Well, it was a pretty short day for the wadster, mainly due to a 7-hour gas station shift being stuck in the middle, but I still managed 5 hours. Kinda wish I hadn't, heh heh. My earlier session netted me about $100 despite being outplayed viciously by piers on a couple occasions (and, in all fairness, sodomized viciously on a couple other
)...my post-work session, well, it was just ugly. Quick rundown to follow!
QQ cold-called by 65o, who flops two pair.
JJ called by 64o outta the BB...flop is T-9-5 and he pulls a lovely runner-runner 3-7 job to beat me.
KK rivered by 99 in a nice $141 3-6 pot.
ATo (shut up, peirs...I know, I know
) rivered by 99 in a $94 5-10 pot
JJ yet again...this time 84s flops an 8 and turns a 4!
I should note at this point that my opponent was the same damned guy in the QQ hand and both JJ hands.
Ugly stuff indeed, and a session result that certainly shows it! Lost a bit over 200 in my night-time session, so about 100 down for the day. And hey, with the way this week has gone, I really ain't gonna sweat a $100 loss! Especially because I feel I played well and avoided tilt during all this nonsense...frustrated a couple times, but for the first time in quite a while I actually had enough distance to kinda just laugh about it.
I think that really just shows how important it is to have a nice, cushy bankroll. About a month ago, my bankroll and checking account were both in such dire straits that I couldn't afford to move down in limits, nor could I afford to have a losing week! That's a lot of stress pressure to be under (self-inflicted stress and pressure, I grant you), and it's also something that I never want to have to deal with again. I feel really great about my play right now, and even better about the fact that I don't need to win every time I play. I may be on a pretty nice rush right now, but let's not discount the peace of mind that comes with not NEEDING to be on a rush just to scrape by. As Roy Cooke would say, life is good.
