man, ive been playing poorly and having some inevitable tilt.. the start of december has not gone well.
my tooth is acheing and im starting to doubt myself pokerwise, but ive been here many times before and it’s silly to get worried about alittle variance, losing 6-7bi in 3 days is standard for a poker player and i suppose its only bothering me now because I am not working anymore. Nobody said it was going to be easy!
I guess all I can say is SUCK IT UP.. and I will, but first..
I think I need to work on my TURN PLAY more, as ive been spewing when blatant cards come which complete draws and just insta stacking, though im sure that its pretty standard.. watching foucaults turn series tonight me thinks
