The PokerStars RNG was having fun last night. I was back at the limit holdem $1/$2 shorthanded tables trying to earn some FPPs to get my WCOOP bonus from September back on track and the RNG was continuing to take the piss.
It seemed like every time I was in the Big Blind and was a facing a steal raised with a good defending hand, the raiser would hit a monster. 55 in SB versus me in the BB with A9. Ace on the flop and a five for the raiser and I end up paying off. Later on, same situation against the same player. Again I defend against his raise with an Ace. Ace on the flop but he hits his gutshot on the river. Argh.
But the hand of the night was this. UTG raises. He's pretty loose, well over 40% VPIP. I make a terrible call on the button with 65s. The board comes ten high and all in spades giving me a flush. Yee ha! He bets, I raise knowing that he won't put me on the flush. He calls. The turn is a another ten. he checks, I bet, he calls. The river is another ten. So if he had any piece of the flop, I'm toast. He bets and I have to call. He turns over AT offsuit without any spades. Yip, runner runner quads. I logged off for a bit after that. That session took my poor run to -$184 over 700 hands which is roughly -10BB/100.
After watching the Birmingham City - Coventry City match on Sky and an episode of Fringe, I returned to the tables and actually managed to win a few hands, up $50 after 130 hands which felt good. So now I'm running at -6.8BB/100.
It was raining quads at my tables last. I saw 4 over about 200 hands including another runner runner. Luckily I wasn't on the end of that one.
