Meh

Had a good T-giving. Lots of rest. Won $200 and then lost it playing online. I think I should try and move up levels to $50nl. I "took a shot" at the $100nl level, two tabling. It didn't work out. This hand make me realize I still suck.

EP raises and I reraise in MP w JJ to like $12 ( I don't remember exactly just roughly). Flop comes A A blank. EP checks quickly (at the time, I actually noted that he checked VERY quickly). I made a CB of around $20. EP calls. So, at that point I'm thinking maybe he has a pp too. Turn is a blank, EP checks, I check (good move by me--control pot size and losses in case he has an A). River is another blank and EP bets 30-something. I call and he has AQ. I have NO reason why I played it that badly--did I even play it bad? There were no straights or flushes out there. So he hit his A, I guess it happens. Funny thing is that if only one A hit the board, I prolly would have bailed. Anyways, I don't like the thought of losing a hundy in one hand so I will stay down at the micros for awhile longer.

Couldn't get a wireless signal last night so I didn't play -- I hate when that happens. So ghetto is I.

Another one

Again. Oh, both this hand and the hand from the previous post were the FIRST HANDS of the SNGs. I'm folding AA on the first hand next time... I promise.
