Bound To Happen

Won negative money yesterday playing poorly in a game I knew to be bad. Folded when I should have called (or raised when I should have called, depending on your point of view) and lost $50 instead of flopping quads and winning $550. It's hard to call a $200 re-re-raise with pocket 8s and two callers, with one behind already all-in for $150.

I learned many things that night, but the biggest one is that I should have left a $230 winner instead of a $150 loser.

Always one to make lemonade, I made a few new contacts and let a nice, well-off man named Billy buy me dinner.

Losing money hurts me physically. I don't think I'll do it any more!
