So everything was good and the sun was shining just 8 hours ago. I was talking to Ilari "Finlands worst chinese poker plyer" Sahamies on facebook about how I'm up 20-something thousand even tho my EV of is -13k this day. Well what went wrong? one word, buhar30!!! This fish first donked off a stack at ringgame, then came to challenge me at 25/50 HU table I was sitting at. He was 3betting over 40% of big blinds and I just figured this would be some easy cash, how wrong was I...

During the match I changed my opinion about him many many times, from fish to good player to at some point being 90% sure he was a cheater til the end when it became 100% certain he was just a big maniacfish. Well I need to show a few hands at first to not look like a complete donk in rest of the hands I show. He just made some sick retarded bluffs.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5262334 reasonably early in the match, this was one of the hands where i just couldnt decide between ingenuity and madness. When you actually start thinking more about it, it's not such a bad play by him on the turn, I could be bet/folding flushes, I'm rarely full with his blockers, I could be bet/calling a hand like AKQ6 etc..

some more bluffs:

they were just more and more sick or retarded even, but anyways, the beats started coming as well...

I was playing better than anyone could've:

2 perhaps bad calls but he was just 3betting and barreling off so I just felt like he couldnt have it everytime

and I just couldn't mfking hit it

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5262361 cmon will you stop with that set of queens shit already

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5262363

tilts me so bad to even have to watch at these hands again. So I ended up prolly losing around 40-50k to him, when he decided to take his money and leave for the 50/100 ring game, so obviously it filled quickly and I managed to get a seat. bet you don't have a clue what then happened...

this is when I realised he indeed was just a donk, still keeping a 3bet % of around 40 I think 6-handed, and 4bet range of 20%, so anyways:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5262371 pretty unbelievable..

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5262374 5 kilometres ahead of their range

I did manage to win a few lol:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5262381 just screamed out loud before throwing in the last 600 on the river

 

Ok so anyway, my holdemmanager shows this day as -48.8k, ev -59k which is easily my biggest losing day this year and cuts my hard earned winnings this year by more than half. Not only that but then I have to see the guy donking off my money to all the other regulars, which took him surprisingly long, perhaps even a couple of hours. So I'm now up 40k (117k ev) this year over 79k hands, and I'm really starting to feel like a rakeback pro. Days like this get me thinking if it wouldnt have been a better choice to just go to school and forget this game once and for all. Whatever, gonna have a 2-day break with just lots of drinking and working out until the sunday tournaments which are way more relaxing and dont feel like a grind. Who knows maybe someday I'll have to accept how bad I am and turn into a donkament pro.

For those who are still reading, On monday I'm leaving for a french heads-up tournament with likes of Tony G and antoine saout, and it will be televised to eurosport. There will also be a 1k side event and some 2k french open main event, full of french fish mmmmm... If I only could win one time to get me even...

Ps. BUHAR i challenge you to heads up!! BUHAR

GG off to bed, gl at tables
