The Table Nemesis
Permalink Posted 7:20 pm in Categories: Poker

You ever have one of those days where there is this one guy, who is at one or more of your tables, where no matter what you do, you just cannot win against him? Most often, it seems like he is playing badly, or at least a little more aggressive than is warranted. He might be running good against everyone, but it seems like it's mostly against YOU? Yeah, I've had a couple of those guys the last few days. Really sick when it happens in PLO and O8 where you might have them drawing to half the pot and they hit that miracle 3 outter.

Been running pretty close to even the last few days, but it was enough to come back solidly from a really bad session a few days back. More bleeding in HORSE, where I just can't seem to win on the river. Still up 11 buy-ins at 25/50 cent PLO, and I had a really good session of 6-max limit O8 today, despite having a table nemesis.

Also had a reasonably deep finish in the $3 rebuy last night. 86th or so for like $60ish. Luckily, I was only in for $9, so it was a decent ROI, but honestly, tournaments really don't thrill me, and I hate playing well for hours on end to only make a little back when you know if you just ran slightly better, you could be up by a factor of 100. That shit doesn't happen in cash games.

I had a guy like this the other night as well. I'd bet and he'd come in over the top like tripling my bet.
I had a feeling he had little but on FTP you never know. He kept this up and finally I had something to play. After flop I had outs like crazy, about 16, with flush, straight flush, and straight draws. I chased thinking I'd hit something and end result he took $10 from my stack.
