Good Lord
This is just what has been typical of my week. I've (for the most part) gotten over being mad at some of the beats I get, I just get annoyed. A little roll of the eyes and I am on to the next hand. So here is my bad beat.

Now before y'all say anything, my post flop play has become very good and I felt that I could get his whole stack if I got it big or if the right flop came bluff him off. I didn't like my flopped kicker, so here I like to call in position and see what he does on the turn. He could very easily have AQ-A10 and JJ-1010. If I didn't improve and he was still showing strength, I was going to dump it fast for a minimal loss. When I improved on the turn, his bet said I have AK or AA, so I made the push. Remember, most of the chips went in when I had the best of it. I got myself back from that with some very good poker (I was never all in at any time).
Sure, maybe I am donk and got what I deserved, but I get to post here and it is up to the rest of you to make your own determination.

Shocking beat XA. And, for what for me, would be about a weeks or so wages. I wouldn't have been impressed. Can I ask you how such a young pup got to play for so much and another thing...what do you actually do when you're not playing poker? - Badsastard . Feel free to PM me - cheers.
Apologies, the pot was nearer a months wages for me.
I practiced my game and moved up the levels, though I am underbankrolled for how much I would like to have for 5/10 NL, I find that my variance is fairly low and I can got fairly easily beat the game.
As for my 'other' time, I spend it hanging out with my friends, reading, and right now I am trying to get into writing. I also visit my family from time to time.
