drowning myself is a game i play
just got back from playing at the weekly game at the small town bar I've gone to. I played perfectly (in my mind), and still lost.
Happens to me a lot.
The game is insane, so I play very tight, only play very good hands.
So I played exactly 5 hands apart from my blinds.
Here they are:
1)late position. J-9 offsuit. tried to limp in, but the position to my left raised, then it got re-raised, so I folded.
2) K-Ts I got all-in with this, stupidly. and lost.
3) Qh-Qd. Got all in pre-flop with this, had 3 callers, won it.
4) Js-Jc. This was later, in freezeout, so only 1 caller, with A-garbage. No ace, so I'm the winner, and knocked that guy out.
5) Qc-Qd. there was only 1 call until the position to my right raised $1200 on $300/$600 blinds.
I go all in, re-raising him $2100 more. He thinks, and calls with KQ offsuit.
Of course, a king fell on the river.
Only 3 cards to help him, and he gets it. Happened to me last week against Hoover, er, Alfred last week too.
Oh well. If that's the only way I get beat, I guess I can't complain. I get in with the best hand.
Christmas is coming, and I have much to do.
-Starting some real planning on the basement bathroom
-Starting some real work on building a kegerator flow meter
-Work projects are of course still a huge crisis with CES coming up. They just asked me to come back next week. Everytime I'm on the phone with these guys, and they say "We really need you come back up here next week", all I can think of is a polite way to say "I'm giving you the finger as hard as I can"
-I'm gonig to try let crazy to finish this basement between christmas and new years. I'm trying to recruit Jeff's help, but he's on vacation then, and who wants to work freelance while you're on vacation?
-Then I'm also gonig to try and build the poker table hoist that week too. yeah right.
