Idiot Poker

This says it all:

The rest can be summed up in three hands:

Cracked the hammer with pocket nines early on with a nine-high flop. The runner-runner seven deuce only gave my opponent two pair to my set.

Limped with KJ spades under the gun. Flop was all rags with two spades and I put out a bet hoping to take it right there, but Iggy smooth-calls me. The turn is a K and I bet out again. This time Iggy puts in a big raise. I re-raise him all-in for a little bit more and he calls. I miss my flush and my top pair is no good against his set of threes.

Doubling Iggy up left me with less than a starting stack, but still a lot of breathing room. Still, I got impatient with folding and when the SB raised my BB twice in a row, I pushed with A7. Of course, he calls with AJ. Oops. Flop holds both a J and a 7 and I'm out in 94th out of 109.

Not content with simply being a losing tournament player, I decided to lose two buy-ins at the cash tables, too, giving back my prior three days of winnings at Full Tilt.

Poker as a procrastination tool can be so -EV.

hey, um, that screenshot - that's not really necessary to keep, is it? heh. Man, I had so hoped to do better in my first WPBT event, but second to bust out was minutely better than first.
