Swinging

Ok, so I've received some complaints that it seems like I don't post when I'm not doing well. I don't like complaining but just to show some of y'all that I do swing here goes.


Oh yeah, I'm posting on my laptop while in class so no HH.


Since my last post, I made 5 1/2 buyins not being able to play much again because of school atm. I would have been on another $70 upswing (my stack was $35 and villain's was $42) if not for a huge suckout. I had AKo, flop A A 9 all rainbow. I bet and get min raised. I decide to just call and be aggro on the turn. Turn was 2. We go all in. Villain has AJ (I put him on AJ or AQ and highly unlikely, 99). River J...GG me.


Yesterday I dropped 4 buyins. 3 of those buyins were with AA. I literally started cringing whenever I saw AA after awhile. A particular donkey sucked out on me the hand before 2 outing my KK vs his QQ. Nex hand, I reload look down and see AA. Donkey thinks about it and calls my raise. Flop was nothing scary, turn brought a straight possibility, all in on turn and he flips over 8 5 o for the gutshot straight. River brings his gutshot...I was sick.


Then, I had AA vs. set, I just consider that a cooler I'm paying someone with a set off everytime with AA. Then, AA vs. runner runner flush. The other hand I dropped a full buyin on was AKo and I hit two pair on the flop of AKQ. I didn't put villain on J10 at all. We go all in, villain has QJ. Anyone want to guess what the river brought? You got it...a 10. I also dropped a buyin trying to bluff someone late in the session because I can admit I was a little tilted. What a donk I am.


Then, because I was a little tilted, Ollie asked me to play the Daily Doubles. What the hell I wasn't in the mood but entered them and busted out early because I was impatient and in a bad mood. Another buyin-ish gone.


Ray has said that he wants me to move up to 50nl this Friday while he's coaching. I'm excited about that and know I need to get my mind right. (yes, my signature phrase) I don't need to be a tilt monkey!!! So today, I need to refocus, regroup, work on my judicial clerkship stuff and if I have time later, play my A game. Moving up to 50nl is such a motivator for me that I have to and should play good, solid poker.
