Well, last night didn't go to well. Dropped two buy-ins in an hour and a half and left. The first one I donkied away a bit, but the last one I just got a major suckout. I flopped top set in a large pot and misplayed the turn, though it wasn't a mistake. I didn't realize the pot was as big as it was (I thought that it was 30% smaller) and should have pushed the turn instead of betting 2/3 of my stack. What ended up beating me was a gutshot, so my original bet was a good one from a mathematical point of view, but there were a few other draws out there as well.

I wasn't angry at all as I was bound to get unlucky. I just reached my limit for the session and said good night. The same players will be their tomorrow, so it's not like I'm missing anything by not reloading again. I also learned that the biggest fish in the game (though the guy who beat my is my new #2, and not just because he beat me) is a big casino winner. I didn't learn an exact amount, but I'm guessing at least $50,000 and more likely $100,000+. She is just the kind of player you want in the game (super-loose passive calling station supremo) so it's nice to know that she isn't going anywhere for a while. So she is going to be my sugar mama.
