All Things Poker

Session 7 started off pretty well. I was still riding the “self kudos” from the last session and I was hopeful and even expecting to win. Within 2 hours I was up $150 and feeling good. However at this time I think I had lost some focus and I was operating on auto-pilot. Unfortunately this cost me several hands that took me back to my initial buy-in. After that I woke up, and puckered up. I stayed puckered most of the night. Not losing many hands but not winning many either. I stayed late in the evening trying to make up “my” lost $150 eventually scrounging up a win of $72 for the night.

This night, while not particularly awful financially speaking, was a horrible experience for me. It was a very dry poker night where I kept kicking myself for not leaving earlier, than staying later to at least have something more to show for it. This was a lesson in “You are always even”, and “Make better quiting decisions than your opponents”. Although I suspect I haven’t completely learned my lesson (I have a thick head I guess), if nothing else I can look at this night when trying to talk myself into staying later than I should.
