Never Immune To Tilt

Sometimes in poker you do things just right and everything goes wrong. Conversely, sometimes you do things all wrong and everything turns out just right. I just played two $10 buy in heads up tourneys with my friend Mike. Mike is a great player and I didn't suggest we do this because I wanted to make $20. I wanted to play because I knew it was going to be a challenge to beat him. I was right and he won both tourneys in about 20 minutes. Now $20 is not a lot of money, but just losing pissed me off so I decided I was going to recoup my losses by playing a little $100 NL at Party. I had 20 minutes to do it, since a bunch of friends (including Mike) were going to the local bar at 9:45 and there was no way I was gonna miss out on that. Now this is never the right mindset to enter a poker game, but sometimes you just get lucky. Here is the second hand of my 6 hand session. I basically played it like a maniac, but the funny thing is that I probably would have made a lot less $ had I played it more reasonably.
