I put in a bit of a marathon session last night.  First I put in 4.5 hours and lost -$500.  During the 4 hours I made one horrendous lay-down with AA.  Against a regular I know I smooth called with AA to keep his range in pre.  I call flop (T 7 x), Turn King he barrels and I call, river brick and he puts me all in for 270 something more.  HE barrels 3 streets and I laid the river for some reason.  I think he only has AK and KQ there.  I forgot I was live and not online for a second.  The all in river threw me off a little, I was like ok why so much?  The only thing that beats me there is sets.  So I screwed that one up for sure.  It's amazing I only need to do one thing well in my life (play poker), and I still manage to screw it up sometimes.   Then I played from 11:30 p.m to 7:30 a.m putting in 8 hours, for a loss of -$50 (lol).

The 2nd part 8 hour marathon session had some of the best action I've seen in the past few weeks so I felt obligated to stay.  I understand you can sit with the worst players in the universe and still finish down sometimes, that's what happened last night.  Probably 8 out of 10 times I finish over 1k in the same game.  

I forced myself to wake up 4-5 hours later.  I'll get to my parents house eventually, pass out a while,  and then leave for the airport at 5:30 a.m.  Time to head home and getting ready for vacation for a week.  It's been a shit month so far, still down a buy-in, 70 hours of play.  I feel good right now, things just aren't coming together in the form of any profits.

That's about it for now.  Hopefully I can play a few sessions in St Martin.  They have casinos and get a 2-5 game running every now and then.  That's about it.  I'll be back in a week or so!
