Played 700 hands and made only $100 playing FTP $2/$4 NLHE ($400 buy in). Players are really bad at this level, which is why it remains my bread n' butter. However, a good dose of bad beats really yank my chain. A couple outlined below:
(1) From the button call $44 re-raise with AA. Three players. Flop comes QJ3 rainbow. UTG bets pot, player 2 folds, I re-raise the pot of $265, all-in. Get called by KT (unsuited) drawing for the open ended straight. Miracle 9 on the river costs me over $850 pot, despite being a 2:1 favorite.
(2) From late position call $14 raise with JTcc. Flop comes 7s8c9c, giving me the nuts, nut open-ended straight flush draw, and J-high flush draw. Raiser bets the pot, bringing it to $70. I min-raise to $70. He moves all-in for $400 !?!? Of course I call to see 89, top two pair...BRILLIANT move you donkey. Well, the turn brings the 9h, completing his full house. I guess I'm the donkey. Another $900 pot lost as a 3:1 favorite.
(3) I limp in with A6hh from early position and call a $18 raise from the button. Flop comes As6c2c. Again, I get all my money in the pot after I raise the pot, and he moves all-in with As2s. Again, BRILLIANT move by this ass-munch....I was nervous about a set. He hits the 2 on the turn and 2 on the river for quads. $600 pot vanishes into FTP's "random" number generator.
If a blog isn't for bitching and complaining, than I don't know what it's for!

i think 2/4 will be my new bread and butter!
I've been playing a lot of omaha lately and outdraws there are even more common. Sounds like you already do it but I find that looking at the equity %s when the money went it (easy to do in poker tracker str8 after the hands) helps me from getting too tilted as as long as you're happy you played it good you can't be too disappointed
