mood doesn't improve

Played two tourneys online after my supreme meh-ness in my live tourney - won a total of 2 hands for 370 chips in both tourneys. Watched the fishes swim around me over and over - couldn't do anything about it.

Watched one fishy (sharkscope around -27%) a
call a raise and then a shove - he had a 69 suited club draw and was up against two pair, Aces and Kings. Club came on the turn.

Same fishy limped and then called an all in with 9To - he was up against pocket jacks and hit quad nines.

Same fishy limped in on me - I shoved 8 BB into the middle with two eights. He called with Jack Ten suited and flopped a flush - on the first three cards. Just to add insult to injury - a jack came on the turn (in case the flush wasn't enough).

A -27% ROI player makes way (waaay) too many bad calls, and, over time, these bad calls cost him lots of money. In the short run, though, the poker gods sometime giggle and laugh and lets him have some fun, leaving piles of tilted, decent players in his wake (who usually had their money in good).

On another virtual table, I watched Tony play a .25/.50 cash game and go from $20 to $50 (Aces vs. Queens) and then back down to zero, all in an hour. He left without saying goodbye, so there's probably some broken electronics in his office right now tonight too. (he ended his live tourney about 5 minutes after I did).
