Alright I promised I wouldn't talk about bad beats but dammit I need to vent.
Thurs/Fri we do a 20 hour session that was going well but does not end well in large part due to this.
About 9:30 am I am at a table with mostly morning grinders. I did some light loose aggro stuff to try to show that I was on tilt or whatever, to set them up.
KhKs in the hole. Decent local grinder (with about $300) raises to $25, the one loose donk (with about $120) at the table calls. I hesitate and look as frustrated as possible (like I'm trying to make a lame steal attempt) and raise it up to $55. Both call.
Flop is K 10 4 with 2 diamonds. I try to look as discouraged as possible and check and it works, the initial raiser raises to $135. The donk folds, I snap shove and raiser snap calls.
Turn and River both diamonds that don't pair the board and he flip AdKd for the nuts. What makes it more annoying is this guy annoys me a little and he's 2/2 in big pots against me with the other one being me flopping a set of Aces, him 5's and him turning quads.
Despite the result of the play I think the whole setup leading to it was very good on my part, as well as the acting job - he's played me many times and I still got him to blast as a severe underdog.
But what r ya gonna do, this is the nature of the beast. It is gambling to an extent, after all.
I do not like heading in discouraged which I still am but big tourney in town so I gotta try to catch those guys as they bust out and steam.
Run good, crew.
