My AA cracked twice today

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

if that doesn’t tell you how it’s going well…

Again I stopped Betting on the river when he got his second pair.  Doesn’t help my bankroll but at least I got a sense.

I’m gonna go play spades

dodging bullets is different from being bulletproof

This is me today.  Gotta get my drivers liscense renewed soon.  Like to get a sponsor before then.

Turns out that there is a difference between being bulletproof and being able to dodge bullets.  Occassionally a bullet will find you.  You better be able roll with it.  While the day is not over yet I’m thinking I probably won’t double up again today. 

I did however stop playing when I started losing.  That is really key.  Play while you are winning, stop when you are losing. 

I couldn’t even win with pocket Aces today.  Raise and the guy just keeps calling.  There river card looked like a straight had hit so I checked after he checked to me.   There it was he hit his straight on the last card. 

I went in with the best hand and stopped betting when I was beat.  Not much else I can do.
