Variance

So my comeback continued for a couple of days, having a 1k day on friday, then making about $400 the weekend. I was uber confident that I was gona crush this week and make a bunch, but pkr has other ideas and decided it was time I started running bad again. These 2 hands happened straight after each other.

I 3bet a fish with QQ on the button vs cut-off open and get snapped called and then get it in on the flop for a $500 pot on K Q 10, and get shown J9 and obv cant boat up. Then i 3bet the same player with JJ get called and lose to QQ on QJ2. Then my last hand of the session I got it in with KK vs A10s after Iv 5bet shoved and lose at which point I started to break everything around me. By the way it really hurts when you punch a wall.

I think I know where Im going wrong.... not calling 3bets out of position with Jack fucking 9!!!!!!!!
And folding A10s to a 5bet must be terrible. Im obviously not on their level. I should ask these players for some lessons.

Fwiw the guy with A10s is a decent player and I like his 4bet with it vs me in that situation. Its a play I like doing in certain situations vs decent regs for various reasons but once Iv shoved he's getting about 1.8-1 and he's at best 30% vs my range so its such an easy fold, its not even close imo.

Im annoyed that I didnt quit alot earlier than I did. As a rule I usually quit if I get stuck by 2 buy-ins, but I felt like I was playing ok and not tilting. In hindsight I dont think that was the case and I probably gave away a ton of money. Ill go through my session in holdem manger when Iv calmed down a bit.

This is what really pisses me off. I really hate playing badly and giving money away unnecessarily. Getting coolered in set-up spots I can deal with. I know that in the long run the luck will even itself out in these spots. I can admit that overall Iv probably run above expectation the past couple months. Most poker players never admit that they've run good, they only ever run bad.

Might have a day off 2moro, ill see how I feel. Going to thorpe park fright night wed :) cannot wait for that. Then defo back to the grind thursday and try and crawl my way out of the hole Iv dug 2day.
