It seems that I want to get all my losses back at once on every buy-in. I am playing like I am desperate. I'm also falling back into the old trap from very early on where I just play until I'm broke, as if I'm in a tournament. I've lost about $65 in 7 1/2 weeks. I need to just get away from a table as soon as I've made a little money and slowly build up a cushion, and to develop the instinct of leaving the table with a profit to grow my bankroll. Take the longer view. Duh. Oh yea, and for the 1,000,000th time, step away from the table by about 10:30 pm.Saturday, December 27, 2008

A Tourney For Bloggers?
Wow - this might be a boost to my effort....Just found out PokerStars has a tournament just for bloggers. The World Blogger Championship of Online Poker looks like an exciting way to freeroll into some very nice prizes. I am in the process now of getting authorized for entry as a blogger -wish me luck!
My play lately has been very erratic. I am taking way too many chances trying to get lucky and double up. Specifically, I have been playing way too much in early position. I think I'm calling more and playing more hands out of boredom. In fact, when I infrequently enter a $1 tournament, I find myself not being nearly as disciplined as I used to be. It has also been about six months since I read a book about poker, so I don't think I'm playing very sharply at all. To compound the problem, I tend to play at night when I'm most tired. Bad idea. My balance now stands at $45.08. I realize this is a 50% gain on my total investment, but given the fact that I was up to $90 a few months ago, it feels more like a 50% loss.
Anyway, I hope I manage to get into the World Blogger Championship of Online Poker!
