What did I do wrong to the ladies?



First of all sorry for the lack of updates recently.
October so far has been pretty bad. I'm running so bad lately....probably as bad as I was running hot 2 weeks ago. Today for example I really played very well, but I managed to end 2K down after being up 3,5K!
I lost 5 pre-flop all-ins in 30 minutes in which I was a favorite in all situations.

Probably did something wrong to the ladies, because it's really sick how unlucky I run with those. 3 times I lost with QQ vs AK pre-flop allin. 1 time I lost with topset vs flush and one time with QQ vs AA. Also lost with AA vs KK pre-flop all-in.
Obviously I didn't win one single big pot with the big pairs.

So enough whining for today. The hand below is an example of a hand where a lot of the players probably miss value by checking behind on the river. Betting here on the river, especially against a somewhat LAGgy player, should be standard, because it disguises your hand more and makes you tougher to play. Villian probably had something like JT and thought I had a K or a hand without showdown value.

Hehe, daar ben je eindelijk weer. Leuk voorbeeldje, je hebt volkomen gelijk, een heleboel spelers spelen dan ook veel te passief..

Tegen goudvis moet je zowiezo alles blijven betten, liefst met pot :D
