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.
