Day 1: 4,060 hands at a loss

Posted by icemonkey9 on Mar 25, 2010 in prop bet | 0 comments

Today sucked at the tables and right now at 10pm I'm seriously too tilted to play a great game so I am calling it early unfortunately.  BW ran a billion times worse and set some world record for being under EV for a day of play.  Meanwhile I ran up against a ton of standard situations where I ended up on the losing end of things.  Here's the Day 1 graph:

Started bad, middle was good, then ended really horrible.  I promise only to share 1 disgusting hand a day, otherwise I might have to finally change the name of this blog to "Icemonkey9's Endless Bitching About Bad Beats and Coolers" which I still might do due to popular request.

I'm an 82.2% favorite there at the flop with the flopped straight, flush draw and straight flush draw. He hits of course.  Queue the 2.5 buy-in EV swing in one hand.  AA was a losing hand for me today.  Just one of those days.  Actually when I post my quarterly report, you'll see it's been one of those years actually.

So I am a little behind pace and need to put in 4,600 hands a day to achieve the goal.  BW put in over 7k today but he's the man imo, today was one of his biggest victories as far as I am concerned.  I can't believe he didn't freak out lol ... anyways, that's today's report.
