Guess what I just did? Logged onto Everest, loaded some tables, played break even poker for 10 mins then quit!! Yes I'm excited (or at least happy) about that. There were no good tables, the tables I was on I didnt have good position on anyone I wanted it on, so I just quit. Even though I really wanted to win $70 today to get even for the month.

I had one shitty session this week when I broke my new rules and played when the tables werent good, and stubbornly hung in against a bad LAG who had position on me and donated 3 buyins mainly to him. Other than that, the only significant losing session was the sweat session above, and I learnt a fair bit from that. My current process is to wake up early, hit the gym, shower, brecky then play poker in the AM. Good tables, lots of choice, money to be made. Not only am I finding I'm playing well and against the types of players I want to play against, but by getting 1-2 sessions done early, I no longer find myself tired at the end of the day thinking I should play just to get hands in. I'm (usually) able to say no and do something else instead. Getting regular exercise and an early start to the day doesnt hurt either .

Not too dissappointed. Theres over 5 buyins lost from two sessions and yet I only finished 1.5 buyins down for the week. I think my plays been good, I'm generally good at folding. My stats are slightly tight but its working for me so I dont care much. I got 2k hands in, which is about what I'd like. 500 hands for 4 days each. Today I probably wont play much (late night at work last night so woke late today) and its a long weekend here this weekend so I'm gone for the next 3 days.

Emotional issues not gone yet (definately felt tilted after the 3 buyin down session) but better than they were and I'll keep working on them. Positive week overall, just not perfect yet .
