Reasons To Stay On Low Stakes

3/6 max a 2 hour session this afternoon. I couldnt have run worse. I was playing on some of the worst tables ive seen this week but along came suck out after suck out after suck out. This was about damage limitation and a tilt test which i passed in both cases but wow at how bad the play was and how they rivered me nearly every time they chased. If i hadnt lost a 50/50 for $1,500 and matey hadnt hit his gutshot he chased for $80 on a 456flop (i had 78) i would only have been £300 down but both of those lost along with countless others and im £1,700 down for today. I didnt tilt though and i actually hardly put a foot wrong which even surprises me given the crap i was taking, i guess its cos i knw how bad they were and also i was itchin to play when i woke up today.

Anyway will go back on later if i dont go out drinking, update below maybe.

...................................................................it was a close call but i decided against the booze in the end.

Many hours later i had reversed the losses, still by playing no higher than 3/6$. Then came the fun bit when i was winding down a nutter sat on 2/4$ hi lo and was raising 95% of hands. Played my patience well and prob took him for over $2000 :) Just done tally as dont expect to go back on the tables and im now £1,700 up for the day. Strange but nice reversal coincidence figure :))

Ah the ups and downs of poker all in one day !
