Another depressing session, at least the ending of it anyway. I have a few more chips than the shortest stack, am SB and have Ac Ks. The BTN open raises 6 BB (1200) which he has done a few times. This time I feel I have some cards to challenge him with, so I reraise him 2400 (I meant to go all in but missed on my last 110 chips), BB folds, and BTN reraises me my last 110. He shows pocket 3's. I have two overcards. Flop 5s 2c 4s. I have a gutshot straight draw but there's only two 3's left. Turn 8s. I now have a flush draw that gives me 17 outs but to no avail. River 7h and I'm gone!
Now that I look at it closer I see I had 1000 more chips than the short stack. so maybe I should have played that hand slower to see what the flop held for my AK, or folded to the 1200 open raise. It was one of the few times I had some really decent cards and I was hoping to build up my chip stack so I could try challenging the leaders. Choosing between being passive and aggressive in these situations is difficult for me. If I pass up this opportunity, of course my cards will hit, if I don't my cards miss and I lose. At least it feels that way at the time, though it's certainly not the exact truth.
Time to get away from this for awhile.
