Wild night

I had one of those nights that just makes you a little sick.

I had a beautiful set up. Good stacks running on three tables, at least two fish in position on each. One table had a guy who was 80/13. He would call anything on the flop, and often on the turn.

Trouble is I'd made a couple mistakes, and was stuck about $50. No worries though, I had a pizza, the Cubs, and suckers.

Then, I caught aces when 80/13 raises. Avert your eyes if you'd like.

His set of sixes held, obviously.

Against better players, I probably c-bet less, I may even get away from it. QQ/JJ aren't waiting for the turn usually. Against this guy, it might have been anything, including deuces. So I double him up.

He proceeds to go on a run unlike anything I've ever seen. The table just can't touch him. He cracks QQ with 82o (called preflop and call a pot flop bet with the deuce). He ran down my aces up with runner runner gutshot. Seriously, the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. He finally leaves with 550, after buying in for $40.

Meanwhile, at my trough, I was stuck for $350.

At this point, I'm just being stubborn. I can't leave with the fish at my table and that many chips. I'm not really playing all that bad. A couple tough beats, but nothing awful.

Finally, after the fish leaves, I'm stuck $300, and start thinking about leaving, when I catch some cards and grind back most of the loss. 850 hands. Only stuck $111 on the night.

For some reason, it feels like an accomplishment after seeing my aces die like that.

And it really did make me sick. I was up all night, and called in today. I suppose maybe I'll give this poker thing another try this afternoon.
