That's called variance

Poker's really taking it to me right now. I just finished a poker tourney where I got not a single playable hand. Finally reraised in frustration against an all in and a call with 33. Knew I was probably beat, but I was already out of the tourney mentally, and figured either I'd be out of the tourney, which was fine, or I'd triple up and get fired up again.

And at the tables, I decided to take a shot above where I normally play. It didn't go well. My overpair JJ ran into QQ, and then my QQ ran into JJJ. Down about 50 for the day, which is almost a quarter of my stack. And to top it off, I had to leave the computer for a second at a lower stakes game, only to find out I'd been gone too long and my 66 had been folded. Naturally, I caught the 6, and the 2 top pair woulda paid me off for everything I had at the table. Add to this a couple of evil cards on the river and it's not been my best day. Sigh. It's all part of the game, and I'll get it back, I know, but sometimes this game can just make you feel helpless.

I went to a movie last night "Children of Men" It's quite a good movie, and I recommend it, but I warn you, it will disturb you. Not that it's graphic, but...I wanted to talk about it, but I need some time to be sure I fit my words to my feelings. I'll post it tomorrow.

See ya round, guys.
