And like someone said before, PS wasn't being nice to me!

I ran pretty badly in big pots - lost several flips with a pair vs AK after pushing preflop. But the most frustrating thing was that I ran into 2 mega fish and was kicking them around, but then they both sucked out on me for huge pots and left the table. When I sat down they were both 2-3 buyins deep. Then I would stack them and we'd be about even. Then I'd get them all in with a huge lead and they would suck out on me for when I had 250BB or so.... then they'd leave the table. AHHHHHhhhh!!

Here are my big losses to the fish:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/339178 - I knew he would stab at the pot and he'd feel committed if I check raised him... damn.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/339180 - ok, this isn't AS bad, but it felt painful after slowly taking pot after pot from him to double up, then lose it all and have to start again!

I also had the worst misclick of my life tonight - I'm sure many can top it but for me it was huge cause I'm taking a shot here and every buyin is a big deal to me. Here it is:

Overall I think I played pretty well... definitely made a few mistakes but most of my big losses were either bad beats, bottom set vs top set, KK vs AA, or flips. And I lost a lot of those types of hands.

Graph's and stuff:

I definitely feel fine playing @ NL100. Just need to run better and cut out a few mistakes... Not sure if I will keep playing NL100 or go back to NL50. I started with 22 buyins figuring to drop back down @ 20 buyins (nice quick shot). Right now I'm at $2,085... If I felt like I was being outplayed then I'd definitely run back to NL50, but it really felt a lot more like bad luck. Overall felt pretty standard. Dunno. Thoughts?

a tip for starting players, i wouldnt use the EV program at all... its like 75% bullshit..
ive never touched it and look how far ive coem!! (lol joke) but yea, it might lead u to overlooking leaks in ur game with thinking your being bad beated all the time.

Its hard to make a easy buck legally, its impossible to make a easy buck morally.

hey, i reckon keep playing NL100 if you are feeling comfortable, and stop when you fall between 18 and 17 buyins

EV is saying u shoulda made profits and EV doesnt lie

Milk: theres nothing wrong with EV haha, program works perfectly fine. 75% bullshit? what do u mean?

hahahaha!

How do you completely miss the fact that it was a misclick? lol

Milkman, I didn't just look @ the ev graph and say "hey I got sucked out on!" I look through all my significant hands on PT after I play. I got stacked 10 times last night and only 2 of them I felt were mistakes - one I had overpair vs a guy hitting a set and I I got it all in on the flop, BUT my first instinct was that he had a set, then I talked myself into thinking he might have a hand I beat... I really coulda avoided that loss though. The other mistake was pushing an OESD into a guy who had quads. =)

Anyway, point being that when I looked at all my losing hands last night (I looked at every hand where I lost more then 4$) a VERY high majority were bad beats or things like pushing preflop with KK vs AA or hitting bottom set and getting it in on the flop vs top set. I definitely made mistakes and leaked and I've noted those down (gonna post em today and ask for advice, didn't last night cause it was like 5am).
