I think I found my personal poker hell

Everyone has something that just gets under their skin more than any other, and in terms of poker I definitely found mine. I sat down against a player HU, first hand he raises to 5 and I fold. Two hands later, he opens to five again, and I pop him up with AT, he calls and we see an A high flop. We end up getting it in by the river with my two pair vs his lower two pair. His starting hand? 73o!

So at this point, I search for him and see him at another table which I instantly sit at. This guy, in less tha 15 hands, has made it clear that he is an absolute donk. He bets pot when he has anything, anything! So, naturally I widen my range for calling on all streets and start to fire when checked to. I, initially win some money but nothing huge and then my opponent gets smacked in the face with the deck. If any other player makes some of the bets he makes, I usually fold, but I know calling him down light is the right play. He just is hitting better hands than mine. Nine times out of ten, I take multiple buy ins off this guy. But today, he over 3 from me. It was so frustrating.

And that my friends is my personal poker hell.

Good luck everyone!
