Bad Beats and Coolers

This entry is going to be completely dedicated to the beats that I have taken in the past few days. I know nobody wants to read my coolers and bad beat posts but it's my blog and I'll do what I want.

Started at 10c-25c
- I call a raise to $1 in the cut-off with 55 and then the worst and most annoying person at the table min-raises to $1.75 on the button. 3 of us call. The flop is 10-8-5. We check to the button who bets 50c. The other 2 call and I make it $5.50. The awful player makes it $10.50 and I push for $22.50. He calls with QQ. The river is a Q. -$24.65

- I raise to $1 UTG with 66 and the cut-off, the button and the SB all call. The flop is J-8-7. I don't see the point in C-betting, so it checks round. The turn is a 6. The SB bets $4 and I min-raise to $8. It's folded to the SB, who pushes for $23. I call and he shows 77. -$24.75

- UTG makes it 75c and I call in the SB with 22. The flop is 2-4-5. I bet $1.25 and He makes it $3.50. I then push and say "please call, I have a set". He does call, and shows AK. The river is a 3. -$15.75

I then moved back down to 5c-10c
- UTG limps, a very weak player UTG+1 makes it 30c and I decide to call in the BB with J9s. The flop is 10-8-7. He check to the raiser, and he pushes for $14. I call and he shows 77. The turn is an 8. -$9.60

- UTG limps. It is folded to me in the BB and I raise 88 to 50c. UTG calls. The flop is 8s-6s-5. I bet 70c and UTG min-raises to $1.40. I make it $4 and he calls. The turn is Ks. It's obviously possible that he has a flush, but he has less than half the pot left, so I put him all-in. He calls with 9s-5s and the river blanks. -$8.80

- I call an all-in with JJ. He shows KJ and hits a K. -$5.40

- I raise 5d4d UTG to 40c and the SB calls. The flop is 9-5-4s. SB bets 60c and I min-raise to $1.20 to see where I am. He min-raises to $1.80 and I am still confused but call. The turn is 10s. SB pushes for $13 and now I know I am ahead. I call and he shows 9s-7s. The river is As. -$13.55

- UTG makes it 40c and the worst player at the table calls (over a few hundred hands, he had seen 93% of flops and never raised pre-flop). I want to isolate him and raise my 10-10 to $1.40 in the SB. Just Weak-o calls. The flop is 10-6-4. I check, and he bets 50c. I know he will keep betting, so I just call. The turn is a 3. I check, he bets $1.10 and I put him all-in for $5 more. He calls with J5o. The river is a 2. -$8

My theory is that now I have gotten these bad beats off my chest, the bad run will end. Lets hope its true!

Bankroll = just under $1000
