return from the valleys

Having returned refreshed from a weekend in the valleys I feel alert and confident and was hoping for a big session as I'm doing really quite poorly in having real big days at the moment. All was going well about 1.5k up and then muppet boy hits a lucky 10 against me for a $1000 pot which has annoyed me sufficiently to come off and have a break as it just seems to sum up the lack of momentum I have at the moment when playing. Hand is below and to be honest it's only being posted because I'm still steaming a bit from it. If the guy had more chips I'd have called his raise and folded the turn when the 10 came so because of his medium sized stack I've lost more than I otherwise would have

grrr it's just so annoying as I knew I was beaten before the cards were turned. I like players who do this as they end up donating a lot of money to me it's just frustrating when they hit which on this particular hand he will around 20% of the time. Ah well this sort of thing happens and I'll be fine about it in 5 minutes, I've had far far worse happen for much larger amounts so it could be worse!

Anyway I'm going back to watching UFC 73 till midnight, the prospect of seeing grown men beaten up in a variety of ways will enable me to view the face of people who beat me and imagine I'm hitting them repeatedly
