Rounders, Inc.

My wave of frozen cards continues. It is incredibly frustrating when one begins to run bad after running so good.

One of my rounder friends, “B”, is going through the same tundra as me right now.

I got unlucky on my first hand yesterday. Flopped a set against someone who could not fold Aces. She rivered the case ace for a better set.

Had pocket tens beaten by someone who flopped top two with A-Q.

Then, I started to play bad. Flopped bottom set and folded to a big bet that represented a bigger set. My read was wrong, and it was a bad fold.

On my last hand, I had trip 4s. Folded to a big bet that represented a straight. Turns out it was top pair only. Bad read and worse laydown.

They say that when you are going through hell to keep on going. I hope I am in the final stretch of the cold deck.

Talk about cold decks! Last night, it was frozen solid.

Here is pretty much what happened during a four hour session:

1. Q-Q: no callers pre-flop
2. 9-9: flopped a set but beat by a flush
3. K-K: no callers pre-flop
4. K-Q: no flop - had to fold
5. J-10: no flop - had to fold
6. A-Q hearts: took down small pot on flop with straight and flush draws
7. K-Q: no flop - had to fold
8. 4-4: all paint on flop - had to fold
9. 6-6: beaten by set of 5s on flop - had to fold
10. A-J: beat by A-A

Between blinds and missed flops, my entire stack evaporated in this session.

Hopefully tonight will be a better night!
