Discipline

So... I've noticed a pretty regular pattern in my play. I start off in the afternoon playing well and winning. Then I carry on too long and stop concentrating as much, getting tired and generally not focusing, then I lose, then I tilt, then I lose more, then I act like a prick in the chat box. So apologies to all you donks out there I said "ffs" too or called you a fish, but I am trying to stop, I don't want to offend you, you're not an idiot/retard/spaztastic gashface, you played fine, now lets play again with my new found manners and good humour!! :D

Don't know how long that will last but I am being disciplined today and stopping while I've won a bit. (Also I am going to see The Prodigy at Brixton academy tomorrow so want to get an early night before work tomorrow - it's gonna be a looooong day!!)

As for details of todays games:

I played 2 Omaha Hi/Lo €2+0.20 5 seaters and a €3+0.30 NLHE 5 seater and in all three of them I got to heads up and the other person went on some sort of maniac rush raising or going all in every hand as if they are just happy to be in the money and so I ended up just having to make a stand and hope my hand held up - which it didn't, so three 2nd places there.

Then I thought "Why am I playing these low stakes when I am rolled for higher games?" I'm not sure of the answer to be honest, so I played two 5 seater NLHE games, a €5+0.50 and a €10+1. They went really well and I felt I was playing my best game, I've started reading about poker a lot again lately and feel it's really helped me so I was feeling really 'in the zone'. I got to heads up in the €10 with a slight chip lead and in the €5 I had relentlessly stolen pots to become a massive chip leader while the other 2 remaining players were on around 1000 chips each.... then the software crashed. ARGH!!! How am I supposed to not tilt under these conditions?! When I managed to re-connect I had lost over 1000 chips in the €10 and about 500 in the other, in which I immediately doubled one of the other players up with a tilt-ish all in shove (though they called with Q-J against my A-8). Managed to repel the tilty urges though and scraped back some chips in the €10 until I tried being tricky against my aggressive opponent:

I was hoping he had the Q or maybe a gutshot....never mind. Another 2nd place though haha!

Amazingly I didn't tilt and managed to win the other one so made a profit on todays session. Will probably have a couple of days off now and hopefully return fresh on Monday. GG.
