Shoot the glass!!

Quitting
Was hoping to put in a big session tonight but ended up quitting after just 270 hands. I made a poor river call in a soft 5/10 game and light calldowns against a reg in a 2/4 game, noticed I was playing poorly and quit right away. I'm pretty good at quitting when I feel like I'm not playing my A game. I've came down with some shitty cold or something at the moment which isn't helping!

FPS
I seem to be making a bunch of bad adjustments to some of the good regs games. The worst is convincing myself that they're double and triple barrelling in spots where it's really not that likely. I'm trying too hard to make big hero calls when it's really not necessary, I'm forcing things. It's something I'm working on fixing though.

Done with 5/10 for now
I still don't know exactly how much I'm up/down for the month so far but I feel like I'm getting crushed. Running really badly, especially at 5/10 despite feeling very profitable in the games I'm putting myself in. I'm going to quit taking 5/10 shots for the month as I think it's probably getting a bit tight bankroll wise.

Stopping results affecting your mood
I often feel really tempted to look at results at the end of each session, particularly if it was a big win or loss. But I've trained myself now just to step away from the laptop and chill out for a bit, then go back and look over the hands instead. After I've spent 30mins looking over the hands I've got a much better feeling of whether I've played badly or not, and I can improve in the spots where I've made mistakes. I think this is SUCH a great improvement over quitting a session up/down a bunch of buyins and letting that affect my mood. Basing your mood on short term luck is dumb. It irritates me to see people blog on it, it's just re-enforcing results-orientation. If I ever do the same thing I fully expect you guys to flame me :)

If I look over my hands and I've played well, I'm happy regardless of the result. If I look over my hands and I've played badly then I work on whatever mistakes I've made so that I'll be less likely to make them in future. So even at worst if I play very badly in a session, which really doesn't happen too often, I leave the session review feeling significantly happier due to the steps I've taken towards improving myself.

Die Hard
Rewatched this tonight. Last time I'd seen it was when I was finishing high school like 7 years ago, we used to watch it all the time. It's still SO DAMN GOOD, if not even better than I remember. The 120" screen size probably helps with that :) Alan Rickman. SO good.
