One of Those Days

Well, it's raining outside, it's damp and crappy, and in here, it isn't too great either. I got stuck for an entire buy-in playing 0.50/1 limit ($30, no big deal). It's the most I've been stuck playing limit in almost a solid month. Worst part is that I lost all the hands on really good beats. Not that any beat is good, necessarily, but here are my gems from this morning--at this point I was up, not by much, but anything is up when a buy-in goes away:

1) ($31.00): QQ UTG-raise pre-flop, get cold-called to the river--opponent shows AA to take the pot.
2) ($24.50): Two hands later, QQ in SB--pot is raised pre-flop by UTG, I re-raise, he calls. Flop 8-T-T. I bet, he raises, I call. Turn card is a K. I bet he calls, River 7, I bet, he calls and flips AK for the better two pair. I wonder why he didn't raise the turn?
3) ($21.75): Seven hands later, KK UTG. I raise PF, get called by an MP player. Flop is 7-5-4 rainbow. Betting carnage ensues, and basically the board helps nobody. Same player as in hand one above shows AA again to take the pot.
4) ($14.75): Very next hand, 22 in the BB. It gets raised by a loose LP player, I call. Flop is J-7-2. Again, betting carnage ensues. I cap on the flop. Turn is a T, river an 8. Other player turns over TT for the turned set.
5) ($4.75): Six hands later, AJs vs. JJ--the guy with JJ was the same guy with AA above--twice. Flop was Q-6-8 with two spades (my suit). Played more conservative, but still lost.

Rough, eh?

When that happens, I go away for a little bit. Hopefully the poker gods will smile on me more another day.

Don't forget that Ultimate Bet reload bonus--you have to deposit by Sunday at 11:59pm. Hopefully my NetTeller deposit will clear my account by then...Enjoy folks.
