Well for the hopefuls like myself, positive energy thoughts do not always work. The other day as tournament went on break entering the FT of the 100r I went outside, took a deep breath, and was never as confident and positive I was going to win as this. First hand KK < AJ for 2nd place stack. FML. But that is fine. I am still remaining positive. But channeling positive energy wont change the cards.

I am noticing more and more some of the 5/10 and 10/20 regs dropping limits and increasing tables. When I play 5/10 and 10/20 I only like to 4-6 table. But anything below that I can 20 table. Looking at my graphs on PT, I dont know why I am even attempting the 5/10 10/20 games. Wait, yes I do. I'M A DEGENERATE. I make more profits at 1/2 per table than I do at any other limit. Not even considering BB size, straight up make more money. But being a 1/2 player is embarassing. My best friend plays 200/400. But I need to put my ego aside. This is a business. I make 7 BB/ hr at 1/2. And I can 20 table. That is a stellar wage. There is no reason for me to move up limits. If I can actually convince myself this, I can stop having 30k losing days.

No matter how bad I run at 10/20+ it doesnt matter. I suck at higher limits. Who cares? I just can't take the stresses of losing 4 pretty little yellow chips or God forbid a light blue one. It is a gut wrenching feeling for me. I am not in this to suck off other people or to get sucked off myself. I am in it for one reason: MONEY. This job pays better than any job I can get. I can make $200 or so an hour, never gamble and never stress. WHY DO I HAVE TO TAKE SHOTS AND KILL MY BR EVERY SINGLE FKN TIME I HAVE SOME CASH? Let's hope I can come to the realization that I am a 1/2 reg and the only shots I take come with a lime and salt.

FK poker.

If he showed me a bigger full house, I would still go all in.
