[+44*F...."feels like" +37*F....cloudy....winds from the north/east @ 14....scattered T-storm in the afternoon...]
Just one of those days....sometimes you get the cards at the right time....and then on days like today you just flat don't....or worse....you get what you think are the right cards at the right time....but it's the worst possible time....and "Old Man River" does you wrong....
Day started like most of my days....although I'm retired....my body/mind still think I've got to get up around 06:00 because I have to punch that clock....30+ years in a factory....so now the clock I "punch" is a 1000/500 blind table....and the time card is a "125'K max-buy-in"....very fluid table....as few as three and as many as seven players at any give time....a brief appearance by a couple of kamikaze....both were one and done....a few incidents of pre-flop pot pushing but most were because the prep had pocket pairs or an Ace....most common irritant was an "any-two-carder"....who just had to raise pre-flop on almost every hand [2.5'x the big blind or less] and most times the same size continuation bet....caught him a few times but no big pots....my problem today was simple....when I caught a good hand there was no significant money [faux it may be] in the pot....and when there was significant money in the pot....I'd either have shmattah....or a decent hand which got "turned" or rivered"....lost the biggest chunk of my stake to a rivered better "house"....
Ergo....33 minutes played....47 hands played [a hand every 42 sec.].....only 6 winners [one every 7.8 hands]....left 63,873$ on the table [dang river]....[no slots].....as I sometimes do took a drop late last night and the one this morning were both @42'K w/ads....so if there is any consolation the loss has been erased from the ledger....but it still hurts a little....[have changed my avatar again....fits my current mood better....posted in the footer]
