Worst fold of all time????

Don't have too much time, so the goals post will have to wait, but i may have made the worst fold of all time. Playing .50-1nl...guy in middle position whose stats are kinda tight makes it 3.5...i have 77 so i make the call...guy in BB re pops it to 13...original guy calls, and so do i...flop comes J 7 2 rainbow...Guy in the BB bets 35...and immediately the original raiser pushes all in for like 100 total...now its on me...i should've just snap called, but i started thinking...the guy in the BB clearly has AA or KK...but the other guy...wtf could he have to push...one hand comes to mind...JJ...i went into the tank...there is now way he would do this with anything but JJ since he was a tight player...If he had AA or KK he would not have smooth called that 3 bet from the bb, he would've raised to get me out of the hand...so...after timing down to 1 second...i muck...BB calls the shove with AA..guy in the middle had his set all right...of FUCKING 2"S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would've been over a $300 pot, and i fucking mucked the winner...there was only 1 hand that beat me...one hand...and i deciede he has to have that.

Any thoughts on this hand would be much appreciated. I mean, my read was right, he has to have a set in that spot, but i just didnt think he'd have 22...his stats were so tight, im actually shocked he called the 11 re raise pre flop with 22...oh well, ended up having over a $200 day anyway, so it doesn't sting as much...but it still stings.

July Review: One gigantic waste of time

Well the title about sums it up. Just under 50,000 hands on fulltilt this month, and a whopping $47 to show for it. I guess it could've been worse, i could've quit for the month around hand 30k and been stuck amost a G. Grind doesn't even begin to describe this month. As you can see from the graph, July 1st started out shitty, and it really never got any better. I ran like complete dogshit the ENTIRE month. Bad beats aside, i probably got set over setted like 10 times at least, lost nearly a 300bb pot AA vs AA and numerous other 2, 3 and 4 outers hitting on me with all the money in. I'm really hoping to just put this disgusting month behind me and start fresh in August. Like i said last post, if things don't turn around ( how aboout i just run average for a little while, i'm not even asking to run gooooooot) i'm seriously gonna have to score a real job sooner then i planned on.

Ok, enough bitching...the good news...i TECHNICALLY made $740 this month. Factor in the $400 i got in rakeback this month, and the $300 mid year bonus from fulltilt, i ended up turning a profit, in what i hope is the worst month i have playing poker (knock on wood).

I think i'm gonna start playing 6 100nl and 3 50nl tables for my standard grinding session, and when i hook up my mouse and play 12 tables, i'll probably play 9 100nl and 3 50nl tables. This month i bascially lost $500 playing 50 nl and won $500 playing 100nl which is pretty crazy. I'm bascially on a 10 buy in downswing from 50nl which is really sickening, and i think i'm ready to move strictly to 100nl. Maybe come Sept. i can put the 50nl days behind me. I feel very confident playng 50nl but just ran like ass all month. Plus i think its a sign to move up when i'm getting pissed when i hit sets on one of my 50nl tables instead of the 100nl tables...we'll see...

I actually started playing a bit on stars again this month too. I basically played to get the few thousand pts i need for the tv. I ended up winning about $120 playing some omaha8 (which i think i'm gonna have to start dabbling in again) and cashing for $90 in that end of the month tournament, but in my grinding, lost about $200 playing hold em to pretty much breakeven for the month. I do like the stars interface better, but i really feel like the fulltilt games are softer...maybe its just me. Well, that, and i have WAY more people in my database with stas on fulltilt then stars, so my hud isnt very useful on stars.

Ok, enough babbling, maybe i'll post some goals for August tomorrow, and actually go over my july goals to see if i hit any of them...

SHIP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ship my new SICK 50 inch plasma tv courtesy of pokerstars. It looks like it finally has payed off grinding all those hours on stars. I spent ALL my frequent player points (fpp's) after initially saving for the $1000 vacation voucher, a last minute discussion with the g/f changed my mind, and i opted for the tv instead. An FYI to anyone using their fpp's...don't buy the tv's straight from the pokerstars store. Buy the $1000 giftcard and you can get like 3x the tv you could from the stars store. Just my oopinion. So yeah, i'm pretty jacked about this...it's suppose to get here tuesday or wednesday, so i'll let you know how it looks.

I'll do my month review either tomorrow or friday, but my God has this ever been a frusterating month. I've put in the most hands BAR NONE ever for a month, and i had one of my worst months in a long time. Today alone i lost AK vs AQ all in pre flop 3 times...AK vs A9 all in pre flop...AK vs 22 all in pre flop for a huge pot (donkey pumps like 80bb pre flop with 22), lost AQ vs 78 all in pre flop...this was a fun one too, and lost KK vs JJ all in pre flop 2 fucking times!!!! And lastly, i was set over setted for a $200 pot AND lost the nut fullhouse to quads. I can't wait to get a real job and go back to playing poker in my spare time.

Ship the Garmin GPS unit from the fulltilt store. I ordered it on Tuesday....it said 6-8 weeks for delivery which SUCKS, but i'm hoping to get it within the month. I really wanted to save my points for the sick plasma tv, but i figured January would be the EARLIEST i could've gotten enough points for it, plus once i actually deciede to get a job, the days of playing 3k hands are over. Living in a new city, the GPS is probably a good idea anyway.

So yeah, even if i post a break even month (which i don't think i will, i figure i've got 2 weeks left to turn it on) at least i got something out of fulltilt for July.
