One of Those Months

Do you ever have one of those sessions where you play you’re “A” game and still get it up the ass? The whole month of December has been that way for me. Today I played at St. Elias church since Nautica is closed for the holidays. It basically attracts the same players but the dealers are much better and you are encouraged to tip on your winning hands. The rake is a little worse at 10% up to $7.00 max per pot versus $5.00 or $6.00 max. However, I am alright with that because the average hands per hour is a lot better than downtown. They also have better control of the table, are able to calculate side pots and keep the action moving if a player isn’t paying attention.

Anyways, let me tell you a few hands I got involved in. I raise $6.00 bet to $30.00 with AA, and get called to see a flop of Ac10d3d. I check/raise to bet of $40.00 and all the money is in. Duchebag rivers a flush with 8d9d. -$100.00

I open for $12.00 with 77 and get one caller. This broad is first to act and bets $15.00 on Qd9d7c flop. I call and get bet $20.00 into on Ks turn. I push and get called for another $85.00. River is blank and I lose to 10J straight. WTF -$132.00. I played it slow because I put the lucky son of a bitch on a flush draw with a possible pair. I like how I played my hand because I want to maximize very strong starting hands. I just ran into a sneaky draw that caught up. My bad for trying to get some chips in the middle.

I open for $10.00 with AK. I get min/raised and call to flop of K84. I check/raise all in and watch son of a bitch turn over AA. BRICK…BRICK. Really? - $140.00

To top it off, my draws never improved. I Flop open/ended straight/draw, miss. I Flop a high flush/draw with top pair...brick, brick. Am I being punk’d right now? Is Ashton Kutcher behind that door? This poker shit gets old after a while.

I can get over a bad session much easier if I play bad because then it is easy to fix. When I play my best and still get screwed, I steam for quite a while because I can’t stand when retard play gets rewarded and I am not able to fix anything. I sometimes leave these sessions in shock at how bad the play is and wonder why I am not going to the cage cashing out $3000.00+ in chips! I wet my pants over these fricking idiots when they sit at my table. What did I do to piss off the poker gods? I am not referring to everybody. However, out of a table of 10, four of them don’t even have the capacity to add numbers. It’s just sick and wrong to see red chips in front of them. Wrong I tell you, Wrong!

Merry frickin’ Christmas you donkeys. Just wait until 2011 because I am coming after you all with a vengeance!
