A Tough, Not So Good Day at the Tables

I played for a couple of hours yesterday and didn't do so well. The PartyPoker BR when we last talked was at $151. It now stands at $107. And the tough part is that before it settled at $107, I had run it up to $171. I got busted for $30 in a .50 NL game when my QQ ran into a turned set of fours. Then I played in a $11 SNG and busted out sixth. No hands of note. Then I lose about $25 more playing .50 NL on a couple of donk moves and getting rivered on a flush. It could've been worse but, I flopped a set of fours and made quite a bit back when my opponent had KK.

I did see maybe the sickest bad beat I've ever personally witnessed last night. It went down like this. The flop was Q22. Innocuous looking at first. Then the betting started. I wasn't involved in the hand, but two stacks of more than $50 in a .50 NL game got all the money in after the turn. One guy had QQ, the other guy had 22. One flopped a full house and was beaten by flopped quads. The QQ kinda slow played his hand as he only raised to $1 preflop. That's just asking for trouble.

Back to the grind today. I imagine I'll have plenty of time to play this weekend as it's supposed to rain.

Partypoker BR at $107.
