So I decided to play for about an hour before I go to work (as in my actual job). At the end of the session, I’m down 5 buyins. Don’t really think I could have played the hands differently, running bottom two pair (QJ) into a set of aces (in a standard 2bet pot) which then became quads. Then I ran my flopped set of jacks into a flopped straight on a A-J-K two tone board. I lost another buyin when I turned top two pair against a terrible player who hit a flush and got paid from me. I think the best of all was a relatively short player (50BB’s) calling my overbet on a flop of TTT with A2 of diamonds and hitting runner runner for a flush, kicking my AK to the curb! Oh and on the last hand I squeezed from the BB with 9T of spades after UTG raised and got 3 callers. Only the button called and we got it all in on a flop of 9T5. He had 55.
I perhaps could have managed to pry myself away from one or two of the hands, but literally every big hand I was dealt, I lost, although I did manage to flop a set of deuces from the BB in a BvB pot. He paid off my half pot-sized bets until I boated up on the river and he check folded to my value bet.
It seems that during the day iPoker is full of complete nits. I think I’m pretty well acclimatised to exploiting nits given that I spent a year playing at the full ring tables and today was just cooler after cooler which is pretty hard to take, especially given my positive outlook last night! I must admit that it’s growing ever more difficult to just take them on the chin and move on…
