And I would love to say it was bad play. But honestly, I was just getting violated.

As an example, in one hand the UTG player raises 3xBB and is min-reraised by the guy in 2nd position. I call from the CO with 77 (willing to lay it down if the UTG played raises again but thinking we might see the flop for this amount). The blinds fold and the UTG player just calls.

Flop: 3-6-7 rainbow. Top set on a very dry board. I expect the two UTG players (or at least one of them) to have big pairs and to get some action from this sort of flop.

UTG player bets, UTG+1 raises, I call, UTG raises, UTG+1 goes all-in, I call (hoping to trap UTG into betting again so I can shove)... UTG raises again, and I finally shove.

UTG turns over 4-5o. UTG+1 had A-A (as was reasonably expected). The board doesn't pair and that's another 125BB down the drain.

A-K on an A-K-8 flop against 8-8. K-K against 7-7 (he was short stacked and we ended up all in pre-flop)... flop is 7-x-x. J-J against T-T, on a T-baby-baby flop... he'd just called the pre-flop raise and only had 35BB left behind so calling the shove after my continuation bet was pretty much unavoidable. Q-Q from the SB against the BB. I raised 3xBB pre-flop... called... flop 2-3-4. I check, he bets. I raise... and he just calls. I bet the turn. He calls. I bet the river, he minraises... I call to find him holding A-5. And so on. It was just an ugly night... where every time I had a hand I was out-flopped or beaten on a later street.

I need a beer... and some time. I can recover from this (shouldn't be hard) but man... what a bad run. I did end up leaving with 280BB in my stack (the table was weak as you can imagine and should have been profitable if I wasn't so unfortunate) but 334 hands is like 4-5 hours of play... and it's time to call it a night.
Looks like you've had a mild night at the freerolls
