Crazy Game Called Poker

Poker is such a funny game at times. Last night I ran bad at Sit-N-Gos but sick great at live games. The night before was the total opposite. I don’t know how people can do this for a living. The highs and lows to you moods are just crazy. Getting kicked in the junk some days while feeling as high as a kite other days is a lot to handle. I equate playing Poker to being Manic depressive. You have very high highs and very low lows. Its crazy some days can’t do anything right other days can’t do anything wrong. Some Donkdays(Sundays) my big pocket pairs Tens-Kings lose to Ace-Rag all day long. Other Donkdays I can’t lose a race if I wanted to. It’s so frustrating to get my money in ahead and then the outcome to be totally out of my hands. I believe Poker would drive a control freak completely insane after a few years. You never really are in control of your own destiny in Poker. All you can do is make the right moves and in the long run you will come out ahead. The short run can be brutal at times. This is why bankroll management is one of the most important things to being a winning player. You have got to have the bankroll to withstand the sick variance you may face. Enough ranting for one day, thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. Tony
