Here’s a tip, always play your A game, you can’t afford to let your guard down and spew a few buy-in’s. Here’s why, a bad run is never too far away, and we really do need those buy-in’s to cushion us through the rough times that will inevitably greet us.
I’m wrestling with this now, I played abysmally last night, and made a nasty pay off this morning for a 4.5 buy-in drop in my bankroll, and now I’m hit by a torrent of negative sickness, that could wipe out all of my profit for the last two weeks.
It has been more then a little unpleasant this morning, JJ calling a PSB on the flop to beat my flopped set on the turn, and medium pairs calling my 4-bets to beat my Kings when they flop a set, etc. Everyone gets their fair share of crap though, the important thing to note is that by not spewing the night before, I’ll be able to ride the storm much more comfortably.

Well after a 5 hour straight session I’ve managed to blow a huge chunk of my recent hard work. I’ve played appalling in this last session, the biggest mistake was simply not quiting before I got too tired, and too frustrated. I’ve gotten really close to a target I’ve set myself today, and I’ve been forcing myself to cross it, I should have just continued the way I was doing, which was going well, but I couldn’t resist shooting for it, and its cost me a bunch of buy-in’s.
My results show the evidence all too clearly, yesterday I did well, left ahead every time I sat down, this morning I did great, then this evening I just threw it all away, calling off light and playing like an undisciplined drunk, a 4-buy-in drop is not how I envisaged my day ending, but thats what you get for forcing things.
I may take a day off today and start afresh on Sunday, but I can never tell, sometimes I just get the urge to play.
May your discipline remain with you xxx
