Being a cubs fan the last 28 years I'm pretty familiar with a curse. And knowing about a poker related one, i feel i must inform u....my loyal readers.....the few who are destined to win at this wonderful game of poker due to ur dedication and my guidance.
Well my friends this curse may not make u curl up in the fetal position and ask "why god? Why me? Why did u make me love a team that is destined to lose FOREVER!!!" (not that ive ever done that.....)
This curse will however, cost u a lot of money. This is the second session curse. If you had a winning session, generally of 2 buy ins or more during ur first session of hands, ur are a 99.999% favorite to lose at the next session.
Despite me knowing this i still frequently refuse to believe it and try for that 2nd session. Sure sometimes i get lucky and fade the poker gods and book a 2nd winning session on the day. But more often than not......the curse wins out.
Today im in an interesting and rare position. Ill start at last night around 1am. I couldnt sleep so i played for a couple hours and lost 4buy ins or so. Now i dont know if this counts as my first session of the day or not. I generally assume no, and say the day starts when i wake up. So i woke up this morning and played for a couple hours. I didnt plan on playing a long session so i thought the expected outcome was moderate as far as wins/losses. Wouldnt u know it though in less than an hour i had made 3.5 buy ins. So after showering and getting some lunch(?) I decided to tempt fate and run the 2nd session. I did this for a few reasons 1) i wasnt sure if last night counted, 2) if i lost i had enough time to break and run a 3rd session.....well look there, i won another 3buy ins.
Now its 9pm on a friday (i have no life so going out is not an option) and im not sure if i should go for rd 3. I just bought 1/2 my buddy in a bigger game than he normally plays, so i may go sweat that a bit.
