Two big body blows

On Wednesday night, I suffered two big body blows to my stack in quick succession, and couldn't recover; the second one dropped me into poker death spiral territory, and I didn't have the strength of character to end the session before hitting the felt. I actually don't remember the hands, so I'll have to delve into the archives...

body blow 1: I was dealt 9c Ac. The flop came Ad 6h 3s, the turn was the 4s, and the river was the 3d. Three of us saw the river. I bet $5000; one of my opponents called, and the other raised it up to $21,200. I folded, and lost $11,400 total on the hand.

body blow 2: I was dealt 2d 3d. The flop came 3s 5h 4d, the turn was the Jd, and the river was the Kc. Four of us saw the river. The initial bettor in that round bet $11,000. I folded, and lost $7,400 total on the hand.

I played fairly well all night except for those two hands; unfortunately, that's more than enough of what it takes to lose. Back to the drawing board!

delta: $-40,000
balance: $832,695
