I officially do not have a gambling problem since I can quit for four months.
Hmm. lolz. Is that the golden rule?
I actually write a comments after I play, not post it until the next night sometimes because I'm fearful I won't remember exactly what happened. So, you'll understand what I mean when I say "tomorrows another day...etc....then below is a post for the next night".
Well, I was pretty tired and playing hands I shouldn't have Monday night. The only problem is that I dug myself into a slightly deeper hole after losing a few hands which I was rivered out by the 2nd pair hitting the board. Sick. Surrounded by the same people at more than a few tables early on Tuesday night and morning, I didn't see a high pair or could catch trips for crap. Nothing. I would call it drawing dead, but I would catch quads for the second night in a row? (I'm not sure about this, all the days are running together, one into another) with no one in the hand who had anything decent. When I did catch a hand the other players had crap. Kids trying to min bet steal, bet with crap and catch on the river after calling re-raises. Pfff. WTF is what I say. How or why are the kiddies up this late? Not that it's going to get me too down or anything, but I now remember why I stopped playing rings because I thought they were unbeatable. Tomorrow's another day, but hopefully I won't play too much, or at all, because I could be working more important projects. I finished Monday night recovering a bit, but still ending in the negative.
Fitting in a thirty minute session in the evening and hitting quads only gained me a few $. I'm currently playing the $10 No Limits, so nothing big, but a gain is a gain imo. As for Tuesday night, I hit quads twice. I was hitting pairs for the forty-five minutes I played non-stop at one table. Ok, it wasn't non-stop, but it was oddly more frequent then the painful hands I was encountering last night. I started off by pushing a pre-raiser, in one of the first few hands, on the flop when hitting quad 2's against his AKoff (Paired his K on flop). The first quad I hit was with one player on the flop, the short stack, in the hand had nothing again. eeeer. I have a feeling I would be getting a lot more for my money if I would do a full ring instead of the 6-seaters. But when can ya do. It's where I feel comfortable and don't have the time or care to attempt anything else at the moment. Anywhoo, I opened up a third table and took a seat making it 4/6 seats filled. Two of the players seemed as if they were trying to push each other around until, I was dealt a few hands, then they seemed to cool off a bit. A few hands passed and the one player who seemed to start up again. I decided to make a 910off call when he raised 3xbb pre-flop. I re-raised on the flop with a possible straight in his hand, two pair in mine. The turn gave me a boat and river quadded. 910j1010 on board. He must have decided I was trying to
bluff or possibly on the fact he thought I was betting with nothing, thinking he missed his draw. You've got me. The past two days I've must have quadded on the flop 3/4 times and been royally screwed because of the opponents hands. I wait until the river in a glimpse of hope someone had something to call even a small or decent size bet/re-riase with, but up to the last hand I mentioned, I didn't get their worth imo. I should really look into the ChuckT thread about correct betting amounts, etc...to gain max. $ on my play.... All-in-All, it's a surprise to be running this well again, so quickly. I'm calling it a night based on that, and the fact I'm pretty tired. Hopefully things will continue to run more smoothly than not. GL at the tables boys and girls.
