Operation: 'A' game

Heading to Chicago today for a work conference. Won't be back till late thursday, and had a work xmas party last night. So I guess no grinding for a full week pretty much.

Gonna come back and smoke December, I feel like its time to play properly for once!

Been away for a week or so and played my first session back today. If this operation was supposed to motivate my A - game, I will have to say its not working so far!

Played really tilted today. Ran bad, and then went on solid tilt after I got bluff caught pretty hard.

I think this is solidly time for a new site switching, and a change of scenery. So I'll probably switch it up for this month and see how that goes.

This is the hand that induced my tilt. Though about raising flop but figured most of my range would call, so decided to float.

Hopefully in the next few days I'll start up on a new site and the change brings back the A-game!

If anyone has thoughts on avoiding tilt, I'd like to hear it!
