Decided to not end my first week I took off Saturday but went up sunday for 4 hours and was a drag not to many good hands got hit by a bad beat I had ace high flush off turn he put me all in (187$) in a 1/2$blind game so this is huge but I call of course and on the river he boated up cause my turn card made his 2 pair for j/2....was in for 270 and down to 56$ in chips its 16 preflop I got pocket 8s think about going a.i tryna steal the blinds but I choose to call hit my 8 on the flop and there was a flush draw out there 2 spades on flop so I went all in for my measly 40 got 4 callers and it ran out I woon 224 to put me at 55-60$ behind (about 3 hours into session) about a half hour later I hit a nice little pot for 180$ and played for about another 30 minutes caught nothing and closed out my first 7 day poker week at profession attempt +758 in roughly 21 hours of play over 5 sessions

Not gonna report much tryna forget it besides the lesson I learned don't beat yourself up if u loose and get bad beat. example I played both my a/I hands I lost right. #1 was all in river for 220$ with 200$ in the pot already I lost but I had k/10 diamond. Queen was highest card on board and I had a open ended straight draw + flush draw 1 diamond away on the flop with 2nd nuts (king) also drawring on trips or two pair cause I hit a pair of tens of the flop. Guy won 550$ pot with q/6 off suite for a pair of queens with board kicker....I was sick. Continue to battle buy in 103$ more get up to 260$ (20$ from breaking even as I was 4 hours into session so I was gonna leave if I hit even 280 anyway since it was a shitty icecold gamblers game aka a lot of nonsense high stakes betting on nothing unfortunely none of my good hands received the same nonsense callers) Anyway continueing on I got 260 when I look down im on the button and I see pocket aces....it came around to me for mne to call for 16 so I raise it up to isolate 1-2 people (I learned the lesson also if there is 130$ in pot preflop and gets to me with pocket aces I want to shove all in and hope to take 100$ pot or have only 1 caller either way is better than how I played it) so I raised it too 40$ boom flop is Qs 7H 9H so straight draws are all pretty much dead or gonna come through back door and leaves us with queen high heart flush board. Took 20 seconds decided to shove all in and hope the heart flush chasers fold and somone with a queen calls. Instead everyone folds but this horrible player who I take 100-200 a day from when he plays at my table usually. He had 4/5 hearts and and turn was 2clubs and river was 2hearts leaving me with Aces & two's two pair he flips over 4/5hearts and broke my heart this was my second buyin for 100 first buyin was 180 so I decided to call it quits and leave with money still in my pocket. Will be playing tomorrow hopefully around noon it will be a calm easy to make money table tonight the action was super intense woulda thought it was a 2/5 able all day since it was 1/2/4straddle with a preflop raise to 10-20$ EVERY SINGLE HAND. So unfortuneately im a conservative player until I catch a hand then my betting is super aggressive if I like my hand ill go all in on turn or river 90% of the time.
