i had outs...
this evening, i picked three buy-in's back up in just under an hour and a half... nice. especially after last nights debacle of a session... holy crap there is no way i could withstand an unmerciful 20+ BI "downswing" or swong like some of them guys wrote about... no effin way... i think i'd just start watching Jared Tendler, Ace Poker Shrink video's and hope i wouldn't hang myself in the shower or soemthing...the best hand of the session was 3 betting 99 out of the BB after the BTN bet 3xBB in a steal attempt... he calls it... the flop is 7,8,9 two flushed... i bet, he jams and i insta-call... turn is a freakin' beauty of a NINE for quads and i donkey rape his "flopped a straight" ass when i see his 56o turn over...
and he chats it up with this line as his stack is being shipped, as if i felt sorry for him: "i had a straight"
to which i reply, "i had outs"
what else could i say? "sorry d00d i'm the one supposed to be ass-raped not you"? jeebus man, i had it broke off in my ass yesterday on the felt until it began to feel normal... i felt like tuff_fish... lol (maybe in the next post i'll put up a tuff_fish video... if you've never seen one they're outstanding...)
i did stack off a half stack from the SB when i 3 bet an unknown maniac player on my 2nd hand at the table... (note to self: get a read on players before making a move...) he calls and i go Pokey on him and decide to fore a half plus sized lead into him if - and only if - three cards hit the flop... unfortunately the flop was an A,K,J two flush and my 77 wasn't comfortable... but i pokey-fired it in there anyhow and he promptly shoves his obvious AK something or another... didn;t have to be a phil ivey or soul reading helmuthass to understand i was whooped... meh... it's worked quite a few times and this was the only time raising big out of the blinds and firing first has really failed me. thanks Pokey...
so i feel good, the course looks good, my swing feels good and i like my chances... and decided to stop while i felt refreshed and more importantly, felt like i was getting some of that confidence back... nothing sucks worse than thinking/believing you're not playing good or the poker gods have decided you were the Job of Poker...
there's a good alien abduction show on Discovery... think i'll go redneck trailer trash and grab an old milwaukee light, curl up next to the sleeping fairgirl and dream of being a sex slave to an amazon alien female race...
run well...
