I'm Officially on Vacation. Poker Sucks.
I am so completely discouraged right now. Last time I wrote I was pretty optimistic about poker. Now I want to quit and get a job as a taxi driver.Well, not really... but I am super stinking discouraged right now. Basically this is what has happened in the past few days.
I headed into the Bellagio, ended up playing 100-200, and blew $5k over about five hours. Worst part is that I was up somewhere in the neighborhood of $2k right off the bat, and then the bottom fell out.
Came back Friday for the WPT party at Light at the Bellagio. Played a short session of 30-60 and won $300ish, partied all night, and then got a call for a juicy 100-200 game at the Wynn. Several hammered 2+2 kids. Got up $3500, quit up $300. :Sigh:. Went home, lost $600 online.
Saturday I played 30-60 for about four hours. Lost $1700. The rest of the night was a blast though... a bunch of us went out and goofed off and eventually ended up playing drunken 2-4, where naturally I ran like God, winning over $100 including all the goofy side bets I lost. Breakfast, sleep all day, and wake up at 3:30pm to head into the UPC $340 event today.
I was instantly fired up. I was so in the zone. Every read was right. Every play was perfect. I was cruising. We started with 6k, and by the start of level 4 (100-200/25) I had 25k. By the 2nd break I had 45k. Went into dinner with 47k, little disappointing, but still good for third in chips with 27 left. I came back from dinner and the wheels fell off. For the next four levels, every single time except for three when I raised pre-flop I got re-raised. Exactly zero of those times I had a hand I could call with. The three times they all folded? I had a hand. I got sucked out on in a blind vs. blind hand where I flopped trips, got short, doubled up in a battle of the blinds hand when my A5 sucked out on AK, lost a race, won a race, got re-raised a bunch more times, and finally got busted when I had 43k on the 1500-3000/400 six handed when I re-raised with T T all-in pre and ran into AA. Twelve players left, top ten was money, top seven was TV final table. So freaking frustrating.
Anyways. Arrrg. Stuck somewhere around $24k this month. Can't win. I even lost two $5 freezeouts against my roommate Danny tonight playing pot limit 2-7 Triple Draw. I am going to take some serious time off, do some Christmas shopping, head home, relax, and who knows what else.
Peace and may you not run like I have the last 18 days...
