ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Since I haven't played a lot since the end of June, this current downswing feels a hell of a lot longer than it's actually been. For example, playing 200 hours over 6 months will not feel anywhere close to the same if it was only 2 months. Of course, losing is part of why I'm playing so little of late anyway. It's dejecting, and who the hell wants to play poker when you're just down on how things have been running? I've always been the type who plays a lot when he's winning. There's water in the well, so I keep going back. But when the well dries up, it tends to take me longer to get through it all because I start playing less. Which obviously means there are more days where you wake up and remember that poker isn't so much fun at present. So it's a bit of a double edged sword. But I prefer to take my time when poker is being unkind. Trying to rush yourself out of a losing spell leaves you highly susceptible to compounding how poorly things are already going, and that type of risk just isn't worth it to me. Here are the hand history highlights from the previous week...
