Thursday Profit!?
It is a Christmas miracle! I booked a win on a Thursday night! Okay, it was a very small win, it isn't Christmas and all that but I'm pumped anyway.
I have been having a blast lately with the 180 man $4 no limit tourneys on Poker Stars, so I loaded up another one tonight. I folded what turned out to be the best hand fairly early in the tourney when I got spooked by a relatively weak bet coupled with an Ace on the flop and a couple callers. I actually had the best hand the whole way and would have rivered a full house to take a large pot down had I not scampered so early in the hand. Live and learn. My biggest mistake in terms of chips was running my AQ into AA on an A high flop. Possibly fueled by the previous big stupid lay down, this time I read the weak bet as a sign of weakness, not strength and ended up losing a bundle by the end of the hand. With an A in my hand and one on the board I was really discounting AA but AK was a real possibility. Taking away the results oriented thinking, I believe my laydown was the bigger mistake of the two. This put me in shortstack mode for a while and I managed to double up through a big stack with A9 versus his A3 but later ran out of steam when I got it all in again with TT preflop and lost to AJ, finishing in 69th.
Paradise hasn't beaten me down quite enough lately, so I bravely ventured back for some more 5-max $1/$2 limit and finished with a small win after going up and down for a little over an hour.
With tonights small win, my cumulative Thursday losses have dipped to $154 while last nights complete thumping has inflated my Wednesday losses to $339. What is it with those two nights!? Every other day of the week sits in a profit position and I definitely analyze this useless crap too much if I know this. Ah well, I needed a poker strength and not having any natural talent at all, I have settled for bankroll management and record keeping as my strengths.
