I'm planning to take a few days off right now, after a very bad week...
Played for about two months. Won at first, but now lost all of it in one week time... Play NL25 $0.25/0.50 and lost $100 in three days...
At least I still have my initial BR intact...


I have leared a lot these days. Both about myself and about my play.

Now I know my reactions when I get dealt lousy hands over and over...

You continue to play hoping for your "luck" to change. When you've folded 15-20 times in a row you're not as focused as you should be when you finally get that "playable" hand like ATo or KJo... It feels like they are monster hands at the time. You want the pot too much, so you play it too aggressive, and hold on to the cards even tough it's a clear favor for your opponant... You lose...
You lose, get frustrated and... Continue... Now with even less focus!
You fold 15 times more... THEN you get that monster hand that you've been waiting for, AKs maybe, you raise good, one opponant stays in the pot, and then the flop turns you down. You keep betting because you just want that pot more than ever, you can't let go, you're so out of focus, you lose...
And continue... With no change of luck... J2o, 57o, A5o, Q3o, K9o, fold, fold, fold, fold...
When you're on the blinds hoping to play, someone else raises... So you fold...
66, KJo, AT, 88... You play... Big raise from your opponant, you fold...
Or you limp, it gets checked and the flop turns you down... You lose...

Sometimes poker feels like shit... And it's hard to play poker without cards! But I'm not saying it's impossible, just takes endurance... This is what I've learned this week... Losses where inevitable but they could have been reduced with better endurance, maybe 50-60%...

It's almost as if the programmers of the poker-software meant this to happen, to make me more "addicted"... To make me say I HAVE TO PLAY AGAIN... MORE, MORE, MORE... I HAVE TO WIN IT ALL BACK!
Instead of taking a break... Come back... Continue to play tight, continue to fold, and continue with better knowledge on how I will react until this bad spell ends...

I WILL BE BACK!!!
I WILL WIN AGAIN!!!
