Double bad beat. There is no bad beat jackpot at FTP. This hand would of qualified if there was one.

So far this month, I'm a small loser over 27k hands. I'm running terrible but it's nothing new. I just gotta keep on grinding and my hands will eventually hold up. Half the hands were at $100 nlhe FR and the other half is at $50 nlhe FR. I dropped back down to $50 nlhe FR to regain confidence. I also hired a FR coach. His name is Eric (Damn Ringer) and is a FR Pro playing at Cake and FTP $200 and $400 nlhe FR. I found him off of the CR Coaching Forum. My first coaching session will be this coming Thursday. I'm really looking forward to it.

I plan to take this month slow and really analyze my poker game. I'm in the process of reviewing my last 127k hands and will probably make a post about it. I think it's a good time to do that because I'm not running so well and don't want to put in too many hours when my confidence is low.

My poker goal this year is to be able to beat $200 nlhe FR. Mark that down, no more silly shots at higher stakes. Just a slow grind up to that level because with rakeback/bonuses, it's dame hard to lose at this game when playing your A game.


Good Luck

Very good idea to get coaching. Getting input from others who are better than you can only be a good thing id applied correctly imo. Damn Ringer is in my neck of the woods actually, pdonk used to know him pretty well, said he was a cool guy. I nevr met him though, was too busy with other stuff at the time to go out with them and meet him. It happens.

Brian is antisocial. GL with the coach, sounds good. Bet that flop.

Jason,

I would normally bet that flop OOP but there was a sstacker that was all in.

I think my c/r on the turn should have been bigger though because he could be chasing a str8 draw/flush draw.
