Live poker is a bitch no matter what JimmyJets journal title says. You play so few hands that getting AA cracked after waiting 8 hrs for a big pair is brutal. I cut the day short because I was off my game at the end. I was frustrated and wanted to call raises with all kinds of shit. When A7o starts looking good its time to go home.
In general poker is a game of eb and flow, you run good you run bad, you try to maximize value when you are running good and minimize loses when you run like shit. My timing is just off, I have been winning all the little pots that I normally do. This is just strung out in live poker, bad runs last many many hours and your biggest enemy is often times your own frustrtation. Playing for hours and hours and watching the bad players make all these mistakes vs everyone else and not get a hand is awful.
One of my best skills in poker is playing well in little pots and rating the value of one pair kinda hands. What is not going well for me is big hands. I have made 3 sets in my last 5 sessions, lost 2 big pots and won the limpers in the other. I am 0 for my last 5 times showing down AA and every time have gotten it in 3:1 or better.
I am just not hitting my hands at the right time, the 89s hand today was a prefect example, I just haven't been getting the hands at the right time and I have hit draws against players with marginal hands instead of cold decking their monsters. I played a card game with Devbert on Saturday its called killer. There is a small amount of skill but mostly its a coin flip. I won 6 out of 31 coin flips, that is how i have been running this winter break.
Totals today - $246 in 5.5 hrs.
PS I will never again text MVP saying "I am even yahhh me." I didnt win a hand for the next 2.5 hours and then left down. Thanks Seb Jr.
