The worst day in poker

Today was the worst day I've ever had in poker. 8 out of 10 races I lost (a race is when you both go all in and you each have a 50/50 chance to win) and then everytime I had a premium hand, they got lucky on me.

Let me show you a few hands that weren't races today.

The Start

It started off badly here when I hit my flush but he had quads (I am redswiss27). I don't mind this hand so much except that it was so large a pot. After losing this hand, I played lower stakes because I didn't want to lose a lot:

Aggressive, sort of short stacked guy tried to make a move on me.

Hand Two


Again I have a premium hand against the same psycho, but he hits his straight. I managed to keep the pot small, by checking the flop and making an almost min raise on the turn for information. He bet out small on the river hoping I would reraise again, but I only called him down.

Hand Three


This guy was such a donkey. I can't believe he held on to his QQ when I made pot sized bets twice against 2 opponents. Needless to say after taking this pot from me and lucking out on some other guy he lost all his money eventually. Same thing goes for most of the guys who lucked out.

I played this guy perfectly and checked raised the turn, but he luckboxes on the river, which I have to call anyway cuz I'm pot committed so I made the bet.

Hand Six


I decided to be cute with this hand because the guy was aggresive so I just only called his preflop raise so I could really hurt him later. It worked, but he lucked out.

Hand Seven


This hand I don't know what else I could have done. I bet 10 so I could isolate just 1 guy, but 2 called. Then a scary flop called so I bet big to end it, but was called again. One guy was short so by then I was pot committed.
