Not a single hand in 3 hours

So I went to play live poker last night. As soon as we sat down 5 handed I got some of the sickest cards back to back to back. First 5 card draw I got dealt trip 6s. Then 5card stud I got dealt an ace with an ace in the hole, which is a crazy good hand. Then Omaha I got quad jacks. I also got a few other pretty decent hands. I ended up winning 6 of the first 7 hands and I was up a buy in in 10 minutes.

Then I went on one of the coldest streaks I've ever seen. I couldn't even make a pair in Omaha. No draws, no nothing. For three full hours I didn't win a single pot. Luckily I very quickly realized I wasn't getting and hands so I tightened up and managed to limit my losses to usually no more than $1 per hand (not hard to tighten up when you get shit). So after three hours my $100 stack turned into $30 (buy in was 50) without winning A SINGLE POT. Then I one a decent pot from a 5card draw hand where my pair of aces turned into trips on the redeal. I lost a lot of that profit a few hands later in the same game where my kings up lost to a flush.

Then I didn't get any more hands. Finally we agreed one more go around of the table. With about 3 hands to go I was down to $15 and I got AAT4 double suited in Omaha. Basically 99% of the hands we play for Omaha, someone just bets a dollar preflop and everyone calls. So I checked and waited for someone to bet the $1, everyone called it, and when it came back to me I raised $3 more. The flop came 2 spades, giving me the nut flush draw. I bet the limit $3 every street and I was so confident that I was going to hit the nut flush on the river, which I did. That pot was about $37.

I finished the night with exactly my buy in. Fortunately we also do this thing sometimes where people chip in $5 at the start of the night and whoever has the highest hand of the night wins the pot. My quad jacks held up over the night so I went home with $15 profit. Not too bad, but I wish I got some more cards cause I was playing pretty well and this is a really easy table to beat.
