First Post

Finished last major final project today. I was supposed to finish it last night and compile the paper for my group, but I got a bunch of text messages calling me a pussy for not going out. So I met up with all the other MBAs (after agreeing only to go out if they bought me several drinks) at Brother's. Long story short, no dinner 8 beers (all not paid for by me, 6 from friends and 2 from Miller Lite girls) and 2 tequila shots later and I am feeling pretty good. So I leave the bar with my girlfriend Clara, pick up a Gargantuan from Jimmy John's on the way home and pass out on the couch. Luckily I set my alarm for 6am and got up to finish my group's paper, which was due at noon. Everything went smoothly so I had plenty of time for poker this afternoon.

I sort of wish I didn't have any time because I ran like shit. I've been running really bad for the last week. I dropped about 5 buyins fairly quickly and then battled back to about even when I caught a frozen wave of suckouts and coolers. I ended up with the 3rd nut flush against the nut flush for a 200bb pot and that pretty much led to me ending the session and calling it a night. I'm pretty tired from drinking and getting up early so it's probably better off this way.

Here is the cooler hand I spoke of that ended my session.

Kings were very very bad to me today. I didn't even run into sets at all, just random crap like this hand.

Another bad beat with kings

I could post about 10 more hands where I get it all in with a set against a flush draw and they hit. I would estimate that I've lost about $1000 worth of pots over the last 2 days when I got my money in really good.

Statistically this is not the worst beat, but morally it was by far the most frustrating. Guy gets it all in on a rag flop with Q6 with no pair and no draw.

It's getting so bad lately that even if the guy has 2 outs and we get it all in on the turn, I'm sweating it.

I'm still managing to turn a small profit somehow over the past week. I'm up about 4 buyins over the last week. My bb/100 has really dropped off over this stretch, but I feel a huge heater coming on.

One last beat before I go....
