Hours: 5
Duration 1:00 a.m- 6:00 a.m
Net Loss: -$74
Disappointment doesn't really describe this session. All the potential in the world, just nothing ever goes right. The biggest hand of the night I lost KK < AA all in preflop. It was a table I bum hunted so lost a full $110 pot on that hand. I cold called the final $40, which was a mistake. I had to hero fold it there. I'm disappointed in myself for even putting myself in that position. I should not have been on that table after I ran $20 up to $100 and the fish had left. So god-damn stupid and so rigged. Suddenly remembered why I don't play all full stack though. I also ran another KK into AA to lose $50. So a clean $80 lost running KK into AA tonight. Surely I could have invested the $80 into something more promising than 20% equity, but what can you do?
I ran well under EV even by HEM standards for the 8th time in 10 sessions. Does it ever end? That -EV number doesn't even pick up running KK into AA like a clown all night. When do I sit there and pick up AA against KK's all night? It really is unbelievable. I did beat the EV by about $20, which is good. I cleared close to a 1,000 VPPs during that last stretch, which is great. I felt pretty good with the way I played with the exception of the KK hand, but whatever.
I put in 9.5 more hours Monday, which is ahead of what I thought I would put in. I didn't really push myself to put in the hours, I just got into a groove and stuck with it. I didn't force myself during the 3:00 a.m- 6:00 a.m stretch. Well it's past 6:30 a.m so I should probably wrap this up and get some sleep. Tomorrow night should be another 8 hours minimum.
Keeping a positive spin: -$74 in 3,000 hands isn't a massive swing at all. It could always be worse, but yeah. Also I did it tonight ALL NATURAL, without the 5-hour energy and felt fine. I didn't even cheat on the energy source!
Cheers to never running +EV in my life.
This may all sound like torture, but I have been enjoying it during the sessions. I mean the beats and running bad is really frustrating. But I would honestly rather be doing this than be at my corporate job. I haven't even thought of that terrible place until now. Ok I'm rambling now good night. Or morning........
Call it whatever, it's night to me until I go to bed. I don't care if the stupid birds are chirping outside. What do they know anyway?
