Last night I had a rough session playing in a short handed live 500/1000 PLO game. In total I lost 363k. In terms of BI's this wasn't a big loss for me but losing about 25% of what I was up for the year in one night wasn't too fun. I thought I played really well and even quit after 10 hours when I felt myself getting tired instead of tilting away the remaining 200k that I have at the bellagio.

The game was really great, probably one of the best I have played all year, with people who sat after they had been out partying. Can't really ask for more than playing 500/1000 with drunk people. I didn't really lose any massive pots just 50k-100k here and there.

In one hand against a drunk player I opened from the button with AK45ss in a four handed game while there was a straddle so I opened to 6k. The drunk big blind called and the two other players folded. The flop was K82r giving me top pair top kicker and a backdoor flush draw. I bet 10k into a 15k pot. He check raised me to about 35 or 40k and I called. Turn was a 2 bringing a flush draw. He checked I bet like 20k into an 90k pot and he called. River was a brick he checked and I checked back to get shown A642. Not a horrible beat or anything, just kinda sucks since I haven't played this large in a few years.

Its funny how losing 363k bothered me. I used to not get to bothered about losing but for some reason losing 25% of my profit on the year really got to me. There was a great game supposed to be running tonight but the thought of the possibility of losing 500k or so just sounds so unappealing to me. My brother is getting married this weekend so I am going to take the weekend off and see how I feel about playing next week when I get back into town.

All that said I really don't regret my decision to play. I was very focused and played well, and the game was amazing. Not much else you can do but put yourself in those good situations.

So today I played some 50/100 HU PLO on fulltilt against a very good aggressive player, I won 50k off of him and 40k overal today. We played for a few hours and I ran very hot. I think I was out played, but ran well above expectation.
