Last night at $100 on Bet365 (for the bonus), I had the following hand:

Get JT, limp in then call a minraise from the SB. Flop comes AJJ, so I'm happy. SB minbets, gets a few calls, I raise, he reraises, I can't believe I'm beat so I call. Turn and river we bet some more and I lose a bunch when he turns over AJ. Bleah bleah bleah.

I thought about that hand for a while and tried to work out a way it would turn out well. But there aren't any. There are no cards that could come that would let me beat him. I was totally drawing dead. And there are no bets that I can make that can possibly get him to fold. Thinking through the hand, I felt ... powerless, and really bad. No matter what I do, or what happens, I am only going to lose money. The more I struggle, the more I lose.

Then last night I had TWO long, long, long dreams about people who were completely all-powerful and were making my life miserable. In one of the dreams he was threatening me, I attacked him, but to no effect. At one point I think I even had a gun and kept shooting the guy and he just kept beating me up anyway. Nothing could harm him. In the second dream, the guy basically could move at infinite speed and he kept getting everywhere before I did, which mattered a lot for some reason.

I've had dreams before that were specifically about poker. But this was the first time I think I've had a dream that could so obviously be traced back to poker, but didn't have any actual poker in the dream.

Maybe I need to play a little less...

I have had a dream where I got the shit kicked outta me by gramma for putting worm's debts on me too....

I recently had a dream/nightmare that quad Aces were outdrawn by JTo that made a runner runner royal.

He raised UTG, called in one spot, I reraised the button with AA called by both. Flop comes AxAsQs, he moves in, other guy calls, I move in over the top for a small side pot with the cold caller. Original raiser had JsTx, guy in the middle had QQ. Turn was the Ks, river was the Ts.

The side pot was marginal, and no bad beat jack pot becuase only one of his cards was used. I went so ballistic that I woke up.

I don't dream about poker often, when I do it usually is less fun that playing in my wake.

I have dreams about pretty much everything, I concentrate on. My mind always seems to be working even when Im sleeping. I have come up with sollutions to some physics and CS problems in my sleep. Woke up at 4 am written them down and gone back to sleep.

My funniest poker dream. My ex is a morinig person, so one day, I wake up and she is of course already awake. She looks at me and asks me what a gutshot is. I look at her very confused. I guess in my sleep I was mumbling something about someone hitting a lucky gutshot on me.
