Mistakes

Even though I wasn't going to play poker last night, I finished everything else that I had to do and decided to play 1/2 hour of poker. I played on Titan Poker, even though I do not seem to have much luck there. After a bit of time I was down a few dollars, but nothing major. After an hour I decided that I needed to stay a little longer to win back the $3.00 I was down. Just then, the table got down to heads up. I was going toe-to-toe with a guy and we seemed to be just passing chips, when another played showed up with $5.00. This guy then proceeded to dismantle me and the original player. I knew I was out classed. I also knew that I should just leave, but I didn't. I eventually lost my entire buy-in. I think this loss was caused by the following mistakes
1. Poor table selection - I couldn't win, and I knew it, as the competition was better than me. I should have left when I noticed that.
2. Playing when not at my best - it was late and I was tired. I should have been sleeping instead of playing poker
