Recovery!

     Yesterday seemed like it was going to be a great day of poker at $.10/.25 6max (6 Seated) tables at Fulltilt Poker. If you didn't know, $.10/.25 tables are a $25 full stack buy in, and I usually play 4-6 tables at a time, so $100-150 in play at all times. I started off my session early in the morning, and was crushing,(winning a lot) it looked as if it would be a typical 2-3 double up day. meaning making between $50-75 for the day, which is good for the level I play at. Like I have said in my previous posts, I want to explain how someone with knowledge of poker could win consistently and beat people who think that all there is to poker is cards and luck, which is only one layer of what No Limit Poker really is. Anyways, everything was going smoothly, I was listening to some Pandora Radio (which is really a great site for those of you who don't know of it), and I was dealt Pocket Aces, which is the strongest starting hand in NLHE (No Limit Hold'em), I open raised, to 3x the big blind (3x.25=.75) and was then 3bet (raised by another player) he made it about $2.50, and I 4bet shoved all in on him, he calls with a pair of kings preflop. Now mathematically in this situation I'm in very good shape about 80% preflop to win the hand, and it looked like I would be making another quick $25, and then a King spiked on the river that totally tilted me (frustrated me-play bad). Now as I have said before, poker doesn't have to be a gamble, as you could see with the numbers from that hand match up. I was 80% to win and he was 20%,  so although I lost that time, I would win 8 out of 10 times if I continue to make that play! (Yesterdays Earnings -$177) Typically I would've stopped playing once I lost 3 buy ins ($75) but as I said before, I tilted after that King spiking the river, and never got back into the grove. (Today's Earnings +$75) If I decide to play some more tonight I'm sure I will cover some more of yesterdays losses, you will just have to find out tomorrow, and ill probably post up some pictures of my graph of money won and hands played so you can see the consistency. PLZ NO MORE NIGHTMARES OF BAD BEATS ON THE RIVER!
