I had a horrible Saturday in 3 live tournaments against some BRUTAL players. They don't fold, they play any A and love suited Ax, in fact they love suited Kx alot too. Saw what looked to be a pretty good player trying to run a bluff with a board that read AAJJx and 3 hearts. It was clear to anyone that there was a minimum of a flush draw, and likely a boat or even quads. the “good player” tried to bluff with 99 and the other player snap called with KK. The bluffer was tilting to the point of shoving with J7 just to get out of the hand. I now question how good he was because he couldn't adjust any more than I could. 

I was thrown off my game by villains constantly calling my c-bets, limping with marginal hands, raisng out of position with A3s. 3bets getting called by flush draws. I don't pretend to be a great player and I was so thinking of how I could cut up the room but by the same token I was completely card dead. I should have taken the time to think about the hands more and adjusting accordingly but I was too caught up in the tilt of the moment. How do you balance waiting for cards vs being selectively and appropriately aggressive. I ended up becoming super tight and getting to the point of having to shove with A8.
