Four hours of half-sleep at Bally’s, and I’m back down at my morning spot, the Bally’s 3-6. This time there’s a full table. The table’s real loose but I only have a little while to play. I hit a flush and am up 20 or so until this hand:

Ks7s in the SB, no one raises; I complete, four to the flop. Flop’s 7 7 3 rainbow. I bet out. BB folds; MP calls; LP calls. Turn’s a 9. I bet; MP calls; LP raises; I re-raise; MP calls; LP calls. River’s a 4. I check. MP bets. LP calls. I call. MP: pocket 33. LP: pocket A7. I muck in humiliation. Good thing it wasn’t no-limit or I’d been busto.

I’m about to pass out, but the other guys want to try to all play in the same 3-6 game at Bally’s, so I join in for a hundo. Stupid move on my part. The table’s loose and limber, but I’m donktastic. I lose an early hand to Alex when I have KK and he flops a flush that I check-call down to the river. I lose another hand to Steve when he calls my AT raise pre-flop with 9To, and the flop’s 9 T X. He re-raises me on the flop and I should’ve recognized. Later I end up all-in when my flush draw hits on the river, which gets me back to $55. I boost it up a bit more, then am about to leave, satisfied that I rebounded slightly, when I get QQ UTG. I raise, and everyone folds but Alex and the BB, who just call. Rag flop. BB checks; I bet; Alex raises; BB folds; I call. Turn and river are more rags – at least I remember it that way – and I’m check-calling Alex. He shows KK, and I’m pissed that he didn’t re-raise me pre-flop. Forget that I played stupid; it’s all his fault. I go to bed -$68 and get a whole SEVEN hours of sleep Sunday night.
