Played some Poker today. Small limits at FTP and Stars. Cash games on FTP, where I have been running warm, and a SNG on Stars. It is funny, I won 2 Buy-ins at the 25NL table, just to lose a shove at the 10NL table. What a tough position I put myself in. I catch a suited AQ in the BB and re-reaise the button, however I get 3-betted by the UTG caller. WTF! Well I call his raise OOP. Flop comes Qd, 9h, 3h. I sit with TPTK and the nut flush draw. What to do? I figure the limp/raiser had a very strong hand, AA or KK at least, and maybe AKo. I figure I have so many outs that it is a race. I know the villain isn't going anywhere, no matter what! Well here goes...I shove it in the middle and the expected call happens. He shows me two red Kings, and I show him the monster draw. Well much to my surprise I see a red turn and river, but no hearts or Queens. Darn. I am not too upset because I think I played it right, however, IT SUCKS!
I really hate losing. I hate losing at anything, golf, poker darts, trivia and anything else that is competitive. That actually might be a problem in my game. I don't think I tilt, but I may. When I play a hand well, and get sucked out on, I really get pissed. I do my level best to keep my mouth shut, but IT SUCKS! I really get mad if I play a hand poorly. I played yesterday and called a pair of 8's to the river with a 9n on the board. I even called the villains shove when the second 9 hit the board. WTF, I guess because the villain was in the BB and checked his Q9o, I thought I was holding the nuts? When I have a lack of discipline, like that hand, I stew all day, I mean for hours. I don't play and sit and kick myself in the ass for hours. I guess it goes back to losing. If I get beat, I mean outright beaten, mano y mano, and I do all that I could to win, then that is one thing. If I allow someone to win by my poor performance, then I go off. I hate it, in fact, I am pissed just typing this. POKER!
