Default Grinding is boring, tilting isn\'t

Most boring 3000 hands ever. NL100 sucks, especially on stars but I need a few more FPPs before I can get a [censored] TV then i'm moving to party/ftp where the games arent full of 22/18s.



I have no idea if I play terribly but i'm not particularly bothered right now (guess i'm just a typical nl100 player, although I don't normally 3 bet there). I can't make any sense of his river raise tho:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $20 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB ($997)
UTG ($1970)
Button ($2124)
Hero ($2259)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $80</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $250</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $170.

Flop: ($520) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $320</font>, Button calls $320.

Turn: ($1160) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Button checks.

River: ($1160) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $730</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $1554</font>, Hero calls $824.

Final Pot: $4268

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Button has 9c 9h (one pair, nines).
Hero has Ah 5c (two pair, aces and fives).
Outcome: Hero wins $4268. </font>

FWIW it was a third of my bankroll on the line and I fully intended to go to bed if it [censored] up.
