Frustrating!
I have just found out that if you never hit a pair when playing heads up, you will lose a lot of money. I just played a total hee haww heads up 20/40 and lost about $1600 to him in less than an hour before others started to sit down. I decided to call it quits after after that blood bath. I was also playing another 20/40 table and lost another $800 at that table.
This player is usually the type of player that I profit so much from. He limped almost every sb and he called my raise out the bb every hand. The problem was....I COULDN'T EVEN FLOP A PAIR any hand, and the hands I did hit a pair, he usually had the nuts. 2 out of the last 3 hands I played, i was dealt QQ and KK in the sb. With QQ I raise and he calls, flop was KJ4, he check raised the flop and I called him down. He flips over K6o, nice hand sir. Two hands later I have KK in the sb, I raise he calls, flop A69, he check raises flop and I call down. He flips over A2o. Nice hand sir. I guess that is poker and that is when I need to call it quits for the night, if not for a few days. I hate to walk away from my money at a table, but when things are this cold, I have to call it a night.
Man, being a poker player can be frustrating! Time to count my blessings and go to bed.
