Rush 9 player .05/.10 500 Hands Down $31.41 Blinds ate $7.35 Rake $6.90

Well, after taking away $62.50 earlier today, I gave back $31.41 in Rush tonight. As so often happens with me, I win little and lose big. 1st big lost was hand 15 w/pocket A's (Ah Ad), I was SB. UTG+1 open raises to .20, rest fold to BTN who calls, I re-raise to .50, BB & UTG+1 fold, BTN calls. Flop 7d Qh 5h. So far so good.  I bet .60 into the $1.22 pot and the BTN raises me to $1.20.  Feeling they might just have a pair of Q's, I raise to $3.95 and they call. Turn 2d. I decide to go all-in w/my last $5.67 at this point and the BTN calls showing pocket 5's (5c 5s), hitting a set on the flop. River is 3d and I need to reload. :-/

That seemed to be the way much of the night went. I have good cards and tend to bet into better hands and lose. Or when I seem to have hit something like say, a straight with QJ high, the other player who was betting against me also had the QJ and we chop, and with the rake, I'm down another .17 cents instead of a nice winner increasing my $$$. I end up in not the best frame of mind. Obviously my mind doesn't get into the right set for good poker play when I'm playing Rush Cash sessions.

I lost $10.12 w/AA that showed up once, $6.15 w/QQ that showed up once, and $11.87 w/TT that showed up 6 times. Now on the TT's I overplayed them, so though disappointing, I should have got off the losing hands sooner.
