Stagnation

Not a whole lot of news - played like 1200 hands today and made like 20 bucks. I got pretty unlucky in some crucial spots, and frankly could have played better. A few sets were flopped against me, but I feel that I'm capable of making decent laydowns, and really haven't been doing so in my cash sessions. I guess its just that the players are so weak, that its hard for me to give them credit for big hands. I've made a few hero calls that were pretty sick, but a few of them backfired into just insanely ridiculous spews. One in particular that stands out was my fucking atrocious call with 22 on like a A 10 7 5 3 board (Id post the link, but would definitely vomit if I had to look at the details again) - I really felt like he had a missed draw, and called pretty quickly with my fucking underpair. Missed draw? Nah, more like top set - ship the pot to that guy over there, please. Pointless. I feel like I do that shit much more often than I should - "well, he knows that I know that he thinks..." and I make a move that is just totally unnecessary (and costly). I just gotta get my shit together and keep things as straightforward as possible. The players at this level are weak enough where I should be beating the game pretty easily with ABC poker.

Yesterday, I played tourneys instead of cash games, and it was just a totally brutal day. I played ok, but lost some huge races, took some brutal beats (monster two outer on the bubble in the 50k), and was left with nothing but hatred for my fellow man. Its funny, I actually didn't drop that much in buyins (less that $200) but it was just such a long and disappointing day, that it felt like it took way more of a toll on me than some of my rough cash sessions. Whatever, life rules :o)
