Ok, it happens, of course, but I just thought I would share 3 hands with you from a terrible session I had at Poker Stars. I´m not going to post the hand history, I prefer to just summarise it.
So here I am with AK off, UTG, I raise 3x BB, I get one caller (the loose guy of course) an A appears on board. Loose guy goes all-in. So, I decided to call, putting him on A rags. What do you know, he has AA, it was all over.
The guy was loose, and of course he could have hit 2 pair, or even a set, but I honestly wasn´t expecting AA, well, good for him, he took the pot.
Ok, now nobody is going to believe this, but it actually happened! Around 5 minutes later I´m at a different table, what do you know, I get AK off again! So I´m thinking to myself, come on, what is up with this? So the guy raises 4x BB, and I think, ok, I´m not going to re-raise, I´ll call and I´ll only play this hand if I hit 2 pair on flop or maybe even three of a kind. So I just called...
What do you know... A K on flop, and I finally smile a bit thinking ok, the nightmare is over with this AK hand. To my surprise the guy goes all in! I insta-call. Guess what? The son of a lucky mother had AA!
I could not believe this happened to me again in less then 10 minutes!
So of course I go to another table a little bit tilted... and what happens? First hand I get QQ. So now I become evil, raising 5x BB. I get called and flop was all low cards. Guy bets 30x BB, I re-raise him all-in. So the cards opened and he shows A9 off. What do you think happened? Nope, no aces appeared...
To my complete nervous breakdown, turn 9, river 9, his A9 beat my QQ with a runner-runner three of a kind.

Talking about bad sessions . . . Recieved my 20€ at unibet, played lowlimits till 50€, shot on nl 50like i allways do :S Impatience overcame me. First hand 99, raise 3.5 bb utg 4 folders, bb calls. flop 449 .. ( i think i dont have to talk to end) bet/rr/all-in/showdown: quads of 4s vs my nice fh, no joke, but ill change nothing about the bankroll=stack strategy

That first hand sounds kinda like what happened to me yesterday. I was in 35th place with 97 players left in the $6000 guarantee on UB . We all see the flop everyone calls I am in button position. The flop showed K95 I have KQ so I bet 3,000 this is late so blinds are high.bband lb fold , it comes back around the the guy UTG he raises all in. He has been playing loose. I call he has AA all over for me...lol. that close to the mopney I probably shouldnt have called but I play for 1st place.

Ah, that realy sucks dude. Everyone has their bad sessions. You should always try to lose as less as possible when luck isn't with you. Or even stop playing when you feel your not lucky.. but thats hard!

Posted by SicXre: You played ur first hand very bad,
I probably did, indeed! Do you care to comment and tell me where I went wrong and what you would have done? It´s always nice and positive when someone points out your mistake and show the solution or a better way...

The Fodz thats terrible. I am very sorry for you to having that kinda of a start to a session. But you know its just variance and the players like the 3rd hand that screw up a bankroll. So dont let this get you nutz.
What limits were you playing if you dont mind my asking?
