They kicked me in the nuts and took my lunch money

We got to Winstar and had to wait 2 hours for a table. Those 2 hours were easily the 2 most profitable hours for me of the day. In the first 20 hands, I twice ended up all-in and heads up against KK (I had AK and AQ) to the same chick. Over 5.5 hours there, I ended up all-in and heads up against AA 4 times (I lost them all).

It was the tightest table I have seen in quite a while. Whenever I made a hand (which was rare), nobody would pay me off. I think the old guy next to me was just hoping the bad beat jackpot would hit because he certainly wasn't interested in playing any hands that were dealt to him.

So, the Winstar kicked my butt. It knocked me over the head and kicked me in the teeth. For good measure, it gave me a wedgie on the way out the door. It is a cool place though - only a 1.25 hour drive, clean, 30 tables of holdem, etc. I'll be back for sure. If you ever plan on going, either get there by 9 to get your name on the list or don't bother showing up until noon.

So, I did what I always do when I lose. I went out Saturday night to gamble more and win it all back. Saturday night was worse than Saturday day. Five more times I was all-in and heads-up against AA. That makes 9 on the day. Interestingly, I didn't take many "bad beats" during this whole stretch, I just kep getting very good hands when my opponents got incredibly good hands. Then I got AJ on the button and raised it to $20 to go. The BB went all in ($120). I made a read based on his earlier play and his running commentary and decided to call. He said, "Crap" and I felt that I made the right read. He had A3. I am not allowed to tell you how the hand ends without violating the "no bad beat story policy" on IAG. So, I lost even more on Saturday night. I licked my wounds all day, but alas, it is Sunday, so it's poker night. So, I will go and try to avoid the trifecta. Unfortunately, the stakes are exactly 1/10 of what I played last night, so even if I won every hand, I'd still be behind on the weekend.
