Worst play yet at home game!!
Local home game 10$ buy in usually 6 max quick tourney style games at least 2 nights a week..Last night was my worst outing ever! HIstory check on my game against my friends.. in about a total of 50 games played i have won at least 30 times and 2nd about 5-10 times! I am definately feared at the table by everyone accept one or 2 players who greatly respect my game but dont fear me. I generally dont like to blame losing on the cards and not catching hands.. I would never blame a loss on the cards ever.. but it didn't help to catch almost nothing while others were catching monsters. I found myself on tilt on one hand where someone preflop raised and i was furious.. lol and post flop bet into someone huge overbet and luckily he folded.. I found myself after the hand saying OUTLOUD.. "i cant believe i just did that" the most reckless play i have ever done and everyone knew it. they knew me to be aggressive and known that i can win with one chip in front of me.. but last night just wasn't the same. felt it as soon as i sat down.. for some reason i felt insecure about my game. Scared of losing and finding hands in front of me that i would never play/call just cause i felt i needed to win a hand to give myself a boost back into my game! Any suggestions of what to do before my next game to get my mind straight and go in there with the same mentality i have had ove the past couple of weeks.. I was always the one getting a game together.. Now after my early out in last nights performance i sense great confideence in a couple other players who want more action right away.. Looking for help so i dont go and lose my edge at the table.. thanks in advance

i think in a way this may help my image to my friends as im not as good as they think i am and that way i am underestimated now and may get more action.. But i do want my respect that i have earned and keep that edge over the other players
