Grinding Away

Had a tough day yesterday...was playing 50plo and nothing at all was going my way. Got my money in as favourite 5 separate times and lost every single time. It was brutal. I was so frustrated that I had to just shut it down for the day. Knowing when you've reached your limit and won't play well and walking away is extremely important. Granted I got my money in good 5 times and lost em all, but if I'd stayed playing in the state of mind I was in, I know for sure I would have started chasing hands, and no doubt gotten money in bad.

Turned it around today though. Dropped back and played $25plo again. Had some decent results, up around 2 buyins in 700 hands. I can't complain at all, I know I've been playing good poker lately. The results will follow, I truly believe that.

I'm forcing myself to stay away from tournaments right now. As much as it's tempting to play them, looking for the big payout (which would help me more than I can say right now...) I just don't have the bankroll to allow it. I'm being disciplined though, and that's a good thing.

As an aside to my normal game on FullTilt, I've also been playing a bit on Party Poker the last few days. They sent me a $125 bonus, and I've managed to scrape that in to a bit of money. I'm up $300 there, been playing $100 and $200 plo, just shortstacking and I've run decently. Now I have a bit of a dilemma, in that I have to figure out how to get that money off of there...lol. Stay tuned.
