Speed Bump

I hit a speed bump this week: back-to-back sessions of running bad.

Fortunately, the cold deck was relatively short lived.

I hit bottom on this hand: I have A-K spades in late position and limp in.

The player on the button makes a position raise to $20. Everyone folds around to me. I call.

The flop comes A-6-6. I bet $20.

My opponent pushes all-in for another $80.

I insta-call.

He shows J-10.

I smiled.

The turn is another 6.

Cinch hand for me right?

The river is the case 6!

We both chop the pot with quad 6s and an ace kicker on board.

Nothing like going from a 98% favorite to win to 0% with the case card.

Things turned around later in the day, giving me a profitable session.
