let's run the improbability drive

I made a mistake and I played against the same guy I played yesterday. I lost 13k , here are the hands:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5172914 I don't know what can I put him on, in this one I called and I lost. I'm not folding second pair with draw on 1/4 pot to stack ratio and he check raises turns with draws as well.

This was not the only HU I played today, there is another HU game and also some 6 max

I know his calling range in this one, so I thought I had the best hand 90% of the time. I hit my pair on turn unfortunately

I played a short 6 max table, there was an action giving guy so I was lucky I had two big hands against him:

Besides facing the top range of everyone, I am 30 k down in equity this month so far, I don't know why I am playing poker or if I will continue to do so...

worst possible run

it's been around 6 months that poker is going really really bad.

I'm more than 65k euro down in equity during the last 6 months (at least 65 k cause I calculated the mucked cards on boss as if the villain has the hand with the biggest equity possible and still I'm 65k down in equity). Only this month I'm 25 k below equity.

Well this is not the biggest of the problems. The biggest problem is that I'm always against the top of the range of people when I make a hand. I just ended a HU match against a huge fish who doesn't fold anything at all and I lost him 10 k. He raises 80% and folds 20% to 3-bets, he 3-bets 24% and folds 18% to 4-bets. He cbets %70 and folds %22 to raises on flop. and when vs a cbet he folds 36% on 3 bet pots. I played 6,7 k hands vs him and here are the big pots..

I made a 2 pair on a 3 bet pot against him:

if you think he is capable of folding KQ in a similar spot: a bluff attempt

I called his 3 bets on deep tables 35 times with pp's, I made set two times, first of them was check folded by him (one of the 2-3 times he did) the other one was below:

here is how my KK is crushed:

if you think he is able to fold any pair, don't:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170872

I couldn't fold this one, maybe I should have but couldn't put him to anything reasonable

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170877

here comes another hero call attempt by me, maybe you won't agree but I would call this against this guy if we play the hand 100 times more, I know that any pp pushes pf and any pair is pushing on the flop, this is full or trips only:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170883

here you can see an example of the usual line of the guy:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170892


yes he calls 4 bets and flops something nice:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170898


it's not possible to beat him

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170907

I thought I was finally lucky in this one:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170908


going all in with AK pf is a bit speewy against him

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170912

AA doesn't hold neither, a weird line by me, I maybe a bit on tilt on this one:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170918

did I say he doesn't fold to 4-bets?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170922


hey look I have an overpair, how would you like I lose this one?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5170927


well, this goes on a bit more with smaller pots and I didn't post the coinflips I lost, I won some hands as well but they weren't enough to cover my losses. The HU against this guy was almost a resumé of what is happening to me in general. This was just a little bit more intense.

My patience is at its end
