Someday I'll get to see a naked woman

Another hand that I though I fvcked up. 3 handed game, same as the link above, solid button folds, fish makes it $60 in SB, i call in BB with A8c. Flop is 9-7-2 with 2 clubs. Fish pots for $120, I make it $360, he calls. Turn is an offsuit ace. He checks, I check. River is something I can't remember, but nothing important. He pots. So, I'm up against the calling station guy that thinks I bluff a lot and he leads out. Gee, I wonder if he has a good hand?! Oh well, I'm dumb and call and he shows A7 for aces up. Congrats to me on donking off money. Sigh. Stupid mistakes will be the bane of me. This hand combined with the one above made me quit for the night. I don't think I was playing close to my best. I was basically playing just to get hours in. Honestly, that's a good thing most of the time, but not when I'm really feeling at the bottom of poker ability. I need to learn to play when I don't feel great but don't feel awful, and at the same time, I need to learn to differentiate between feeling OK and feeling bad.

From Monday to Wednesday I was having my best week ever. Since I'm down about 14k. Still up for the week, but fvck. Tonight I got flush over flushed and KQ vs 22 on QQ22x board. Tite. Yeah, no real other reason for this post than to bitch.

It's been over a week since I played poker and I felt a little rusty today. Not so much that I thought I was making bad decisions, but more like I was a little unsure of myself and it took a bit longer for me to think about what I wanted to do. I dropped a bit less than 5k today. I'm thinking it was just the usual downswingy stuff, but there's a bit of second guessing going on. Didn't play a ton today though, and that might be a good thing. Gonna relax the rest of the day and put in some solid hours tomorrow. Also gonna tighten up a bit so that I can feel more sure of myself. After that, back to the usual I hope.

The one hand from today...

His flop raise confused me. It's a small raise with everything considered. That almost always means he has a monster or he's testing and doesn't want to put too much in, like a weak ace or flush draw and whatnot. I figured it's tough for him to have a huge hand since the only huge hands are 22, A7, and A2. I legitimately thought for a while and then figured I'd be better off playing it as though I had a draw and attempting to sucker him in on a non spade turn. Unfortunately the hit the turn and when I checked, he checked behind. The river was an offsuit ten and I value bet a bit, he thought, then folded. I think most will say it's a reraise on the flop, but I'm not really sure. I like my thought process, but then again, the whole second guessing thing makes me not sure.
