I ended up playing three separate sessions for a total of about 8 hours of play. The result? Finished up $547.25. In all actuality, I actually ran probably the worst I ever have run in one day at $2/4 NL. I don't want this whole post to appear like a whine or whatever... I'm just reporting the facts about how my day went. I understand and accept the realities of poker, realize that luck is part of the game, so I'm not like actually mad at the results of the day, but I'll admit I'm a tad bit frustrated.
I know the all in EV adjusted stat doesn't account for stuff like set over set, other types of bad luck, etc. but I had to just peek at it after this session to see how bad it really was. Apparently, if I had average luck, I would have won about $3.8k yesterday. That's 8 buyins below expectation. Ok this is turning into a whine, but whatever it's my blog and I need somwhere to vent, lol. Quit reading if you don't like it.
Here's the graph of the mayhem:
Overall, I'm proud that all this running like shit didn't effect my play one bit. I guess if there's something to be learned from all this... it's an example of how if you stay focused, play 4-5 tables like I did the whole time, and keep playing well that you can turn a day filled with disasters into a winning day.
I'm not even going to bother to post the individual HH's because you'll probalby puke all over your keyboard, but I pretty much got sucked out on/coolered in every way possible in the book over and over.
The saying that poker is a hard way to make an easy living is pretty true. I don't think a day like this would have got to me as much as in the past... it's annoying because I feel I'm right at the turning point from getting away from the losing results of the past few months to start winning again and I played my heart out today and kind of got slapped in the face.
Oh well, I'll suck it up and play even better tomorrow.
