Minor Meltdown
Just collapsed on Party last night, managing to lose a little over $250 in about three hours, three and four tabling the 2/4 bad beat tables. That’s a lot of hands, but to lose that much playing 2/4 is humiliating.
During that time …
… I had my one and only full house beat (he had me at the turn, and we capped the river)
… I never saw AA, lost one of my two KKs, and lost with my one AK
… My BB were consistently raised, and kept missing the flop by a country mile
I pride myself on grinding and emotional control. I’m not always great at putting players on hands, and can’t necessarily calculate pot odds on the fly. So my edge comes in playing correctly and not making stupid decisions. But I let it get to me after a while, and tilted enough to turn what should have been a $100 loss into more than twice that.
I’m confident I can it back with solid play, but it was a big blow to the ego and didn’t do the bankroll any good either.
