Do you believe in bad karma???

Bad Karma's a bitch... So, I guess I better fix this in a hurry.

Dear Poker gods, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to make money by putting ridiculous donkeys like this one... and then royally f*cking me in the ass to see if I really enjoy bad beats (I never said I enjoyed them... I just said to put a positive spin on them)...

Wow, calling all in with KQ... not even suited. What a loser... Oh and even better, a suckout artist turned hit & run artist. Thanks for getting uberlucky and then running immediately after the hand. Good thing you did cuz that's the only way you can hold on to my money, you loser.

And not even a "ty"... I mean I gave him the obligatory "nh" to the 5 outer he hit and not a word... and even worse, hit & run artist #2... What's with all these losers that get lucky and immediately leaves? Morons. Well, maybe they're smart. Otherwise, I would take my money back with interest from these clowns.

Well, I will say though that my overall impression of 6 max tables at 1-2NL is donkalicious (I feel like someone else coined this term before but seems very appropriate right now)... The plays are awful, players are generally weak, and that generally equates to more money for the taking. I decided to drop down to 1-2NL as I try to get used to the 6 max table game as opposed to the full ring games I've been playing at 2-4NL. The action's definitely faster and more enjoyable but I think I might be playing a little too loose. I was raising with 30%+ of my hands. Even donks eventually figure out that I don't have a hand. I just need to tighten up a little but talk about a beatable game... here it is... now if the poker gods would stop fuckin with me, I'd be ok...

What a crappy way to end April... I barely eked out a 4 figure profit. That's so weak... I don't play poker to eke out wins like that... Good news is, despite my week from hell last week in terms of work, I played enough to qualify for the ironman freeroll (the ironman level) so hopefully, there's some more free money coming my way.

Alright, I'm out!
