I'm done! Played 2 more $10 games simultaneously and lost both. Coincidentally, I had AK suited within 30 seconds in both games...got all in before the flop in both games and, of course, lost both. Lost to pocket kings in one and pocket tens in the other. Both of the other guys flopped 3 of a kind. I did still have 4 to a flush in one hand, but it didn't happen.
So, back I go to the $5 games. I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. Clearly, for whatever reason, I did much better at the $5 games. I really do think a lot of it was luck and that over a longer haul things would have turned in favour of me in the $10 games, but this is poker. Strange things happen. Funny that I will be going back to the $5 games after playing exactly 30 games in the $10 format though. Hopefully, my record is as good as it was the last time I played 30 $5 games.

Your overall record is still nothing to slouch about.
ReplyDeleteGood for you going back to the $5 games. I think it is that 'staying within the guidelines you set' attitude which will keep it fun in the big picture of it all.
Hey, you're still up over $50....that's pretty darn good.
Here's hoping you have a little more luck down in the fives again.
