottered about the $$$) I just like the feeling of winning.... and when i come off a winner it doesnt matter how much as long as i feel i played well and am up a little When I play OK or good or even Ace... if i loose thats all i remember

$60 in 10 minutes is very bad, but I remember my worst hand was at $5/$10 Limit table, holding AA rasing preflop up to $20 another A in the flop, Full House on the river, but lost against FOAK about $200 in just 2 minutes or so.

Just continue to grind. Short term losses are part of the game. No one can avoid them. If you are sure to be better than your opponents, you will end on top.

losing $60 in 10 min is really bad maybe look at playing slower try and read ur opponent like how has he played in the past

$60 ouch ..... im not to bad then .. lost $6 in one hand when i flop a straight draw (have 10,Q ,board has 9,J ) ... bet it and get reraised ... i call .. turn comes 8 .... Happy days......i check he puts in a big bet ... i reraise all in he calls ..... cards go over he shows J,9 me a straight .... and then river 9 ... noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo but to make matters worse on my other table im in small blind went to call after all table calls and hit all in instead nooooooooo ........ think i might get lucky and nobody will call as it for over $4 on 2c 4c table .... but Big blind calls everyone else folds and then he turns over K,K and hits a K on the flop ........ so now down $10 alltogether................. Poker can be lots of fun you never know whats going to happen ...
