Friday

I don’t know what it is about Fridays, but I never seem to do well. At least I know what happened this Friday, I gave it away. I played so, so bad. I went to the Bellagio early today (3:30pm). The room was packed. I got seated and seen some famialar faces. The crazy guy was back, but apparently on his meds tonight. Old Asian lady that never is at the table was there. There was some dude who looked dead on Lee Nickle off of Tilt, and a few others.

The start of my demise happened when I mucked a split pot. I basically gave away $125. I raised from the cutoff with Q10. Lee Nickle 3 bet me from the SB and we seen the flop HU. The flop was AQ3. He bet and I called. Turn was a blank. He bet, I raised, he called. The river was a 3 and went check, check. He showed QK and I mucked. The guy next to me seen my hand and informed me that the river paired the board. I don’t really know how to explain what happened. I just lost my focus and wasn’t paying attention to the river b/c I was checking behind as long as it wasn’t a Q or a 10.

After that the old Asian lady was actually in her seat and gave me a huge donkstrike. I limped in on the button after a few limpers with KJ. The flop was K35. It checked to me and I bet and only she called from what was the small blind position. The turn was a 10 and I bet and she called. The river was a 7 and she bet out. I called and she tabled 57.

Later I had JJ and went up against another JJ and a QQ on a 10 high board. The thing is, no one reraised me preflop, so I had no idea what was going on during the hand. After that I just couldn’t make a pair. I had AQ a few times up against other high pocket pairs and never spiked. Then I just started playing way too many hands and never connected. The aftermath was best put earlier, I gave it away.
