Both tables started off fairly well, with the eventual winning table going great. I played fairly solid, only making sensible bluffs and semi bluffs where I thought I was in with a good shot of winning. At one point, I had around $15 and $26, but it all went downhill after that.
The losing table, I slipped to about $6 on bad flops and a couple of misfiring bluffs (although two of those I got called on the turn and was ahead until the guy hit the river). Standard stuff really. Preflop was still good, so that's fine (I may have been overly cautious with some marginal hands, but I wasn't getting much respect). The other $2 went on trying to recoup my losses, so I ran out while I still had some money as I was starting to get wound up.
Winning table went shit on one hand that cost me about $10. With JQs on 6x4sTs9x board, villain reraised all in for $5 into a $13 pot and I called. He'd been showing unusual strength all the way, so I figured I had flush and straight draws at a minimum (15 outs), with possibly more against something like AT or JJ. He flipped AKs leaving me with still 12 outs ( slightly bad call, but not disastrous) and that was the end of that chapter.
At times like these, when I've had the opportunity to walk away from a table with two buy-ins under my belt, I often feel like I should have just stood up (even if I then sit back down somewhere else). Really that's only protectionism and it's not a profitable strategy (sort of like the donk-and-run). Last night and this morning have convinced me that I can beat this level solidly (even without having played for a long time) so I know the money is coming back to my account eventually. Just sucks to have recorded a losing session as the first one back on the trail.
