I am majorly tilted ATM. Hoping that typing this confession will help me get over it and move on.
History
I have been playing online for many years. Slightly winning player that is on a major down swing. I have been also working on my live game play. Have a casino about 20 minutes from the house. I have played in about 10 live tournaments in my life. Most of which have been low buy-in turbos or low buy-in shallow structure. I am a losing live player but learning.
Had some time today so I went to the Casino to play in the $40 Turbo. I get there and find that the schedule has changed to a $150 deep stack with 30 minute levels. Above my normal buy-in but does not cause a problem if I lose it. I decide to play. Starting stacks are 25K. In that starting stack is 3 orange colored 5K chips.
We are at level three (75/150) and playing well. I have won my share of pots at showdown and by being aggressive. Stack is at 34ish. Chip leader at the table when this hand happens:
Villain 1 on the button seems pretty TAG, lost a big pot to me a few orbits earlier.
Villain 2 definite LAG, reg, knows everyone in the casino. Has called many flops with position. Has recently lost 3 large pots.
The table is 7 handed. I am UTG+1, folded to me, I have KJs and raise to $400, button and Big Blind call. Pot is $1275.
Flop is 10,9,4 with the 9 and 4 being my suit. I have two overs, gutshot and 2nd nut flush draw.
Villain 2 checks, I c-bet $625. Villain 1 folds, Villain 2 calls. Pot is $2525
Turn card is a K. Villain 2 Leads for $1300, I am in seat 10 and villain is in seat 3. I look at his stack and he does not have many chips. I wear glasses to help read my cards but have a hard time seeing stakes at a distance. I ask him if he had any yellow chips left. He answers “NO”. I figure he must only have a 2 or 3 K back and I put him all in.
I ****ing forgot about the 3 orange chips for 15K. The bet is about 4X the pot. He thinks about it and calls 44. His trips hold up.
I realize my mistake when the dealer tells me how much I owe villain 2. I announce to the table that I forgot about the orange chips. The table is pretty quite and no one makes any comments. I feel like an idiot and begin to tilt. A couple hands later Villain 2 sits out a few hands and walks to other tables to share his good news with his buddies. Now I am beyond tilted. Still have 22 bigs and ready to fight back. I pick up Q8s with 3 other limpers in the pot. Flop is Q,8,4. I get all in with 2 other players. Want to guess what I loose to? You guessed it, 44 again. I am out. I could not get out of there fast enough.
Just feeling like it times to find another hobby.
Thanks for reading.
