What would I have done in those 62 hands ? Nothing. Nothing except play each hand as best I can. You don't get a prize for folding 62 hands. Why were you counting ?


In more specific terms, what were the blinds during this stage of play ? Was every pot being raised ? If so by how much ? If the pots are being raised too frequently, and by too much, then you need to wait for a good opportunity. If they aren't, maybe you can find more spots where you can call and take a flop. But if you don't get any playable hands, then maybe not. What I'm getting at is that I wonder whether you missed some opportunities to play some hands, in part because you were pleased with your own sense of discipline. Do you see what I'm saying ?


Finally, anyone who does lose their discipline just because they haven't been dealt a big pair for two hours isn't a good NL player ! Period !
