I haven't been on lately, hitting the time clock to work up another bankroll. Had a horrible case of the "run-bads" live and online. better than half of it was just horrible luck, the other part was not knowing when to walk away. I don't want to go into much detail but will mention two hands that describe most of that night. (1/3 NLHE) I have AA in middle position, was folded to me, I make it $20 to go, this guy on my left with crazy sideburns min raises to $40, everyone else folds, I push with another $220 on top, he insta-calls. I'm thinking he's gotta have KK, but nope he snap called with JTos. He flops a jack and turns a ten, which gave me a gutshot but I couldn't re-suck(?) out. A few hands later the same guy gets involved with a friend of mine, flop was Ace-garbage-garbage. Sideburns guy says "I don't think you have an Ace" and puts in a weak bet. My friend puts his stack in (around $150, which was only a lil over the pot) get's called and shows AdQd, sideburns tables his pocket ten's and like a firecracker hits his two-outer on the turn. This guy was playing tight but once he was in a pot, would never fold and ended up cracking everything... then I saw the 7th cardinal sin happening: someone tried to bluff him. I was thinking wow, crazy person. Sideburns can't fold, goddamnit! an hour later he filled up two racks and left with a grin from ear to ear.
As for online I couldn't get anything going, hold 'em, PLO, MTT's, SNG's, you name it. I showed a total lack of dicipline by running bad and playing harder with no results then just playing bad. I ended up getting drunk, punching a wall and putting in a "self-exclusion" for six months on full tilt, not sure if I would have gone to that extreme sober but what's done is done. I like Power Poker but most of the traffic is definatly cash games. I'm in the state where I need the low risk/high reward ratio so it's going to be tournaments for the foreseeable future. I put a hundred on UB last night (the max deposit through e-check), played a few $10+1 & $15+1.50 GTD's made a few deep runs and one cash which put me about +$40 for the night. It's almost 10am which means I've been up for nearly 24 hours and I go to work at 1 till 10.
On a side note, I feel freaking great. I've been eating better and exercising more. "running more to run better" I call it, they say exercise pumps more serotonin and dopamine to the brain, it's like drugs but doesn't cost anything.
