I have these moments when I am just 99.99999% sure that I shouldn't call, and I call anyway. Doesn't happen as much anymore, but it happened once yesterday and that was enough to turn a breakeven session into a session with a 60bb loss.

It was my last hand, the board had 5 hearts including the ace and I held the queen. The villain bet the flop, check/called the turn and check/shoved the river for something like twice the pot.

I requested time, went to pee, answered the doorbell and returned upstairs to click on "call". Argh...

I wonder if Hitler felt that way in the summer of 1941? He was probably sitting in Berlin with all his commanders going, "don't do it mein fuhrer! Don't do it!" There was probably even a little voice in his head saying the same thing. And Hitler probably responded, "I don't care! I am 9 countries up! Dat Stalin is a donkey! Ve vill infade Russia, and de man who tinks about bringing varm undervear vill be shot!"

Anyway I shut down the computer after that and went to teach one of my students. He paid me for the month yesterday so that took some of the edge off (I mean, I was only 6 dollars down at poker, but I am a sensitive new age guy and such things affect me... very... sniffle...).

Poker is going to be pretty intensive this month as the mid-year examinations are over and a lot of my tuition students are cancelling lessons for half the month. That means no extra income but plenty of time to work on poker.

So I woke up this morning and sat down for a three hour session, reminding myself that I had to play properly. It was all going okay until I hit an AA vs KK situation for 100bb. It was especially galling because I was the one with the AA this time and though we got it all in on the flop, he rivered a king. Thankfully, I bounced back thanks mainly to this table:

Hand one: doesn't involve me, but never trust a donk who can't spell the word "nothing".

+ Show Spoiler +

Hand two: it was not clear who SHARKPGH34 was talking to. On hindsight, probably me. Looks like itlgirl misunderstood and upped the donkey disrespecter factor!

+ Show Spoiler +

Hand three: um... don't call a PF raise at full ring with JQo? No, wait, call a PF raise with JQo, but for goodness sake top up your stack first, you miser.

+ Show Spoiler +

And immediately after that, the SHARKPGH34 says, "that's rediculous"

No, what's ridiculous is that you don't know how to spell ridiculous. Get out of my way, shark. Don't you know we Chinese eat your fins for dinner?

No, I'm not a girl, but I suspect it helps that people at the table think I am. Basically when I signed up for my first account with Pacific all the usernames I wanted were taken. And "Karen668" is like my username of last resort on all sorts of stuff like free email accounts.

From now on I shall mention my WIFE extensively in as many posts as possible so nobody gets the wrong idea. =)
