Rinse and Repeat

Won another 4 racks last night in the 20/40.  2231 to be exact.  Mostly a short-handed game for the latter part of the evening, although when the game was full, there was what I call cold-call alley.  Sye in 4, Guy in 5, and Kumar in 6.  It would often go raise someplace, and a cold call by Sye, followed by overcalls by seats 5 and 6.  Wicked game, with some tremendous bad beats.

I was disappointed in myself last night, in that I berated a bad player, after he sucked out on me 2 out of 3 hands in row, with bullshit hands.  I lost my cool, and I know it.  I eventually apologized to him, more for my own peace of mind, than his.  It was a sincere apology, and I hope he accepted it, but you never know.

I did play a hand atrociously due to this self-induced tight.  Luckily it only lasted the one hand, and I won it by the grace of the poker gods.  Wayne raises, Danny 3-bets, and I cap TsJs in the SB.  Flop comes 8 high, 1 spade, and I somehow lose my mind, and bet/3-bet Danny's raise.  Wayne called both times.  Turn was an ace, and I inexplicably check, and it checks around.  River is jack, and I have an opportunity to bet and make sure that my opponents don't see how bad I massacred my hand, but my dumb brain checks it again, and it checks around.  I roll the winner, and Wayne and Danny both groan.  Wayne claims pocket tens, and Danny claims pocket nines, and I have no reason to disbelieve either one of them.
