Hi Highfish and Zombie. I don't play chess online, Krusty. Sorry.
I'm having some mental game issues this week. After running so well for 3 months, this week's runbad has blindsided me. It kind of feels so much worse than if I'd had the bad beats spread out instead of getting them all at once, and I've definitely been tilted into making some bad plays. I think I've been all in pre 8 times and lost 6 of the races (inc. AQs < K5o) but mostly I've just been running into the top of people's ranges and getting coolered.
You know that feeling when you think you're probably about to triple up?
Brag: Made the 4th nuts in a squeezed pot.
Beat: Had the 3rd best hand.
I have a challenge to complete for rakeback points that involves winning a ton of 3-way pots, so I thought I'd move down to 10NL for a bit, as there are more multiway pots at the lower levels, and my tilt-spews don't cost so much. It was pretty much the same coolerthon down there.
And now the runbad is even extending to my 7-minute warm-up sessions against Snowie (I just lost 2 stacks in 47 hands while playing at extra-terrestrial level).
I seem to have developed an amazing ability to jam the nut low into the (very unexpected) nuts.
I guess I have to go and embrace the variance of the Friday Night Fishfest now, but I've pretty much got a 'Double Trouble' ticket locked up this week, so I'll probably just donk around a bit and then take the weekend off. #Ihatepoker
P.S. Jonny sent me this image. Seems appropriate.
