After my decent win on Thursday I returned Friday to be brutalized.
I finished Friday down -$735….
Suck-out stories usually aren’t productive, but I took a 6-out suck-out on Friday to lose a $1450 pot.
I was $700 deep in a very aggressive somewhat crazy game.
Mid stack casual player opened from MP+2 $25
I 3-bet to $75 pre with AA
A spewy LAG casual who I had been watching closely FLATTED from the SB, the mid-stack also called. The flat from the Small blind should normally indicate super strength. Something like QQ+, AKo. However, depending on this guys mood it could be something like 88+, AQo+
Pot is now $250.
Flop K 6 4 (no draws)
The small blind immediately shoves all in (he has me way covered). The mid-stack guy folded. I called. It was a snap call in my mind. I’ve already seen him make a super aggressive action with a weak-ish hand post-flop. I thought he probably had AK, there might even be more air in his range. I don't see him playing a set like this ever, and if he does have a set I'm just paying him off. It was $600 for me to win $1450.

Dude has KJo.
So that auto-ruined my week basically. I’m 87% to win on the turn, but failed to hold. It happens, but yeah that ruined my chance of having a decent week. A few pots like that and your live poker month is ruined, which has happened before. That’s the first really big suck-out I’ve taken in a few weeks.
In the first 37 hours this week I’m up +$170. I’ve played 5 nights in a row. Tonight will be my sixth. I’m going to try to find a game because it is a holiday weekend. Tonight could be like a normal Saturday’s action.
Monday/Tuesday probably taking off. I don’t remember the last time I’ve played 6 nights in a row. Tonight will be serious over-time for me, so I have to stay super-focused. I usually start tilting after the 4th consecutive night.
It's amazing that there is only a week of play left in this month.
