Bust

-$800

Went busto tonight at Bloomfield. I'll give hand summaries to how it happened.

First major pot that I lost was after I was moved to the main game. Stacks were pretty big and there was a live straddle almost every hand with the occasional $10 re-straddle.
UTG makes it $15 to go and 6 or 7 people call. I have K7d in the sb so i call as well. Flop comes QJ6, with 2 diamonds.
I check, utg bets 15, 3 callers and i re-raise to $75. UTG calls and everyone else folds.
Turn is a black Ten giving me some extra outs for an open ended straight. I moved in for my remaining $80 but unfortunetly that Ten also made my opponents straight since he had 89d.
River was a blank and he scooped that pot.

After this i reloaded $300 more and was in for $600. The game had taken a turn and now almost every hand was 1-2-5. I picked up some chips the next hand and was up to $450. The deck hits me pretty cold and i can't pick up 2 cards to connect a flop with to save my life.
After missed flops after missed flops i pick up 99 in EP. i make it $15 and it goes 6 way.
Flop is 8d 4d 2, pretty good flop for me. checks around to me i bet $40, which was way too little. I should've made a close to 3/4 pot size bet. i get 2 callers and the turn is the 3d putting 3 diamonds for a possible flush. 1 guy checks, i check to the other one that's left in the pot and he checks as well. River comes a 5 so now the board is 8 4 2 3 5, checks to me i check and another guy checks. Sb shows 67 for a straight.

After that hand i dwindled down to $300 and couldn't pick up anything. Finally, towards the end the following hand comes up.

There's a live straddle and everyone limps, game is 6 handed at this point. The straddler makes it $30 to go, $25 more. Everyone calls so i call as well with J6d. I know, pretty loose but i was getting desperate and there was good action.
Flop comes 6 3 2, 2 hearts. the preflop raiser makes it $100. One guy calls all in for less, i think he had around 50. I pushed for $215 total, thinking maybe my 6 is good and that he has 2 overs. He called and showed A6.
Probably didn't have to push and could've waited for a better spot = /

After that i had $200 left and got up to take a breather. For some reason I bought back in for $200 more, hoping I could turn it around. I should've known better and just called it a night.
My next hand i have Q8c and I limp utg. cutoff makes it $20 and sb calls so i call. Flop comes Q J x, sb bets $50. I decided to move in for $180 total, $130 more and he calls with KK.
I gotta admit, he disguised it pretty damn well.
I guess it was tilt that got the better of me but it was a pretty loose and wild game as well. People were winning pots with AQ high on the river for $300+ pots.

So it looks like i'm back to the drawing board. Pretty damn frustrating and I'm even more upset that i lost $300 of which was eng's. I had a nice $660 win 2 nights ago but tonight got the worse of me.
Sigh, i guess that's how it goes.
