OK...so I'm broke IRL. I have no job, no sort of income, and can't take a full-time job since I will be returning to school shortly. Most of the jobs I find are full-time jobs. I've applied to be a bartender (I have no experience) and also applied elsewhere (check the Commune and see exactly what I'm talking about).
That's a little preamble for what lead to this. I moved up to 50NL (I have the bankroll, no worries). I know I can beat it. I asked Micro for some help on three-betting and I've also watched him pwn the fish at 50NL. Watching with his commentary helped a lot. I've played a lot more this month because I feel a bit of pressure to make money from somewhere. When I had a job (I got the boot recently), I felt no pressure when I played and coolers/bad beats didn't bother me much. However, my whole month has went as follows: bad beat, cooler, KK < AA, tilt off money, rinse, repeat. I can't do anything about the first three parts, but SERIOUSLY with the tilt issues? I've played poker for a year and I'm STILL tilting? And better yet, I'm ALLOWING MYSELF TO SPEW OFF MONEY? This is unacceptable and disgusting. I must learn to deal with pressure. I've taken a two day break from poker. I hadn't really visited the IRC since I don't want to hear of it. I will start back on my poker journey tomorrow. But seriously, I have to learn to deal with poker a lot better.
I guess I'm just annoyed since the bad beats and the coolers have been happening a lot more often than ever. However, this is simply because I've played more poker this month than I've ever played so it feels they are happening more often. People run really bad for 15K hands...and probably a lot more. I must learn to deal with this and stop being a bitch. I will be back at the tables tomorrow.
