Deuces
Twice tonite I lost huge pots to guys hitting deuces for huge pots. The first time my AA ran into 22 when he flopped quads and I ivered an A on an 22KQA board and he of course got me allin for a big pot! The second time was in spot late in a fpp million sit and go where I somewhat foolishly pushed KT from the button with a good sized stack. This is a spot where I probably could have almost folded into the seat but I figured I could steal the blinds one more time and really solidify my spot.I was called by a guy in the bb for 10x the bb with 22. For crying out loud. This call is so bad it hurts and of course he rivers a deuce after I had taken the lead with a K on the turn. I was left with a couple chips (yeah he risked all his chips for no good reason with 22) and busted a couple hands later. So in the end it was a frustrating day. I saw it coming a mile away really. I was very due to have a weak session, but in the end I lost because the cards went against me more than the fell well for me.
I am officially done my Christmas shopping. Today was a madhouse and the rain put a damper on the fun. Plus I was having trouble finding a couple of specific things and then made a couple of impulse buys. Out of the blue I bought a thermostat for the house. WTF! I mean, yeah we need to install these but we need lots of shit and I did not do any research. Saw it, bought it! It was like going on tilt!
Anyway today's loss will delay my withdrawal for a few more days at least. I am now 20 days over my Dec1 deadline for my latest withdraw. Technically I had enough in my account today. But I really want a little more leeway than I gave myself last time when i went on a downturn right after I withdrew money from my account. It just made playing way too stressful. There is defianately a psychological barrier when making withdraws. I have played a lot on a fairly short bankroll so know my limits. And when I withdraw too early it puts a lot of pressure on my game. However, there is also a time pressure to reach an amount to withdraw within a reasonable amount of time. And I am quite overdue. And that puts pressure on the next due date. Sigh. Anyhow, hopefully tomorrow will not be too overly taxing and I can play some decent poker and get er done.
