Ok ok, so I have never made any bad beat posts, but I do like to make a good low content brag post from time to time.
Here goes.
I slaughtered the 4/8 game at hollywood park casino lastnight. I arrived at 4am or so. Four hours and fifty two BB later, I was getting tired, so I got up and left. I could have stayed and continued to beat the game, but I knew that my hourly rate was going to start dropping from fatigue, and I would eventually get so off schedule that it would be hard for me to get my botany studying done.
Also, a couple appallingly bad players went broke, and two players sat down who were markedly less terrible, although still bad.
So, I accomplished a few things:
1. Pressed my advantage while it was greatest, and left when my edge began to decrease.
2. Showed another instance in which I was able to balance my poker and my school work.
Anyway. I just thought I'd write about this b/c I've made some good progress is in bettering my playing habits. I been through some bad periods where I would play too much and neglected school. With the help of therapy, discipline, and posting on this forum, I've made HUGE progress, and, win or lose, I have been feeling great about my whole approach to poker and life.
Best,
Snowball
