DISQUS

that is a fantastically vivid trip report. it conjures up some awkward memories of idiiotically long sessions for me.
having a bad run (like your AA hand but repeated over and over with different characters and different high value hands in seemingly great spots) when you already know you've stayed too long is especially grueling. because the anger is ultimately aimed at yourself, and you wonder if you'll ever completely learn how to leave when you're up. if you are in fact just gambling, enacting some harried impulse, and not PLAYING poker. having even one out of 10 sessions turn into a bleary eyed marathon is too much. for me the ugliness of the situation seems enough to want to avoid it at all costs in the future, it is ususally bad for the bankroll, but the problem is i can actually stay up and focused for a longass time, until it's suddenly too late and i fall off the cliff. easy to avoid in theory... anyway the thug donk brings up some new ideas for shirts.... NICE HAND SIR... maybe with a nice A 2, or 8 10 below, or I SOLD MY MOM FOR A FLUSH DRAW, YOU'R / I'M DRAWING DEAD, I DON'T CHOP, OUTS ARE FOR SISSIES.... all from recent observations. also it's amazing you were so dead on about the BBs' AA, because
in that kind of game i see so many people, especially in the "late" am, push with KK or even QQ there, not really thinking about your hand, just being happy to finally see a hand themselves and throwing out some aggro. but you are right to see the bright spot-- having that moment of clarity in a hectic environment is a good sign. enduring some hideously shitty loss with a sense of humor seems to be the key. again.. easy in theory
