HAHA, that was awesome.

Well let's see, on Wednesday I got beat heads-up by first of all a 3 outer, A-K vs. A-7 (dude had no flush draw or straight draw after the flop), another 3 outer (Q-K vs. J-Q, he hit the jack on the river), then a 2 outer (higher full house on the river), and then runner-runner quads, the only thing that could beat me, so that was a one-outer after the turn (full house lost to quads).

After that miserable abyss I did ok. My pocket kings lost to a douche calling with 2-10 suited. Heads up from now on I'm all-in with queens, kings, or aces, don't care what the blinds are at whatsoever. No more sucking out on me with garbage. I won my last three heads-up of the day and 2nd in a 9 person tourney (somehow, my A-J suited lost to Q-K offsuit, despite having four diamonds on the flop, a pair of aces on the turn... and then, I didn't even see how this was possible, somehow he hit a straight on the river... I didn't even think he was close, I must have missed it, maybe I two paired that river and there was a 10 on the flop but I can't remember that at all, what a lucky SOB).

Still I don't go on tilt. I had the worst beats of my life Wednesday, ended the day up $15 which at $5 buy-ins is respectable. I am trying to rebuild my bankroll after I took it all out of Poker Room and put in a much smaller amount on Full Tilt. I like to build a bankroll naturally not just put in whatever I want, hehe.

Players who go on tilt that bad haven't learned discipline yet. When I was in my younger playing days I did the same thing. Ok I'm down $30, screw this site, stupid luck, I hate this stupid site, that's it, I'm going to play a $20 buy-in I don't care if I usually play $5 because I can win it all back here. Haha, trust me that never once worked. I think I was 0 for 4 heads up with $20 buy-ins because I was ALWAYS on tilt at that level and it was after a lousy night. There's $88 I wish I had back.
