frustrating first session

i ended up playing 3300 hands of 1/2 and cannot believe i didnt come out ahead more. i ened up being ahead $212. i felt a little rusty at first but shortly into it i started playing good. i think throughout the entire session i have regrets in 3 hands. unfortunatly i dont have my poker tracker up and running yet so i could post them. i ran pretty good halfway through and then all went to shit and i played bad for about a 500 hand span that cost me a few buy ins. i probably should have won atleast 5 buyins if i played a little bit better in certain spots. i was running bad in flips against shorter stacks which adds up in the end but did lost a $1161 pot which is sickely huge at this level on a 4 outer where i had 17 outs to draw him completely dead, what a fucken joke.

the original buy in at this table is $200, i had built my stack up by crushing rontti1 in a few hands that he played poorly. after i realized how bad he was i searched him and he was playing 3 tables which for the most part would mean hes probably not too bad, fortunalely he continued to play horrible. so rontti1 and are deep coming into this hand, which we both have 3 buyins at the table. i am trying to play as many pots against this guy as possible and trying to isolate him heads up as much as possible. when i make a continuation bet on this hand i am hoping he comes along to see atleast a turn and if he raises ill probably just call. but when i open and oprah winfrey raises me and he cold calls there is too much money in there to just call so i decided to repop it. to my surprise oprah winfrey folds and my donkey shoves. when we get all in on flop i am a 83% favorite to win the hand and he ends up sucking out. if i win just this hand i would have profited $1400 today which would have been a nice start. hopefully by tomorrow ill have my holdem manager working. $200 down, 89,800 to go. seems so far away.
