So I'm down. I mean, really down. I was down to about $8 on the roll, as a result of a lot of bad playing.

Tonight I had to win it back. Solid poker all night. And I did great.

Turned the $8 into $10 multitabling two $.05/$.10 tables. Lost one, was down to $6. Turned that into $12.

Two hours later I was at $28. Note that the maximum buy-in for these tables is $10. Class is coming in less than 20 minutes. One more round of blinds and I'll quit. I'm sure this one is going to take me out and I'm going to lose money, but I've been playing solid all night, why not?

Here comes the second to last hand:

Did I play that right? I went all in, I knew he had the ace and that's all because I'd been playing this guy for a good 2 or 3 hours. I had him beaten on the turn, and I knew it. I went all in. He called with the weaker hand. He rivers an ace, giving him a stronger full house. What gives? Is this just a bad beat? I lost my winnings and left with a net gain of $2.40 for the whole night.

The whole thing reeks of bad beat, right? My EV should have been really positive in that situation, right? Or did I play this all wrong?

Also, for future reference, when is it proper to stand up and sit down somewhere else? My $28 chipcount at this $10 maximum buy-in was awesome but now I wish I had left and sat down with $10 so I couldn't have lost so much. I found myself wondering during the game if I should get up because I had too much money on me. I'd have between $5 and $8 more, which is a considerable amount considering where I started from.
