Played a 150 hand ring session and won just under $5. Decided to play the $1 MTT and got knocked out on a bluff. I am so pissed and I need to control my emotions when I play. I am pissed cos villain made a bad but correct call. I'm not an experienced bluffer (pretty much a NIT). I've been trying to dial up my aggression so I can actually win one of these MTTs. I'm tired of just cashing for the essential double-up after 2+ hours of play.

Villain has had success with his push and catch style of play. He has raised from various positions with broadways, including from BB with KJs.

What got me so mad was how long and hard this guy thought about calling me with his AK. When the time clock started I knew I ran a successful semi. Does my bluff scream "draw"? I dunno. All I know is I'm pissed, and I shouldn't be as I'm up for the day (so far). Should be able to shake it off. It is never easy.

Gonna hit the cash games again a little later. See if I can squeeze out another double-up. Still grinding.
