how about a little discipline...

It just amazes me how at one minute I can be totally on top of my game, and then a few days later be totally under it. After my performance on Sunday where I was on fire playing poker, I took a turn in the wrong directions. On Tuesday, I donked off $15 playinge like a complete moron. By now any reader will know what I did. I played too many hands. A caller never wins!!!! I must remember that. So I then did what any good donkey would do, I played online blackjack. After losing 40 dollars, I just knew I could get it back. I did get back to a 5 dollar loss and was going to leave, but I just knew that next bet would get me back to even, so I posted it and lost it. I kept chasing until I was down my 40 again. How stupid of me. That game has a negative expectation, yet I continue to play it. Just dumb

I did manage a second-place finish in a sit-n-go. Unfortunately, it was my second of the evening after I wasted my first. In the first one, I played crap hands like crap. In the second one, I played well ( I did everything I should - play alert/good cards/position etc.)

This morning, I donked off another 6 bucks playing like a fish again. I need to tighten up.
