Last night I had an absolute nightmare session. I began 4 tabling short stack and took around 4 beats in a 20 minute span (for my entire stack each time). I ended up down -$400. Absolutely devastating. I'm angry with myself because my discipline was pathetic. I targeted a bad player and re-bought $80 to go after him. I lost that entire stack as he rivered a 2 outer against my overpair. At this point I buy in around $180 to go after him.
The clue-less clown ends up rivering me two more times during the session to absolutely fuck my session. So much for everything I built up over the weekend. I guess overall I'm still up $400 in this format, but wow. It's scary how bad my discipline really was last night. The gambler came out in me; the logic being; "my goal is to get the most money in with the best situation". I knew this guy represented an extremely good situation that I could exploit (in theory, about 90% of the time). But I got sucked out three times so that's poker. I don't ever remember being so angry and disgusted with poker.
I'm not going to run on and post 8 suck-out hands, I will spare you that. And I knew I was risking it by buying in more than a short-stack to go after a certain situation. It's pointless going "I would have, should have, or could have". Going forward it's either stick to a strictly low-stack strategy, or deposit a few thousand online so I can go after idiots like this and be able to take getting rivered 3 times in the span of an hour for enormous pots. Oh right that's why I'm planning to move to Vegas so I have everything LIVE. Burn in hell Poker Stars. Or I could keep buying in to much money and go broke with my online bankroll; that's fun as well.
Obviously not playing tonight. Decided I deserve the torture of working out even know I only got 4 hours of sleep. Serves me right. Hope everyone else is having a better week.
