Played a long day of poker. Went for 7 hours somehow, which is pretty rare for me since I never start early enough and games always die. Games were pretty good until pretty late tonight, though, which is probably why I didn’t stop playing. Yay Saturdays.
The day was very frustrating. I felt like I ran badly all day. The most frustrating parts of the day was when I was rematching regs, though, and just could not win vs them no matter what I did.
This seems to always happen to me: I rematch a reg for 20-30 games and either break-even or lose a ton of buy-ins. I can think of at least 5 times in the past couple months when I’ve played a number of games vs a reg and lost 6-15 buy-ins, but never the other way around. A lot of the times I doubt myself while this is happening because it seems to happen so often. Every time I rematch a reg, I just lose and lose and lose.
Of course I couldn’t keep my complaints to myself, and my friend told me that I was just running bad. He offered to look at my hand histories during a break today to make sure that it really was just variance, which was nice. He confirmed that I played fine, so oh well. I guess I just run bad when I play regs. Small sample, etc.
