Today was sick. I feel sick. I want to punch the crap out of my computer screen and pound the remains into tiny little pieces. I do realise that thinking in this manner won't change the fact that I may have played like a donk or the fact I lost $150 today. I need to pick up the pieces (of my computer screen) and get right back into the trenches tomorrow.
I guess I feel bad because I got coolered so many times, it just looks bad from both an EV and winnings perspective. Some of the random things that happened today. I stacked on on monotone boards with KK, only to be shown dumb shit like 74s. In one pot, villain bets flop small OOP, I call with a gut-shot. He checks the turn, I bet the turn since I picked up the second nut FD to go with my GS. Flush comes in (and pairs the board) and he checks the river and I commit myself betting half pot, get re-raised and he shows 55 that made a set on the flop and filled up on the river ....
Wow, I realised today that there is nearly $3k difference between my EV and winnings over 9k of games at the $16s. It's probably outside 1 standard deviation, but what can you do other than play and hope things improve?
