So, I decided that I am just an angry poker player. I mean, I study the game...reading books, online articles, watching others...I try just about everything, and still come out on the losing end. I don't play for much, but when I do, it's seems to be only a matter of time before it's gone. I was watching some people I know who are winning online players, and they are not doing anything top secret. I mean, maybe there are people in the world who are just un-luckier than others. Maybe thats pessimistic thinking...maybe it's reality? Who knows. Let me give you one example.

I have pocket deuces. Flop...A 2 7, rainbow. Perfect. Dude bets, I raise, he goes all in, I call. He could've easily made the same moves having AK or AQ but nooooo...he has to flop over the nuts. These type of hands seems to happen to me over and over and over. I can't play this hand any better really, can I? Everything I have ever seen and read, talks about shoving with trips. Is it a bad beat, or just a bad play? Calling would have just delayed the heartache...

Anyway, I am taking a break. That would be the smart thing to do, especially since I am now so pissed off at poker.

I know that I can be a good, winning player in time. I watch the way that some of these players play, and it amazes me that they even have chips in front of them. I am going to rebuy in August. Giving me a nice 3-4 week hiatus. Then it's time to take home some big money.

...Smile, today could be your last.
