Had my first terrible losing session yesterday. Played against a guy who was literally just a BRUTAL player but was hitting everything against me. I felt like I was playing a solid game, just every time I'd make a hand, he had something better. I river a straight, he rivers a flush -- I river 2pair, which also hits his straight draw -- I make a flush, he has a bigger flush....those sorts of things.
In heads up poker, these are all huge hands. Over the course of time, if you get your money in every time you have a straight or better, you're going to do well against only one opponent, it just so happened that last night this guy always seemed to have a bigger hand.
On the bright side though, I don't believe that I tilted from it or played badly because of it. I finally quit the guy when I was down 3 buyins to him, even though I feel like over time I'd have a huge edge on him, things just weren't going my way.
I ended up getting a buyin back from a couple of other players in pretty standard fashion so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Overall since I started hu, I'm still beating the game for better than 30ptbb/100. I have to keep that in perspective here -- that's a HUGE start to be off to - I can't let one bad session get me down. I'll be getting back on the horse tonight to go get some of that money back :)
