Quick Bio

After many years of going to school and saying no to drugs I graduated with a degree!  Little did I know it would lead me to being beaten into the ground at the hands of a soulless corporation.  After 3 years I quit to play poker professionally.  I've now been full-time over 7 years, yet revenge is still in the air.  It's crazy to look back and realize I started this blog as I was simply 'pumping myself up' to quit the real world and go full time.  Now I also do some writing for fun as a 'day job' (some freelance and paid, but an insignificant sum compared to 5/10 live) and airbnb my place when I don't feel like playing as much.

Grueling Sunday Session (11/26/2012)

I ended up playing a 12 hour session on Sunday.  My efforts yielded a net profit of +$120.  I stayed the majority of the session because I felt like it (as opposed to forcing myself), which is promising.  At 7a.m I decided it just wasn't my night.

I was happy with my play for the most part.  There was a big hand where I got outplayed by a aggro-fish who made a bizarre all-in bluff at about 200BBs deep against my double barrel 3-way.  I have to give him credit, it was a nice play, I couldn't call.  That was my chance to double through and book a decent win.  I don't feel like typing out the hand, it's justified in my head and irrelevant at this point, best to let it go.  Just one reoccuring problem after another for the past two months.

Normally I wouldn't stay past 8 hours without some sort of great image and decent profit, but I felt the need to make an exception because the game was really good.  I paid the price today, the session left  me unproductive on Monday.  I'm not really happy with myself for staying past 5a.m.  One of the reasons I dropped to mid-stakes was so I don't have to endure this sort of abuse.  On a live mid-stakes game it's almost never worth it to seriously screw up your schedule.  I know this, I've made the mistake more times than I can count during my poker career.  But apparantly I like to just completely ignore what I've learned. 

THAT'S RIGHT, repeating the same foolish course of action expecting different results!  WHAT NOW?
