Snatching Defeat

After a nice run for several hours in the oh8 game, up a couple of hundred and one high hand money, disaster struck when new aggressive players sat down, raising often and getting lucky.  Finally escaped with small (one pot) loss.

Playing a couple of Turbosthis week, no luck there, losing my $20 bounty chips in 2 hands, the first calling a shove from small blind into my big blind with K/6 suited.  He had been raising light a lot so called with A/2. He hit a 6 to double up.  6's were my downfall as I shoved next hand with Q/J suited and called by big blind with 6/6.  Flop came down J/10/9 for top pair plus open end straight draw.  The turn a brick and he hits his 2 outer 6 on the river.  Ouch.  Went out in 16th place out of 35 players.

Cash game o.k., stuck to 3/6 limit and made $8 plus a free lunch.  Really need to play the 3/300 spread to make any money, mostly play the little game for the juicy Monte carlos.
