And it got worse

Played a horror little session last night of around half an h our and managed to get crucified. Received way more than my share of premium starting hands, but they were systematically destroyed one by one. On one site I was running at a WTSD of 35% with a W$SD of 14% (I won one showdown!). On the other site I had a WTSD of 31% with a W$SD of 38%. (at least I won a few showdowns there …)

A few of the beats were just nasty beats that do happen rarely – set over set, 2 card flush over flush, others were me holding dominating hands, only for villain’s 2nd pair to hit, quite a few were horrendous chases by my opponents actually hitting, and I also made a couple bad plays.

I ended down around 50BBs for the session and didn’t actually look like getting up once. I think I managed a suckout on only one hand for the session myself, when I flopped 2nd pair and then managed to hit a runner runner flush to beat top pair. Interestingly villain gave me a free river card, so I guess its his own fault.

Anyways, it all started with this hand .. which won’t import correctly into a converter for some reason:
