Sunday 6th

As sure as night follows day, you play like a twat one day then the next day you play well and get it shoved right up you!

Another four buy ins, losing day at 5/10 but unlike yesterday I can put the blame firmly at the feet of the poker gods. The fish got very fat of the back of me today. Problem is that days like today just magnify how fucking stupid and amateurish my play yesterday was. To be able to soften the sick days you can't afford having losing days because you play like a donk!

The truth is i'm not really concerned about today's loses. Sure, losing hurts and I hate it but I know the money lost today has been lent out at a high interest rate. The problem is that the money lost yesterday was borrowed at a much higher APR. Long term winning means playing the A game as often as possible and the higher up you go the more you need that A game. Mistakes get punished and they are much more expensive. In the long run its the play yesterday that will cost me - losing when you play good, getting it in with the best of it is long term winning poker. Yesterday's uncontrolled muppet aggressive get it in as far behind as you can and hope poker is long term....packing shelves at Tesco poker. And as was so nicely pointed out to me by a friend, it was also enough money to pay for a week in the Caribbean!

I do hate it when my non-poker playing friends start pointing out the true worth of the bad days.
