Poor play - the rest is just waffle
Just putting it out there – I played a bad session just now – forced weak hands into way ahead/way behind spots; missed value; the whole nine yards of fishy play. I cut it short after 40 minutes, and I wont play again today, and maybe not tomorrow. If I get an urge to “do some poker†I’ll make it a study day.
I just had to write it down.
If you’re taking the time to read this I thank you. I enjoy reading blog posts, getting a little insight into the ambitions hopes and frustration of my peers. I approach my own posts with a view to putting a bit of my “ego†(I use that word in the psycological sense) out into the world. It’s a semi-private thing made public.
I always try to make sure I post something well written, meaningful and well thought out.
But right here right now I think “I just played badly†is all there is to be said.

its a very good thing to know when you are playing bad and an even better thing to realize quitting is best. Dont look at this day is just a day where you "played bad", but one where you also quit well... As long as you learn from something you did poorly today it isnt for waste...
keep on keepin on

Totally agree. You did everything right if you know how to quit after only a 40 minute session. There will be a point, (if it hasn't already happened yet), where studying will actually be more fun than playing. Then you have to convince yourself to actually play poker instead of the other way around ;). Just keep posting!
