Unfortunate

After a solid session yesterday that ended with something of a downswing, I was almost through another solid outing today when I suffered what in terms of sheer dollar amount (comparing AIEV$ vs actual $), is my biggest beat ever. As you might imagine, the hand was played at a 600NL table. I mentioned in an earlier blog post that I felt fortunate most of my runbad has occurred at 100NL versus 200NL and 400NL - with the caveat that over a very small number of hands I have run pretty awful at 600NL. I pulled up my 600NL stats for the year, and I indeed am out 500bbs of AIEV in a measly 4600 hands - that's getting close to $1/hand! 600NL results on the year are below, followed by the HH:



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6.00 BB (7 handed)
Hero (BB) ($580.20)
UTG ($183.70)
MP1 ($599.40)
MP2 ($331.05)
CO ($126.30)
Button ($111)
SB ($529.90)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♣, A♠
UTG calls $6, 4 folds, SB calls $3, Hero bets $33, UTG calls $27, SB calls $27

Flop: ($99) 4♦, 2♠, K♠ (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $72, 1 fold, SB raises to $150, Hero calls $78

Turn: ($399) 6♦ (2 players)
SB bets $180, Hero raises to $397.20 (All-In), SB calls $166.90 (All-In)

River: ($1092.80) 10♦ (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $1092.80 | Rake: $3

Outcome: SB won $1089.80

If you plan on sticking around the midstakes plan for much bigger losses than these - do you ever play deep stacked poker?

My personal largest pot lost was $1920 on Bodog 2/3 NL.

I turned the nut flush against top set, got it all in, and the river paired the board. Weeeeeeee. That was 2008 and still feels like it happened last night.

Actually, I retract that - I used to play up to 10/20 NL On Bodog so for money lost the pot I referenced was modest.

But for BB's lost 325 or whatever they were is still my personal record. Hoping I never break it.
