First losing day in awhile

The day after Thanksgiving I only played a few hands, 324 to be exact. It was real ugly for some time, as I'd been four-tabling and catching some awful beats at all tables. I was down $6 at one point, and couldn't buy a pot. I was dealt Aces twice, Kings twice, and Queens once, losing every single hand. Obviously those are premium pairs, so I not only lost, but lost some big pots. Also when the day was over, both AKs and AKo were losers for me, but only for a combined loss of 2.25 big bets, or nine cents.

I knew that I wasn't playing that poorly, although my confidence was rattled a bit by the inability to win a hand, especially with my big pocket pairs, since those are what I rely on for big wins. I decided I needed to start some multitabling, and bumped it up to 12 tables. Talk about mass confusion. My computer was buzzing with beeps and clicks, tables constantly telling me it's my action, asking if I want to post the blind on tables freshly opened, unrelenting.

Finally, my multitabling paid off on pocket 7's and the following unfolded:



Gotta love playing with super-agressive and loose opponents. As this hand played out, I was already shutting down tables, getting ready to go out and do some shopping. It was a nice way to gain back a lot of ground, and turn a bad loss for the day into one of just 5.32 big bets.
