16 April 2008 - Update 2

Today went poorly, maybe it was the "please 3bet me" sign I had on my forehead. I dunno. I have run so brutally badly lately that I have had a lot of thoughts of quitting. I'm not a quitter, but really, everyone has their breaking point. I can only be a set magnet so long.

My last hand of the day: AK and a solid tight player calls my 3b. Flop is A33r. Just about perfect. I am ahead of everything conceivable except pocket aces, which I discount since he only called my 3bet. Well the money goes in and I am wrong again, as my opponent had called my 3bet with 35suited. He flopped gin. A yahtzee flop for him. After a hand like that I am thinking yahtzee and gin are not such a bad idea.

I don't want to complain. But every day after playing I feel so sad and really hopeless depressed all over again. But I am going to take a break, like I always do, and later on tonight I am going to go over my session like I usually do and search for leaks and take notes like I usually do, then I am going to watch a video or two like I often do, then tomorrow I am going to sit down and give it another try, like I always do.

And I am going to try not to lose, like I usually do.
