Eesh

Played for an hour today and lost 2.5 BIs. This run is getting ugly. I just can't buy a bucket to save my life. I reviewed hands today and there just isn't anything I can do about these beats. I get coolered and sucked out on. I am going to keep getting in QQ preflop as I should and I am going to raise sets when I should and if they get beat, they get beat. I have to focus on playing good and solid poker and just trying to improve my play and eventually it will turn around. It'd be nice if it would occur soon so I can make some money and pay off some credit card debt before my second child comes at the end of July, but it isn't in my control, I just have to keep on keepin' on.


Also, Jim Joyce, the first base umpire during tonight's Tigers game, needs to lose his job. He blew the most obvious call tonight. The Tigers still won, but the blown call was for the last out of a perfect game. I feel awful for Armando Galarraga, since he won't go into the books as the 19th perfect game in mlb history, but he was very polite after the game and he never complained to the umpire about the call. He stood in disbelief, but didn't say anything to him until after the game when Joyce approached him in te locker room to apologize for blowing his perfect game. All Armando did was tell the umpire that no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Maybe we can all learn something from him.


It wasn't really a close call, see the picture below.


You can read about it and see the replay on either espn.com or mlb.com if you like. Feel so badly for the kid.

I'm one of the biggest tilter's out there. I would recommend that you don't look at your daily results. It makes me miserable just thinking about the swings but if I don't know it. Bingo, less frustration and I'm not focusing on results anymore. Just decisions now and not results.

I plan to not look at my results in HEM or my FTP cashier this whole month. I feel better already mentally because I haven't looked in over a week.

I just grind and try to play my A game this month. I'm still able to review my hands in HEM without knowing my results by sliding the net total below my desktop so I can't see it. Try it out, I think it might help you.
