Yesterday, I'm finally able to play poker on a Sunday, so I decide to enter some of the online tournaments. Four entries, no cashes. And my tournament successes continue. In one of them, I have a 20bb stack (decent stack) with like 270 players left and 160 players cash. The button shoves all-in for like 20bbs, I stare down at T9s in the big blind, move the mouse to click "fold," and inexplicably, I click the "CALL" button!!! Aaagh!!! He has like K8o, so that's about the best I can expect, but of course, I lose the flip. That's just how my month has been going.
I don't think I was tilting after that misclick, but if I wasn't tilting, I mysteriously lost 2.5 buy-ins in the cash games in the next 15 minutes. Is that the Twilight Zone theme music I hear? I played for a little longer, but I realized my head was not in the right mindset to play good poker, so I took a break and spent some time with Mrs. Fly. Sometimes, taking a little break from time to time is not the worst thing.
We finally saw Twilight: New Moon. I just don't get the appeal of Robert Pattinson in that movie. I'm not saying he's a bad looking guy, but he just looks so dopey in that movie. For the female readers, I chose a photo where he's not looking pasty and constipated. Teenage girls have such weird taste in men. I remember when I was younger, Michael Jackson and Ralph Macchio (the Karate Kid) were considered teen heart throbs. Michael friggin' Jackson - considered a hottie!!!
After the movie, I went back to play and made some more money. I definitely feel like I'm playing better. Well, to be honest, since I'm playing 2/3 of my hands at 1/2 Rush, it's probably a combination of me playing better and my opponents being worse. But nothing like getting a little confidence back I can actually feel myself consistently making money. That's not to say I don't have runs where I lose a bunch of big hands, but overall, I feel like my stacks are growing all the time. Still have more work to do tho.
