I've had a pretty successful year up till now in poker so it was about time I had some sort of downswing. I started this month pretty poorly, then grinded a load of hands and made a decent chuck back, before an awful last few days brought me back down again. Today was my worst day of the year (though I have had bigger losing days in the past).
Today was just one of those horrendous days where nothing goes your way. I probably should have quit slightly earlier than I did as tilt was becoming a factor and I was playing in a few tough 5/10 Stars games where I need to play very close to my A-game to have any sort of edge in them. It just felt like I was getting owned by my opponents in every single way. If I bluffed, they called. If I had a marginal hand, they barrelled every street. If I had the nuts they either had air and gave up, or somehow found a check with a hand they're supposed to bet with. I ran bad today, but the honest truth is that I probably was getting owned as well. Anyway, I'll probably end up taking a break depending on how I feel about poker tomorrow.
To cheer myself I brought a £250 Amazon voucher with Stars FPPs and going to buy a load of pointless stuff with that. Any DVD/CD/Book/Video Game recommendations would be much appreciated.
