Should Have Gone Home

My session yesterday can be best described as a rough ride.

Here is a breakdown on how it went:

No playable hands for the first three hours.

I should have gone home.

Got 10-10 back-to-back and both held up. Sitting on $150 profit.

I should have gone home.

Went to men’s room. An elderly gentleman in the handicap stall yelled out to me to help him wipe his ass and get him back in his wheelchair. I declined. I am convinced this kicked off a chain of bad karma events.

I should have gone home.

Next hand is A-K. I flop top two pair and am last to act against a crazy Asian player. He bet and I raised him hard on every street. He had a straight draw with Q-10 and hit the miracle Jack on the river. One-third of my stack is gone.

I should have gone home.

The very next hand is 10-9 suited. Again, I am last to act. I flop two pair. A young gun keeps betting into me. I keep raising him. He goes runner-runner for a straight. Two-thirds of my stack is gone.

I should have gone home.

After two consecutive bad beats, I am frustrated and decide to push it with K-9 off. I never play K-9 anything.

The big blind calls a big bet pre-flop. She is a new player at the table. I flop top two pair. She bets and I raise hard. This happens on each street. I am pot committed and all-in on the river. She spikes an ace on fifth street and shows A-9 for a better two pair. All of my stack is gone.

I finally went home.
