I'll get me coat...

Sometimes you just have days like today.

Earlier on i went out of a £200 guaranteed with 88. I raised to 5x (1000 points) big blind and got called.

Flop comes up 245, villain shoved all in and i called.  
He had played with 75 suited and had pushed with 55. Unbelievable

Even more unbelievable is that the turn comes up another 5 and i'm out  

No matter, on to the next... 

I lose a coin toss with QKs to a pair of 2s who had pushed pre flop, so i'm out of that one too. ho hum. 

Taking that on the chin, i enter the £250 guaranteed and am sitting pretty when the cash is reached ( top 20). 

I get KK and raise 5x big blind utg(2000). The button (very aggressive) shoves all his chips (21K), as does the big blind who is short stacked. Thinking the button is on the steal or has middle pocket pair at best, I call with the rest of my chips (8K) and am dismayed to be up against the button's AA and big blind's AQ. So i go down to that as well.

Having nearly thrown the computer out of the window, i reconsidered and wondered if anyone else has had consecutive runs of misfortune on the same night?

Some night's you just have to hold your hands up and say 'it's not my night!'
