When You Start To Dream Bad

Posted by icemonkey9 on Mar 20, 2010 in coolers | 1 comment

I took a nap today after donating some of my time to a local worthy cause.  It was a good deep nap that I needed.  I slept for two hours which for me is all I need to pull an all nighter.

I've had my share of poker dreams in the past and I think it didn't help that before my nap I watched the recording of the last WPT episode where Tommy Vedes luckboxed his way to the win.  I lost respect for his game watching him play during the last two episodes ... imo he's a tournament donk all the way.  But what does my opinion matter ... well ... it will when I'm in the booth one day.

Anyways, I took a nap and dreamed I was playing poker.  It was SO vivid!  Here's the hand.

Me: 4 8
Villain: 4 8

We each went to the flop after I made some big raise on the button.  By the way this hand was played live in my dream, not online.

FLOP:

Board: 4 8 A

I make a cbet, the villain raised and I shoved all-in.  He made the call and we saw that we were going to chop.  That is, until the rest of the cards were dealt ...

Turn: 4 8 A 3

River: 4 8 A 3 K

Yes, in my DREAM I got the money in and took a runner-runner bad beat.  Clearly, my sub-conscious is focused on how bad the run as been the last few weeks and it came to light in my dream.  I do not plan to play for the next few days and after this blog post, put poker completely out of my mind.... at least, I hope I do because I definitely don't want to take another massive beat in my sleep!
