I am on the coldest streak of my life. I actually took the time to calculate yesterday how much money I would have won if I had won every pot where my money went in as a huge favorite in this session alone....$3k!!! Instead, I lost $700.
The evening started out well. I lost a few small pots but nothing too damaging. Then I ended up chopping what would have been a $300 pot when someone caught runner runner to make the same straight that I had flopped.
The first big pot that I won was when I had limped along on the button with K/10d. The BB raised to $20. Why he only raised to $20 when there is already $30 in the pot with the limpers, I cannot figure. I call, I have position and getting 5/1 on my money. Flop is K88, 1 diamond. BB bets $25(into a $120 pot!), I have to call. Turn is the 9d. He bets $100 of his $150 that he has left. I ask for time. I figure at this point that I am behind...Im thinking that he has a bigger K. But I also figure that any 8, K, 10 or diamond will make me the winner(or chop with a K or 8) so I put him all in. He calls and shows K/Q. A diamond hits the river so that was a nice little pot.
I then proceed to flop the first of 10 sets of the evening. Only 2 of which hold up. I have pocket 9s in the BB. Flop is AhQh9d. I check, UTG bets, Button goes all in, I call. He shows K/3h and hits it on the turn. He apologizes and says that he thought that he had flopped it.
The next one is so sick....I have had nightmares about it since. I have pocket 66s in the bb. Flop is J64 rainbow. I check, UTG bets a pot sized bet and a very laggy button calls and I call. I dont think that I have anything really to worry about and decide to let the UTG take another stab at it. Turn is a Q. I check, UTG makes another pot sized bet, button calls, I raise all in for another $400 more. There is about $275 in the pot. UTG folds Q/J face up! Button calls. River is a 5. He shows 7/8...he called $400 on the turn with a gutshot. I ask him how he can make such a call with 4 outs and he said...'I was gonna bluff you if I missed' ...wtf??? I was all in...how could he have bluffed me???
Then I flop a set of 7s on an 872, 2 spade board, I bet, someone checkraises me, I put him all in for $250 and he calls with a flush draw and hits and once again, I dont fill up.
I did make some excellent laydowns. I laid down pocket Js on a 6 high board. He showed AA. I only lost the $25 preflop raise. I also lost the minimum($75) with pocket 10s on a 9 high board.
The guy had flopped top set. I flopped top 2 facing a bet and raise and folded. So, money saved is just as good as money won, eh?
So, I am down to $175 after being in for $1200. I pick up a few small pots then I get QQ and I raise to $30, 2 callers. Flop is JJ9. SB checks, I check and the button bets $60. I checked because I was going to get the money in regardless. I thought that the button might take a stab at it with A/K or a smaller pr if checked to but I did not think that he would call a bet. So, he bet, I move all in and he folds. So I picked up an extra $60 by checking.
I manage to win little $50 pots here and there and end up leaving with $500.
So, I am running bad and poker and running bad at life. One month ago, I was on top of both. I loved poker, was doing extremely well at it and my life was a happy one. What I wouldn't give to relive the past 30 days of my life.

Yes it will end, and I promise things will turn around both in life and in poker.
