i suck at poker

it seems the more i learn, the worse i get. i do pride myself on knowing A LOT more about poker than your average female, but i think when it comes down to it... i'm a pussy. i'm afraid to bluff and to make big bets. i get bullied out of pots. i suck!

ugh it is so frustrating. in yesterday's weekly poker tournament, i finally made it to the last table (out of 2 tables), but i was the first one out. not surpising since i was significantly short-stacked with only $700 in chips and the big blind being $200. on the 2nd or 3rd hand, i went all-in with A9 off-suit, after 4 players folded in front of me, only to be called by the chip leader who had been dealt pocket aces. POCKET ACES!!! are you freakin' kidding me?

funny though, the only pot i won the whole night was when i got dealt pocket aces and my opponent missed his straight draw. i took a fairly large pot and then basically just folded every shit hand i was dealt until i made the final table. looking back, now i'm pissed that i didn't attempt to play more hands.

but seriously, what are you supposed to do when all you're getting are K4s, J5s, 92's? fuck it. i quit poker.

oh wait... i'm going to vegas this weekend. ok fine. i'll quit poker next monday. give me the nuts in the meantime.
