Suddenly im proud of myself.

edited June 2010 in Poker Chat
I know i banned myself from the tables. But after my new xbox game arrived i listened to a few thing Chris Ferguson said before a heads up match against Tilly which i won, i decided, thats helped the confidence lets go sit on a NL4 table. I sat down 100% bankroll of £3.47 not exactly my smartest ever move but i wanted to be safe not to be to short stacked on the table.

First hand i flop a straight with the checked 96. Was up a pound already, went up a few more, but what im most proud of is when it started to go back down, even though i gained the £2 in 20 minutes, i quit straight away, something i have never been good at.

So for all i only played 20 mins ive increased my bankroll from £3.47 to £5.82, not a massive profit, but i now have that little extra faith in cash tables.

    I have to go and see my careers advisor at 4PM and i have the live tournament im tournament director for starting at 8 so need to be there for 7. So wont be on till after that. I may have a little game tonight, although will still be on the NL4 tables, in the process of re-building a BR from scratch.

    My emotions maybe are used to much, but its not so much at my emotions with the game, a little more of what i feel ive achieved. When i was ashamed, id acted completely wrong and i was disappointed in the wayi acted. What im most proud of here is i decided when to quit and quit while i was ahead something ive struggled to do.
     
    The thing i was most proud of is i found the weakest player on the table, he called nearly everything with nothing, and i seemed to be able to isolate him out in a pot to myself almost everytime i had the hand, except for the split pot i hd with him i managed to get another player in and that way i still managed a profit for the hand.
