Interesting

Here's an interesting hand. I'm playing $1/$2 at Absolute Poker (click link on right for up to $500 deposit bonus). I'm in the BB w/Ad5d. Under the gun (UTG) limps, MP dude raises. I call, and limper folds. Flop is AsKd4d. Nice, right? I check-raise, and he calls. Turn is the ooooh sooo sweet Qd. Money shot baby. I bet, he raises, I re-raise. Nice. Very nice. River is a Qc. At this point I think, "Hey, maybe he has AQ or KQ, or if I'm lucky, AK." I, like and IDIOT, bet out, he insta-raises me. I of course call, as he shows me KQos. I say "WOW, that hurt," as he rakes in a $27 pot. Christmas came early to that cat, and a nice kick in the junk for me.

Now I also realize that I probably shouldn't have called the raise from the BB, so maybe I deserved to get kicked in the nads.

The other hand that finished me off, I mean too the felt was this hand. I'm in BB w/AA (I actually was not at all happy to get it, seriously). EP calls and Button raises, I 3 bet it and both call. Flop is K63 rainbow. I bet, both call. Turn is a 9, I bet, MP calls, Button raises, I reraise, MP calls, and Button caps. I only have $2 left so I call, knowing full well that I'm toast. River is a 5, I check and call. The villain in the BB flips over 99 for a set of 9's. That was a really quick way to blow through $40 in 2 hands (which was basically all I played in the 1 hour that I played). After the hand I type sarcastically, "Well played." Dude says, "Thank you." The limper that folded said, "I agree." WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Not that anybody actually wanted to read this crap, but I feel a little better getting that off my chest. It didn't help that about 2 hours before this session, I got creamed for another buy-in at the 6 person max table in 20 minutes. I even had my KK beat by K4os. How could he have won, you might ask? He hit his 4 card flush. Oh, well he must have flopped the flush draw. No....the flop was QcJc6d. He had nothing. Brilliant play. Why is it that I can consistently book big losses, but can rarely book a big win??? Lately (since July) these kinds of ball-busting sessions are becoming more and more frequent. This is insanity at it's finest.

Keep on.......ah screw it. Poker sucks.
