Diary of a Vegas Grinder - Sunday Misery
Jun. 22nd, 2015 03:39 pmWell, Sunday was one of those frustrating days when things just didn't want to go right.
Effectively I lost two 50:50s for two stacks of $120, although, this being cash, it wasn't quite as simple as shove and hope.
The two losses occurred early in session one and early in session two, which meant I was always playing catch-up. I got some of it back and ended the day $147 down after eight hours of play.
So the plus side of it was that at least I got my hours in!
But such long sessions, interspersed in this case by a lunch with Jamie and Lee, who flew in the day before, really tire me out. Was exhausted when I got back to the apartment and crashed out at 10pm.
That meant that I awoke semi-refreshed, although I had a bit of a vivid and unpleasant nightmare last night, in which I was still working in my old job, but at the main building rather than the annexe, and there was a sort of "military inspection". All of the workers were these hideous "team enthusiasts", with all the stuff laid out with that hideous military precision for inspection.
Obviously I was a complete disaster in all of this!
Thank fuck I'm out of it in the real world.
The first loss was where I took a view on an early raiser and raised over the top for all his $90 from the Cut Off with TT. He had QJ off, and hit his queen.
This all looks marginal, mainly because it it. But I took a view which was essentially correct.
I then perhaps overplayed my last $25 by reraising another early raiser with TT again. This time he had JJ.
As it happens this didn't cost, because shortly after I got AJ and was able to use my second stack to win $70 back. I should have won more, but I overbet the turn when it ran out JxxJ. Opponent was probably calling with just overcards on the flop, so I could have slowed up and given him the chance to hit a card that would help him lose all his money.
In the afternoon I soon hit AK of spades in the big blind and reraised a $16 raise in mid to $50, intending to shove my last $70 on any flop. Opponent called and the hideous flop of QT9 two hearts did not deter me. Opponent had TT and I was reloading. Tens not doing me any favours today.
So it was all a matter of catch-up for most of both sessions. I got some back and ended session one down $54 and session two down $93. The plus side was that at least I got in a good number of hours!
And with luck it will be possible to park somewhere vaguely close to the card room today!
