Small victories

I have trouble playing longer than an hour, too often let myself get frustrated, and tend to quit when I'm emotional. I just overcame all of that, and karma rewarded me with a nice come-from-behind win. My name is Earl.

After about 50 minutes I was down 30BBs, frustrated at a string of bad beats, and nearly convinced myself to quit. But I realized that the people I was playing against were total morons and figured I should stick around a bit longer. After another half hour I had recovered all of my losses and more.

I shouldn't be having these kinds of problems. Usually I don't, but Party 6max games have a mysterious power over me. Plus I'm riding a 150BB downswing at Absolute $5/10, so maybe I'm on edge more than normal. Or I just suck.

Also, I slept from midnight to 4pm last night. It was great.

eliminate party from your portfolio for the time being.

try to make it out to a live game, perhaps an AC trip with your girl, in its stead.

yeah i actually barely play party at all now that december's promotion is over. i'm like 90% absolute. i'm reluctant to go live to AC because i'd have to play higher stakes on the same bankroll getting in much fewer hands/hour. not good for variance, although the much softer games somewhat compensate.
