Is this a cold run?

[Sassy12U]

I was playing .02/.04 and I had KJ with .50 behind me. I was 2nd under the gun and it folds to me.. I shove which I think was a dumb move. It folds around to the big blind who calls me with 10/3. Hits a 10 on the flop..

Then I have 88. Flop QJ9...2diamonds... 5 ...3rd diamond on the turn.. He checks again and I shove. Calls with A5 no diamond.. hit's another 5... on the river after calling...

This must be a bad run because I don't know what to think lol

It was only a couple of dollars but it really made me upset because I don't see the reasoning behind either hand. I did make poor decisions, but it doesn't make their action right.

Hey Sassy, sorry to hear about your run. Obviously the shove with two eights on a QJ95 board will most likely be -EV, almost always regardless of pot size, especially in a multi-way pot. As for an opponent making a loose call with 10/3, whereas you did not outline the pot size, bet sizes, stack sizes, position, etc... I would still just venture to say that the cards just didn't run in your favor. In LLHE, you will encounter many of these daring calls, and it is out of your hands to fade a 5 or 10, without a J or K on board. That is a pretty standard loss as a favorite subsequent to the call PF, which is also out of your hands. You will see that in the long run these hands will eventually favor in your direction, keep your head up high, and getting it in ahead will ultimately be a profitable adventure. Best of luck. -HT

It's fantastic that you are seeing and trying to understanding both sides of a poker hand.

Both hands were played wrongly.... in certain areas.

Nothing to do with streaks.
