Well the start to the Poker year has gone sour. I mustered up the effort to play the £10/r at Circus and I was in the mood to play, got a decent table, I'm in position against Lester and the rest of the table is pretty soft. Sadly I'm folding all the wrong hands and playing all the wrong hands, i got through 2 rebuys fairly quickly and pretty much give up right there, I ended up limping in for 100 with 900 chips left with Ah7h, Lester is in and so is the button. Flop is As, 2h, 3h. Looks like a perfect flop. Lester checks and I check hoping that the button will lead and he does for 300, I shove for the last of my chips and he has A3 for 2 pair and I never improve. I decided to cut the fun short there and go home.
I think the problem with that particular comp is that I find it so difficult to stay out of pots as generally people are playing so much thrash I want to mix it up and get in there with them, sadly the chips and the price doesn't equate, I think I'll be missing this one for a little while. I go home somber anyhow and jump OK to Stars, play some small stakes NLHE and win buy-ins for the Nightly $20k (my favourite online MTT) and a tiny $2 Omaha 8o tournament. I bust out of both very quickly, the $20k in the very first hand with an OP v OP scenario that if I was thinking straight I could have got away from, I was oblivious to my TILT.
This is probably a good thing in a way that this happens now and not in a much bigger event later, I've not felt the sting of Stealth-Tilt for a long time, I'd like to think that Tilt barely features or affects my Poker game, tonight it did and I've learned a cheap lession really. I'm very much in the mood to play as much as possible at the moment so want to ride this wave of enthusiasm as when I'm in the mood to play I tend to play my best. I've got a Birthday Party to attend to tomorrow but will see if I can find a nice online game for the evening.
Ciao Ciao
