A Winning Monday, but a bad taste left in my mouth

So finally I ran well for the most part today ... hit some hands and won some money. I was at +160 for the day and decided that one more session would be a great thing ... and then "it" happened and of course I get fucked again (warning ... on tilt). So I just "quit while I was ahead" and for such a great day it's so crappy that I just get hit by two gross coolers, one of which I can't even explain his thinking - I had an overpair and put him all in, he called with Ace High (air) ... and hit his 3 outer on the river for about $40. I finish the day +100ish.

ANYWAYS - no whining right? Sorry. At least I can say I am at $200ish below EV the last week or so. Yay for that.

I can't believe how dramatically my mood just changed lol ... this was going to be a brag post! I really wanted to try to get in another 350-500 hands as I try to make a late surge to keep Goldstar which is in serious jeopardy. But I recognized I was very tilty from the two beats (the other I flopped trip Kings, put him in, and he had a gutshot+bottom pair and hit the gutshot on the river) just now so I stopped playing.

Again - sorry! Sheesh! Sometimes you have to get it out of your system though - right? Right.

Okay now that I've moved on from my piss poor ending, I can say that I played well and did make great moves and good reads and got myself out of bad situations and put my opponents in bad ones. That felt good. It felt good to hit some big hands, but I did lose with quads once today. Crazy I know.

Finally ... here's a screenshot of a HUGE hand I hit. It's such a big hand there's not even a name for it!
