When Running Bad Turns To Playing Bad- Part I
Posted on January 26, 2009

Sometimes my love hate relationship with poker turns to pure hate. For the past two weeks I’ve been playing cash games and it seemed as if I couldn’t lose. I was bluffing at all the right times, I was betting my draws (and hitting them), and I was making sick calls against my opponents.
Maybe my ego got the best of me, or maybe luck just can’t last forever. I say this because after two weeks of non-stop winning, now I am non-stop losing. Instead of bluffing the right players, I’m bluffing the unbluffable.
You know the kind…the guy that came just to play some cards with his buddies and thinks that top pair crappy kicker is the nuts. Instead of hitting my draws when I bet them, I am missing all of them. Yesterday, I had top pair and a flush draw, the turn gave me a gut shot, and I still lost against bottom set. Instead of winning with my flopped sets, I am getting killed by flush draws on the river. On top of all that, after I spend hours missing every flop, I am having a hard time laying down top pair top kicker even when I know I am beat. It is a case of playing bad because I’m running bad.
