Roller Coaster Ride at Party
I am pretty sure that I've said this before, but just to be sure... I usually play a minimum of 20 raked hands at Party Poker each day. I do this to get the bonus Party Points, which accumulate over time, allowing me to get various gifts from Party Poker.
Today was one of those days that I did not feel like playing much, so I sat down for the exclusive purpose of clearing 20 raked hands. The best and fastest way for me to do this is to sit down at two $50NL 6-max tables. I usually play tight-aggressive and win or lose less than $5. Not so today -- things got very exciting. I freely admit that I played a few of these hands horribly, but it was still quite the roller coaster ride today.
Table 1: Completely Boring
I played 25 hands at this table. Not a single one of these hands had a net win or net loss of more than $0.50.

I hate the way I played this hand. My big mistake was getting myself in too big of a hurry. Because I was two-tabling (and not concentrating enough), I failed to notice the possible straight as well as the flush draw.
