Some days I wonder what I've done to upset the poker gods.

[Alnoble]

$11+$1 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level IV (50/100) - 45 player sng
Table '284065043 1' 9-max Seat #1 is the button
Seat 1: Gimmidaloot7 (1135 in chips)
Seat 2: alnoble (1945 in chips)
Seat 3: theend4079 (1425 in chips)
Seat 4: haletj (3030 in chips)
Seat 5: DSSDSS (2040 in chips)
Seat 6: rikje50* (1745 in chips)
Seat 7: Ozott (1425 in chips)
Seat 8: thanh_le8 (755 in chips)
alnoble: posts small blind 50
theend4079: posts big blind 100
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to alnoble [9h 9c]
haletj: folds
DSSDSS: folds
rikje50*: folds
Ozott: folds
thanh_le8: raises 655 to 755 and is all-in
Gimmidaloot7: folds

This is a close call as I've not got that many more chips than the all in but from his table image
this could easily be a steal play or an Ax

alnoble: calls 705
theend4079: folds
thanh_le8: shows [9d 6d]

I was right a blind steal attempt.At this point I'm confident I made the right call

*** FLOP *** [Ah Ad 4c]

Got to be a good flop for me 2 pair and only 1 diamond. Runing diamonds a possibility

*** TURN *** [Ah Ad 4c] [6h]

No flush now I should be home and dry only a 6 can beat me now

You all know what's coming now

*** RIVER *** [Ah Ad 4c 6h] [6s]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
alnoble: shows [9h 9c] (two pair, Aces and Nines)
thanh_le8: shows [9d 6d] (a full house, Sixes full of Aces)
thanh_le8 collected 1610 from pot

Unfortuatly I tilted and went out 2 hands later. Should have walked away and sat out for a couple of hands.
Normally these sort of beats don't get to me I just swear and move on as I could have easliy built back up
as I still had 10 BB

some days we all wonder but what makes me feel bit more comfortable that even great pros have had periods and sometimes even long periods when all poker gods were against them, but sometimes you are on a bright side and sometimes not, but when it takes to long then it sucks

On the positive side you did make a great read on this guys desparation trying to steal the blinds. Its sick when they get caught with such a Bluff and suck-out. !!!

I don't know if it's practice but I found recently I'm getting better at reading the table and making better calls or more relevant better folds.

Although on the 4KP games I think one or two of you are getting to know me too well. I'll have to mix it up a bit.
