Well today has been a total let down. Today was like getting to third base with your girlfriend, you're all happy and she just wants to cuddle.

Pwned the tables all day long getting up to around $300 and then spewed all but $70 over the last 20 games. It was pretty spectacular. In general it's been a pretty sick variance month.




The human brain loves to pigeon-hole things. We tend to separate and put days into a pigeon-hole, "Oh, that was an awful day, tomorrrow will be better?" But will it, or is it just variance? Are we really playing any differently if we aren't tilting today? The point I'm trying to make is trying to break out of the mold viewing a single day without looking at the broader context. You have to view playing poker as more of a continuum than that or the tables will eat you alive. You'll feel terrible and hate the world in general. That isn't a good place for your mind to be in.

Anyway, I have made decent progress in terms of volume today, the most important thing! I am determined to break 2k games this month, even though it's only 28 days this month. My Birthday is on Thursday, but I guess I'll be grinding away. I'm having a Birthday party with my mates and making potjiekos (read "pot food" kind of stewed for hours in a witches cauldron over a fire). It's an SA tradition! So I guess no poker on Saturday then.
