I can't win on Fridays (6/17/2011)

I go into tonight with the realization that I can NOT WIN on Fridays.

I'm not sure what the deal is here.  The last Friday I won over a buy-in was 3/25/2011.  Friday is supposed to be a great action night, but if you're baglife during the past two months you would have been better off just partying on Friday like a normal person.  check out my last five Friday sessions:

5/6:  8 hours, -$880

5/20:  9 hours, -$1150

5/27:  9.5 hours, -$60

6/3:  8.5 hours, -$285

6/10:  6 hours, -$25

I really don't have a great explanation with regards to how this is possible.  I'm quite convinced it's just a bizare statistical anomaly.  I've always gone into Fridays really prepared and ready to play.  If I take a look at my notes there have been a lot of huge suck-outs during these last 5 Fridays. 

There is usually decent action.  However, the games really haven't been that great during Friday nights.  The last two sessions I had to switch tables over 4 times.  I think the night is getting saturated by weekend warriors who really aren't losing that much.  The type that are probably playing around 15% of their hands, and losing around -2 BB/100 if they ever played 100k hands.  They have some basic understanding of the game and will make money if surrounded by droolers.  Sure I have a skill advantage over them, but a table with 6 of them on it is horrendous.  They are there to win money just like me, if they lose their night is ruined.

So what am I doing this Friday?  Playing poker.  Yes I guess I just don't learn.  If you take detailed notes I think strange "streaks" like this will just happen.  The sessions above only make up 41 hours total.  That's just over a thousand hands.  Much can go wrong in a thousand hands.  I used to play 3,000 hands in 5 hours online.  I certainly didn't win 90% of those sessions.  I know this, but it's still a strange when compared to my other nights.  Especially considering my Saturdays have been absolutely phenomenal.  You think the two nights would be comparable, but it hasn't even been close.

Anyways, i'll be updating later.  I'll do my best to avoid 6 losing Friday nights in a row.
