Yesterday, I achieved a rare trifecta in poker that a winning regular seldom gets to accomplish...   I lost money in the cash games, in single table tournaments and multitable tournaments.  Most poker players are not "adept" enough to play all three categories of games in the same session.  And then it dawns on me...  I'm a fish!

This is what a fish does...  he starts off opening up some MTTs to "try his luck," and maybe fires up a few cash tables at the same time.  After getting bounced out early from the MTTs, he then fires up some STTs, saying MTTs are rigged.  But basically, he's a fish who sucks at poker, so he just keeps losing money!

Ahh...  honesty is so refreshing.  Now that I have a clear view of the situation, I think I'm going to do what I should have done a month ago, and play some 1/2 6max until I develop a better feel for the game.  I'll keep adding in some softer 2/4+ tables.  As for full ring, I think part of the problem is that a few regulars seems to have added more aggression pre and post flop to their games and it's going to take a little while for me to get used to their new style of play.  Because when a guy who has a 3bet of 3.0 just 3bets you for the third time, you know something is off.  Enjoy it while it lasts, guys.  There is an influx of new regulars from PokerStars that I think I'll have to get used to.  Stars recently changed the buy-ins to their tables, and apparently, a lot of full stacked regulars are not happy with the change.

I think my SNG experiment is going into the scrap heap.  I had forgotten how excruciating playing in any tournament can be.  There were literally a few times when I wanted to poke out my eyeball.  When things aren't going well, it makes no sense to add to the aggravation.

A little hiccup in my path to poker glory to be sure, but I'll be back!

(Probably another thing a fish keeps telling himself)
