Losing in poker lately…significant amount, at least for my stakes currently. I’ve been playing very poorly as of late, tilting in a poor fashion, and I deserve to lose. Keeping one’s head on during a downer is key in my short experience as a poker player. The last two sessions have been very frustrating…I’ve lost probably 25-30 buyins in those two sessions playing PLO. The last session ended with me tilting and c/shoving with QT98 on a AJ7r board and losing to AAxx (obviously) for a 600bb pot.

This game is so frustrating sometimes…not just PLO, but poker in general. Does this $5k have a huge impact on my overall net? Probably not. But it’s still so frustrating not being able to play well and win money. This month has been washed (for obvious reasons, the main ones being the last two days).

Everyone goes through bad runs…and I can see some readers here just rolling their eyes (if anyone reads this thing at all) saying “wah wah wah suck it up you pussy”

I’m just pissed off that I’ve played so damn poorly. I have noone to blame but myself, and that’s what angers me. Have the cards been going my way every time? No…but I’ve not been playing well either.

I refuse to post hands here, to find another reason to bitch and moan, and to cry “WELL I WAS A 80% FAVORITE BUT STILL LOST! SIGH”. Taking accountability for your actions is something that is essential, not only for becoming a better player but also getting out of a downer.

I will grind out of this. I will become a better player. Poker is one long session and I’ve been here many times before.

man up you pussy

FUCK POKER

So I’ve been pretty frustrated of late, mainly just due to playing poorly in poker. Obviously bad play leads to bad results, and that’s the thing that pisses me off- I KNOW I’m playing poorly and I know what I did wrong.

I need to pound it into my head that this (poker) is one long long session…that I don’t HAVE to make my money back now or within the next few hours. Sickeningly enough, I think that I play better when down a buyin or two. I get more focused and feel as if I need to play well to make the money back (and more).

Anyways, enough emo bullshit…our flag team won our first game, which I’m pretty happy about. We were just a lot more athletic than our opposition, had better equipment (gloves, cleats, the latter being vital due to a wet, grass field), and were more organized. We had some coverage issues though, mainly with the linemen releasing. I’ve been thinking about what exactly we’re going to do with either having one high S or 3 line backers, each playing intermediate/deep zones within their pieces of the field.

The main problems we had were when the linemen did out routes…just basic coverage issues. Below is what I’m thinking we’ll have for our defense with the one high (that we played last game). Each cb plays man, with the LB playing zone (as well as the S).

All in all, I was happy with our performance. The team we played was pretty pitiful though, and probably doesn’t really show us much. We won 39-0, and everyone contributed.

I also have a flag league in Omaha that I’ll be going back for each weekend.  The team in Omaha is pretty much the same team I had last year. Our plays are HERE…probably going to be unnecessary, but whatever…I love football.

UF is going to fucking stomp UTenn this saturday. If we lose I’ll throw myself onto the highway.

Hey guys, just wanted to put my new blog on this site. For those who don’t know, I’m a (super) senior at University of Nebraska Lincoln and avid poker player. sorry about all the random posts as well otherwise, I’ve been trying to move some of those trip reports/poker stuff onto here.

My old blog can be found on www.oi2ange.blogspot.com. You’ll see the other stuff there (trip reports, strategy, etc).

Anyways, will be posting more here in the near future. cheers
