Down 4.5 buy-ins today so far. I've made a few dumb calls vs. short stacks (die, short stacks, die!), however I think overall it's mostly me running pretty bad. 5 big hands:
Two vs. the same guy. A TAG-y guy with good stats kept trying to outplay me, which I would respect, except he kept getting really lucky. He called my CO raise from the button with A2 against my AJ. Of course both an A and a 2 got on the board and I stacked off. We were really going at it, both making... odd, thought not necessarily bad plays, and I got him to shove a gutshot straight draw with a weak backdoor flush into my top pair (I also had his high card dominated) for 150bb. I was an ~80% favorite, but his gutshot got there.
My QQ was cracked by A2. There were actually 2 Aces on the board which really decreased the odds of him actually having one, or I think I could have actually found a fold.
My KK hit top set with a K on the turn on a board with three clubs. He had the Ace high flush, and I didn't fill up.
My TT got to the river on an 8QQ6Q board. He just called pre-flop, so there was no way he had AA or KK; JJ was possible but not likely. I had a bad feeling, but called his river re-shove to see quads. It's really hard to get away from a house vs. quads, but I'm still not sure if I like my play or not.
I'll probably play another 1.5-2 hours this evening before we head to Delaware, you'll all get another update then.
