I played poker last night and was down, then up and finished down again. It was a small loss, only $40 but when you were up $150 at one point is always frustrating to go home a loser.
I flopped a set of 8's early in the night and won some other small pots to get the profit, but then had some misfortune later on. I had some nice hands snapped off and then I had KK and ran into AA. That is the nightmare situation in No Limit Hold Em but fortunately I got away from it only losing about $100 (me an my opponent both had $300). It could have been a lot worse. But my opponent played them pretty slow and the board was bad enough for me to get away from the KK cheaply.
My last blog was discussing how well I have been doing lately at basketball betting. So you had to know right after writing that blog I would go 0-2 the next night! That is what I did last night. One was a half a point loss (had the Clippers +6.5 and they lost by 7) and was a tough one to swallow. But you get used to the highs and lows and have to stay the course. Tonight I am on the Miami Heat -5 against the Knickerbockers of New York.
I will probably play a few hours of poker tonight but it is possible Friday and Saturday will be light gambling days, with just a few sports bets and maybe no poker. I am moving on Saturday and Friday I am taking the day off from work to pack and get ready. I am sure I will find a baseball or basketball game to bet on though. I will keep you posted.
