Lost earlier today in AC too so down 650+475 for the day. I guess I can't really say i'm playing great poker either, so that in addition to hands not holding up becomes a dangerous combination. Mentally i'm getting more used to the swings but taking an unexpected $1100 hit in 24 hours does hurt. I guess that's just the nature of the game but I can't help but think that I could be doing more to prevent these things from occuring. There are a lot of factors that go into a downswing that go beyond the game and into the psyche of the person. Just like athletes need to compete at their hardest every time they go play, the same applies here. Today I felt as though the 2nd session coudl've been prevented but something was a little off. I was definitely steaming at the table and should've handled myself better; either by quitting the game or taking a break.
Maybe a few days off to clear my head from poker is necessary, we'll see what happens i guess.
