Sadly, I should have said something, but I was just out of it after coming frm the feeder.
Aha! Ok, then. Well, good to have met you. In the above discussion about regs, etc, did I appear to be a reg? Did you know who I was (2p2) while you were at the table? I would love to get some feedback on my table image...
And don't worry about the shove - I remember it and it wasn't a bad spot at all.
I think at that point I was actually on my 3rd buyin and having the same kind of night - run KK into AA from BTN vs SB; flop trips w 2nd kicker vs some donk's boat; get KK, QQ, KK again and take down only blinds & limps every time... you get the picture. (It did improve vastly, though, later.)
It's poker, part of being ready for the game is being ready for the variance. It definitely sucks when you have a night full of missed draws/vills hit theirs, but it's all in the game. The best players in the world can't win every night. Lack of mental toughness/tilt resistance is just a huge leak for so many otherwise good+ players.
Remind yourself (if you are a winning player and have the stats to back it up) that if you're losing tonight, it's because lady luck is against you - when she's even or better, you win! It always makes me feel better to be able to think "I'm just unlucky tonight" instead of "zomfgwutswrong whycantiwinisucksomuch."
