Ups and Downs

If I posted a graph of yesterday's session, that's pretty much what it would look like....lol

I'm playing some very good poker right now, the best I've played in a very long time. Started off the day by losing a buyin the very first hand - always good to dig that hole right off the bat. Missed a huge draw against a guy that wouldn't let go of aces, standard stuff. Went on to lose two more within the next 200 hands or so, mostly in the same manner, by getting in with massive wrap straight or flush draws and bricking. In one actually the guy who won the hand actually said in chat "wow you had like a million outs there"..All I could bring myself to reply was "standard". I quit down $60, just over two buyins.

I split the day into two sessions, and actually got it all back and made a small profit on the day. It was funny, I got a stack in on a 3-way pot on a flop of 9Qx with 8TJJ. The guy who pushed all in (he had 3bet preflop) ended up having KKxx. The other guy in the pot had QQxx, but I hit my straight draw and dodged the board pairing to triple up. The part where it got funny was after the hand was over, the guy with KK called me an "idiot" in the chat....

It's SO tempting to want to explain to morons like this how HE's the one calling ME an idiot after getting his money in a 3-way pot with less than 6% equity (The set of queens had around 50%, I had ~45%, the KKxx had ~5%). To do so, however, might actually force the guy to play better, learn about equity, playing in 3-bet pots, playing 3-way pots, etc and really, what's the point of that. All I ended up saying was "yeah, you got unlucky there...."

Ended the day +$15, which after getting off to the start that I did, was a very good result.
