have had a terrific weekend when masteroflaw came up to Uppsala.. a lot of party and a real fun time! however.. the end destroyed me somewhat

After the partying yesterday we ended up at my place for some 3handed poker... I made a somewhat decent win considering we only played 1/2SEK but it didnt end until 9.30am.. gaahhh! a really bad time! my day is totally fucked up (I kinda just woke up, 8pm) and school begins in like 12h... guess I need to set rules so I am in bed before 6am when school is still running.. some hours of poker is not worth it when I spoil the whole next day!

well I couldnt play any poker at all today because I won a few bucks yesterday (a major -EV).. + I destroyed the whole day.. its a pyrrhic victory for me on many levels.. if you want the prime example - look in the history books...

wtf? have I missunderstood the word pyrrhic victory or what? It means that a victory at one point turns out to be a greater loss in the future... haha.. I still dont understand why I cant be used here.. please explain!

I won small at the 3-handed game and because of that win I blew the entire sunday so I couldnt do anything, not play poker (big minus EV), study or have fun at all.. in my book a really hugh loss.. so for a small win I got a hugh loss.. I consider that as a pyrrhic victory no matter what you guys say.. but if the word has another meaning, please tell me!

You got it right, but it's usually means a small win in something, and then a big loss in the same subject.

Something like.... ummmm... well, I can't think now, but applying pyrrhic victory in your story is a bit far fetched... imo
