A Pretty Uneventful Trip

After five-and-a-half hours of playing, I ended up with a $80 profit day. I would like to tell you grand stories of big bluffs and bigger pots, but I pretty much played aces, kings, queens and high cards that didn't go very far into the hand.

My peak was $375 and I lost a lot of that money with A-Q when I flopped top pair and a guy rivered a flush on me. The guy's final bet of $65 on the river was just the right amount to make me curious enough to see his hand. I felt pretty good he had me beat, but I just couldn't lay it down.

The past few months since I started playing cards on a pretty consistent basis I have noticed I can't make the lay down of big hands on the river that I used to do pretty routinely. That was something I was proud of back in the day that I could fold hands others wouldn't dare do at the end of the hand, and more times than not it was the correct decision. Yet, now I can't seem to do it.

If I could tweak that one element of my game I think I would have more and larger profitable sessions. In fact, now that I think about it, the last couple of times I've had losing nights was because I wouldn't fold aces when I knew they were beat. That is something I need to work on in my game.

Well, my next time to play will probably be the Weatherford game. I'll give you details from that night when it happens.
