April hasn't been great so far. On top of that, I'm running bad + busy with a ton of other things right now besides poker which doesn't help when it comes to trying to focus.

I find that when I run bad + not into it, I make alot of dumb plays. I don't really go on tilt, I don't really spew either. I just end up missing alot of value, or bluffing at bad times. In other words, playing bad + running bad = alot of money lost. It isn't lost too quickly, it just sort of drains away slow. Like for example, I'll just do the wrong thing at the wrong time - call when I should fold, fold when I should call, call when I should raise, raise when I should call, fucking around with bet sizing and blah blah blah.

My mind is in a huge mess right now so I'm going to take a bit of a break from playing and do some reading. Theory of poker it is, along with reading a few articles on the basics of things. I'm also going to get a shit load of studying done this week so I don't end up cramming so much before my finals. Basically I'm burrying my face in books for the next week or so, even though I'd like to get working on winning back some money sooner.

Looks like it's time to bring back the stick man avatar, sorry ALF.
