Day Fifteen - Frustrating Finalé

Hey hey!

Well today was annoying! I got up with the intention of playing poker, even though I couldn't find a game till about 5pm because the strip was empty!

Anyway managed to find one at MGM... A standard 1/2 blinds no limit game right? Well every single raise on the table was up to $18 or something stupid. The average raise was 9 times the blind. In 4 hours I had AK twice and that was it. Both times I'd called those big raises, missed, and been raised all in so folded. Great.

Then tonight decided to play in the IP game. Looked pretty easy with some incredible passive players, so good hands should pay off. Well I had 2 pair, twice.. big pots.. and both times the other person had sets. The chance of a pocket pair hitting a set on the flop is a 1 in 5.. the chance of hit happening twice in a row is a 1 in 25...

With about 10 hours of poker today, I didn't see AA, KK, QQ, or an AK/AQ which held up, or a lower pocker pair that hit a set.

If the good hands are losing, and the bad hands aren't improving, it's impossible to make money! It's pretty tough!

So I'm down today quite a bit.. Still $320 up for the holiday, which is good considering this time last week I was pretty much even... In summary its still $320 of pure profit, even though I'm majorly frustrated that it should be more...

I feel my game's still been ok. Sure there's little issues here and there, but all in all the end result was just a frustrating run of luck I guess.

My favourite game at Planet was unavailable today so hopefully it will be a bit busier tomorrow and I can say a proper goodbye to it!

One day left!
