Unstopular.com » Started a bit rocky

Well I started playing today at around 5:15 and got 3 hours of playing in. I started off playing a bit too loose as my % of flops seen was 50%+. I guess that's what happens when I haven't played for almost a week, I want to see some flops. That's always a bad idea because I end up paying for draws that just don't make it.

Anyways, once I realized my error I tighted it up some because I was down around $20 or so. My % of flops seen ended up around 47% only because some of the tables I was playing at started to break up and I was playing short handed.

Session Results: UP $19.95
Current Winnings: $254.57

For the time being it appears I have found and fixed one of the major flaws in my game. Now let's see if I can keep from resorting back to it by getting tilted.

After every session I will include a hand history from something that was interesting to me during my play. Today, I will show how bad some people really are and how easy it can be to take their money.

Well you know it’s a sad thing when you girlfriend asks you to come to bed to talk to her and you can’t pull yourself away from you stupid poker to do that. I would have to say real life is way more important than your imaginary one you have been living for years. Thanks alot.
