a red letter day…

So today was shaping up to be a huge day. I was one of the chip leaders on Day 2 of Mansion 1k 6max nearing the money.

I finished about 10 from the bubble after running my QQ into AJ in a huge pot, then running TT into AA in a blind battle not long after when I was a bit short. Next time, come again.

I then had the T6 250k euro guar which is always a fun tourney on Monday mornings. I put about 12 horsies in this one, and one of my horsies galloped away to huge chip lead for most of the tourney, but we both donked off to finish in the 60-70 range for a lot of wasted effort. I was in for about 3k euro in that tourney, so I got pumped a bit there.

My spirits were still high as I was almost certain to win a fortune on Oscars betting. Whilst waiting for the delayed telecast, I played my first real session online this year for a few hours. Dropped 4k.

My growing tilt increased when I was forced to listen to dozens of inane, poorly delivered speeches. They should have a rule where you lose your Oscar if your speech sucks. I’m happy to adjudicate these decisions, and I would have taken the Oscar off about 90% of recipients this morning. They have so much time to prepare their speeches, its really quite ridiculous how bad they all are.

Also they need two Oscar ceremonies. It’s ridiculous that everyone has to listen to some joker stutter his way through a boring thank you speech as he receives an award for best lighting. They should have one short ceremony for the awesome categories like Best Picture, Best Actors, Supporting Actors, Screenplay etc…and one ceremony that no one watches to hand out the rest of the awards.

I needed just about every single one of my Oscar bets to come home to break even on the day, including the long shots. I got pretty heavily on Casey Affleck for Best Supporting Actor and some more on other bets. I finished 0/15 or something.

Then I cried myself to sleep.
