This can’t be healthy.  The fact that I am sick and still up playing poker.  I ended up playing well into the morning and I am exhausted!

Things started off brutal tonight, I just don’t understand how I can be card dead for so long.  But after almost 3 hours, I was up $19 somehow.  That was all from playing at 10/20 draw.  Then I took my card dead ways with me to 15/30 where I played 3 handed against 2 aggressive opponents.  Being card dead against those opponents is never a good thing!  I ended up dropping my buy-in there in a little more than an hour.

But as that was going I sat back down at the 10/20 table, where for once….I was getting some decent hands!  I ended up winning just over $400 in about 25 minutes.

Do you see a pattern here?  When I am card dead, I lose in a longer period of time or at the least I break even.  When I am actually getting some cards, I win big quickly.  So I am happy about that.

To end the night, and the reason I am up so late while sick is that I was playing HU at 10/20.  Again card dead.  It was brutal.  I was break even for the longest time.  Thankfully though, my opponent never left and we played for nearly 2 and a half hours.  I ended up winning $657 when I started to get some decent hands towards the end.

But seriously, I really feel like I have been card dead.  I am not making this stuff up.  It has been a long, demoralizing last couple of months since I feel I am way below the norm in card distribution.  But I need to learn to fight through these ruts, and at times I am not doing a very good job of it.

But as it stands, I ended up winning  $525 in a long, exhausting night in which I really fought to win.
