Eh, rough day at the tables today. I suppose I was due for one.
So I run KK into AA the first orbit, which stung. I battled back some, but basically lost steadily over my first 4.5 hour session to be around -1.7k. I wasn’t feeling great, I wasn’t having fun, and the game I was in wasn’t very good. I wanted to take a meal break, but by then the list was over 40 people.
I talked to the floor, and put in for a table change. I’m allowed a 40ish minute dinner break if I’ve played over 4 hours, which I had. I moseyed over to the food court and got my favorite thing there, Goggleman’s Noodles.
This is his signature fried noodle dish, with shrimp, Chinese sausage, crispy pork, egg, and rice noodles. It’s really good!
I made sure to top up my coke from the fountain in the poker room instead of paying $6 for a 20 oz. Just the noodles was $18, pretty reasonable.
I felt better after eating, and my new table treated me better. I was in for 2.9k total on the day, and eventually I battled all the way back to unstuck! Then I wanted to take something for my time, and gave too much back.
Maybe it’s a sample size thing, but games are noticeably better after dinner time for normal people than they are before.
Anyways, I don’t feel like recapping hands. I played over 12 hours today and they kinda blur together. I didn’t love my play…. I can think of several river calls I made that were quite bad.
So all told, I was in for 2.9k, out with 1.9k, so -1000 on the day. Could have been worse…. And I also could have played a lot better.
Well, tomorrow’s a new day. I decided against playing the $800 deepstack, I don’t feel like trying to play a tourney all day. The great thing about cash is you can always pick up and leave if you aren’t feeling it anymore. Up OR down.
My goal for tomorrow is to play better at cash games, and get in a good meal or two.
