DEAD MONEY ON UB !!!!

So apparently I am really bad at poker. Or at least that is the way it has appeared for the last week. I haven't had a winning session in 9 days(since last Sunday). In those 9 days I have lost a little under 5k playing 2/4. I have been getting absolutely murdered. I haven't really stacked anyone in around 20 hrs of play. I think (hope) am I just running bad because I feel I am playing strong poker. Every time I have a hand I either get sucked out on or coolered. Got overset 3 sets in a row at one point last week. Here's a fun hand from last night that just exemplified everything that has happened in the past week. A set up finally goes my way only to get rivered.


gjakey: -- --
IDoUrDaughter: -- --
neverplayaa: -- --
tkirk12: Ac Ad
wbfinist: -- --
Sandybritches: -- --

Pre-flop:

gjakey raises to $14. IDoUrDaughter folds.
neverplayaa folds. tkirk12 re-raises to $48.
wbfinist folds. Sandybritches folds. gjakey calls.


Flop (board: 2d Jd 9s):

gjakey checks. tkirk12 bets $85. gjakey goes all-in
for $381.40. tkirk12 calls.

Turn (board: 2d Jd 9s 9h):

(no action in this round)


River (board: 2d Jd 9s 9h Kc):

(no action in this round)




Showdown:

gjakey shows Kh Ks.
gjakey has Kh Ks 9s 9h Kc: full house, kings full of nines.
tkirk12 mucks cards.
(tkirk12 has Ac Ad.)

I have totally lost confidence in my cash game that I have been working so hard on. Had been watching a lot of Green Plastic and felt soooo good last week after 3-4 good winning sessions in a row. But I really don't know what to think now. Don't know if I was running closer to expectation then or now. I guess I'll find out over the course of the next week or so. I am going to just continue and play solid(I think I'm playing solid) and hope things turn around. Will try and give an update later this week. GL
