New month and back on the grind
After a two and a half days off, I was pretty rusty. It took me about 100 games to figure out what I was doing wrong. I was playing too tight in the middle stages of the tourney. Throughout the day I was just miserable as I played.  I wasn't confident. I was dwelling on my bad beats (which were plentiful). I was going to quit after a disastrous 8th set, but I decided to look it over in Wiz. I found a bunch of spots where I should have been pushing. Instead I was basically letting my stack bleed till I had to make a horrible desperation shove. It's better to make a stand before the real negative EV desperation pushes are the only way out.Â
I'm not going to look at my results tonight because I think they will be fairly depressing. I did super awesome on my last set, but I think I'll pass on the results for tonight. Maybe I'll combine them with tomorrow. I'm back on the right track and I'll hit it hard in the morning. I made an awesome desktop wallpaper with four spots that I always get wrong. I just took four shots of the situations on Wiz and pasted them in a .bmp image and made it my desktop. I'm always looking at them and it helps me so much. Maybe I'll make a wallpaper with new spots in the future.
Getting started on poker early and playing almost straight through is definitely the way to go. I was done at like 7:00 tonight (could have been done earlier if I didn't take a break to go through my last set on Wiz) It was a beautiful night. I worked in my garden for a bit. I picked some peppers. I ate one and it was super good. I love my garden.
RIGGED!!!!
