Busto in Bahamas
I played three big hands. One I had pocket queens and a maniacal image and ended up throwing them away on the river on a ten-high board. One I made a big bluff hoping the guy had top pair and would throw it away and he moved on me with a likely set. The last hand I raised with pocket sixes and the big blind called. I got checkraised all in on a 884 flop with two diamonds and I wound up calling only to be shown Q8. I was pretty stunned to be up against that hand. I got completely blindsided there and it was a long walk back to the house the eight of us are sharing.
I don't know what to think really. I shouldn't have any complaints about here or life in general but I feel deeply unsatisfied. Small nuisances are getting under my skin. I'm getting annoyed, jealous, and frustrated by stupid things. I think that I am sick of losing these damn poker tournaments and watching others have success just pisses me off. I also think I am lacking competitive outlets and that is creating pent-up rage inside me. Later this year I'll be playing insane amounts of poker but right now I need to play more or find another consistent source of competition.

My words exactly man. That's exactly how I feel. Imagine being in my shoes. How much I still have to learn how I'm not even close to being able to play playing poker as a living. You're living a dream compared to me. And I'm living a dream compared to my friends. I hope you recognize that. I think the shittiest part is that we both feel like we can do something but still haven't been able to do it. Mine is playing for as high of stakes as you one day and yours is to win a big tournament. Hopefully we'll make a breakthrough. Good luck man.

Yo. It's Shannon. We're going over to eat at Steakout in the casino right now (704 pm). We probably won't be out of there until around 8:30 or so, so try to catch me there or down at the cage after that I'm going to register. We won't be in the room for a while.
