Gah! So mad at myself right now. Last night started off great... bought in on two tables of 10NL, and within an hour or so had one up to $27 and the other at $18... so that's like two and a half buy-ins up! Wheeeee!

Then I had some friends come over, so I decided to quit and we started drinking and smoking. All's good, winning night, now time for some fun. Problem is that after they left, I got the bright idea to go back to the game still drunk.

I hate playing poker drunk, it does not help me make smart decisions. For instance, I'm holding KJo. Pfr of about 3bb, I call. Flop comes KQJ.... villain pushes all-in... and I f'in call? My read on the guy was that he played a bit loosely, but $16 into a $2 pot, and I call with two pair? I mean come on, he could've been on KK, QQ, JJ, AT, T9... anything. I hate two pair. More annoyingly, he flips over KQ to beat my KJ... After that move I was on tilt, and I didn't even realize it til after the fact due to the damn alcohol.

So, moral of the story, don't come back for more action after you're tanked... it doesn't work out well. I lost what I'd won earlier plus another buy-in before I left. *sigh* Time to take the weekend off I think and continue giving myself a stern talking-to.
