Same old story, flop top pair and get raised on a two-tone flop. Never have any clue what to do. I switch to check/call and I think the turn and river are pretty good cards for me given that this is my plan but obviously he rivers a set.
This is just terrible by me. After I get called on the flop I should pretty much be shutting down since I'm only ever getting called by better pairs. After this hand it was like I woke up from some hypnotic state with only a vague memory of what happened and no memory of my thought process past the flop. Maybe this is the way I tilt and I was tilting after Hand #1.
Not sure if I should be 3betting here but folding JTs to a button open seems bad and flatting and playing it out of position also seems bad. I got really excited on the flop because I flopped two pair but in retrospect it's fairly obvious that this is a terrible flop for me because a lot of his preflop raise and call 3bet range either has a set (TT-QQ) or a straight (AK). The turn is terrible for me too because his AQ, KK, and AA are now also ahead of me. I should probably be shutting down on this turn as well but I was irrationally exuberant with my two pair and I fire on overcard turns in non-3bet pots out of habit so I looked at stack sizes and shrugged and shoved. He showed up with QJ which means he's almost as retarded as I am but just a tiny bet less retarded and that tiny bit is enough to win.
I'm playing really badly and feeling lost and out-of-control. I'm beginning to feel physically sick and violent as I lose this big hands. I feel like it would be a shame if I'm actually a good player and I end up quitting because of a downswing but it would also be a shame if I went broke playing online poker and I'm not sure which is more likely any more.
