Recovery
Current mood: lazy
I'll let pokercharts.com speak for me:
Streak: $6222.69 W3 - I am on a 3 session winning streak for a total of $6222.69
My confidence is back. I daresay the last 3 sessions I've played some great poker. I'm using my instincts more and more.
Over the losing streak I started a few leaks. I was calling too many mariginal hands out of position, becoming too passive, not following my reads, and just not folding enough in general. Whew! That's a lot of holes to plug.
The break really helped me (and a little bit of luck of course.) It's easier to focus and play well now. I'm not as nervous about it. I just play my game and hope for the best.
Maybe I needed a little nose bleed from poker. I may have been getting to smug, too high on my own pedestal. I feel like my game has improved because of this downswing. Proof that positive things can come from an inabilty to win.
I have to do some serious packing tommorow and move into the new apartment on Saturday. I'm looking foward to it but it's gonna be hard to play poker until Sunday.
Now onto the final question. How reclusive will Kenny become when he gets his own place?
