Vegas -- Stepping Down
LAS VEGAS -- So it had to happen sooner or later. You bring a middle reliever (Kingdom of Loathing shirt) into Yankee Stadium and he's going to get shelled.
Every pot I was in exploded on me. I lost to a flush and two straights, a boat on the river. I could have saved 7 bets if I just folded when I was check-raised on the turn but couldn't bring myself to do so.
So I ended up losing $695 (when I could have lost $480. Even still it was just a bad hour at the Bellagio. Still that was less than 30BB for the session and I'm still averaging 1.33 BB/hour for my short-lived 15/30 career at Bellagio.
"I've enjoyed being the gross donator this evening. Perhaps I will be of service in the future," I told the table tongue-in-cheek as I got up and left.
It was like Daniel Negreanu when he was in the WSOP rebuy event. Get beat. Rebuy. Get beat. Rebuy. Repeat and rinse. (He actually was there later, playing with Ivey. Negreanu was wearing a dark shirt the same color as the Bellagio dealers and easily could have passed as one). His account of that evening here.
A streak of eleven trips in a row making money had to end sometime. There's still time left, however, and I easily could come back.
But one thing is for sure. The losses put me down to maybe $6,400 or so in bankroll and I really have to, no matter how good the $15/30 games are, step down for the time being.
It's the right thing to do. No need to go broke over a game.

Temporary setback, my friend.
Good to be keeping a level head about it. Step back, regroup and you'll have 'em where you want 'em soon enough.
And, for god's sake, don't send a regular T-shirt to do the sabre-tooth lime's work!

Kuro, I feel like you are making some mistakes that you might not realize your making while playing. Please don't take offense to this, but if your just starting out playing 15/30 and it sounds like you are, you may want some advice. If you want to send me a hand history or two. I'd be more then happy to take a look at what you are doing.
Feel free.
Robert
