Complaining works?

I guess complaining works if we are being results oriented (nice $800 in 5 hours). I complain a lot in my blog mostly as a release of the stressful aspects of poker. However, I think I have been doing it a little too much lately, as I am even getting on my own nerves. The best hand was holding today and I recovered $157 of missing allin EV.

I attribute part of the win to the fact that my 4 losses with AA and KK were all very small pots (4, 11, 8, 6 BB). The 3 biggest pots I won were, AAvKK AIPF, AAvKQ AIPF, and trips vs a flush draw AI on the flop (91, 70, 90 BB). All of the largest pots I lost were blind v blind.

Here is me getting owned TTvKK, for $50.

Here is an interesting hand, where I lose $30. http://www.cardschat.com/hand/6875 It is against Max Raises, who is playing 23/18, minraising every SBvBB, and almost always going for a blind steal OTB. He was sitting to my right on a couple of tables, so we had a lot of battles, and although I don't 3-bet much I started 3-betting him about 50% to try and make him stop. Anyhow, I flop TPTK and the NFD, and I was trapping him on the flop, was questioning if I was good on the turn, then I end up folding the river, because I was probably either already beat or got rivered. There is about a 20% chance he was just 3-barrelling spazzing out because I was pissing him off, but the worst possible river card for me came, so I folded to the shove.
