*** WARNING: This blog contains a bad beat story ****
Pros don't tilt. I do. I got to Golden Gates again this weekend ready to book another win and prove to myself that I can play 1-2 NLHE profitably. I failed. About 9 hands after I sat down I received pocket kings in the CO. A young lady UTG pops it to $5 followed by 2 limpers. I don't want to see a flop 6 ways so I pop it big - $25. Button calls and UTG re-raises all in for $59 more. I call and the button calls. The flop comes Ace high with two hearts. I throw my last $18 in the pot and the button folds. I was hoping for a side pot; a little insurance, but no, not today thank you kindly. I turn over my Kings and the lady UTG just re-checks her hole cards. Turn's a heart and river's a heart. My black kings loose to pocket fives, one of them a heart. She left the table a few hands later. The guy to my left (button) says I played it right. Why did she re-raise? How much should I have bet pre-flop? I went on tilt. Pissed away another $50 and called it quits. This game sucks. Maybe I'll cool off by next weekend.
I've been thinking of some aliases to use at the table when someone asks my name. Here's the best yet:
“Chase Rungood” (based on The Micros character)
