Sick bad beat

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 1181 hands and saw flop:

- a total of 168 out of 1181 (14%)
Pots won at showdown - 18 of 37 (48%)
Pots won without showdown - 68

Short, but tough session. I noticed a new player at the tables with a lot of aggression. Ill write about him later on in the post. He felted me and it was the last hand I wanted to play for the session. Bankroll is down to 155$.

So I limped with 99 UTG and got raised . I called and the flop was 677h. I check-called the flop. The turn is the 9h. Nice. I decided to slow play and checked. He bet again. I wanted to raise but decided it might just get him off the hook because at this point I put him on an over pair of some sort. The 8h fell on the river. I decided to go all in and get called instantly. He tables 5h6h of hearts for the straight flush. What the hell. Runner-Runner. One outer on the river. He did not have to do anything to get my money. Thats poker. Itll happen to me too someday. Hopefully. If not Ill continue felting. I do not like playing by winning like an idiot. You dont improve. You think you play well. That is not my kind of thing and understanding of how to be a consistent winner.

dawidmbb is a player I have not noticed at the tables. I sure did today. His profile does not impress me at all. His game in certain ways did. He always bet huge and fast. In one hand he was on the button and made a large raise again. I was in the small blind and called with As8s. Not a usual play for me. I wanted to raise at first, because I did not put him on a strong hand. This was my first mistake.
The flop came down 479. I missed and checked. He bet out huge again and I raised it even bigger. Now he reraised. I did not want to but I went all in and he instant called. He had flopped a set of 4s. The all in from me was just stupidity at brilliance. There was no way he was going to fold after he put in the reraise. I blew up and quit the session. Never play like that. Putting the bankroll at risk by flooding pots with unnecessary money is never going to win you anything. It will work once, it will work twice. In the same time you will get felted ten times. Great profiting. Not for you, but for your opponents.

Poker can always be painful. Others go through that pain too. Complaining wont help so you might as well suck it up and continue learning, learning, learning. It is the only way to get better.
