Poker Blog?

So the week after the $300 debacle, I ponied up another $500 for another LA Poker Classic adventure. The end result was much better, 67/669. About 30 from the money. I could and should have made the money if not the final table but I think playing for that length of time caught up to me. I lost 30k in one hand and went on tilt for my last 18k (which was still really good in comparison to the rest of the table/other tables). Lesson learned, don't go on tilt. I recently purchased Zen and the Art of Poker. My knowledge of the game and it's subtleties, I feel, have grown significantly and far enough that I feel as though I can compete in most arenas. However, my mental game has been poor. I take the highs and lows well for a while then I snap. Hence the Zen book. So far it is really awesome at telling me what I should have already known but too stubborn to realize. Patience and lack of emotion are essential. Also, there is no past and no future, only the present. So from now on unless I win an event or do well or discover something new, only things that can help others with their game will be posted. I am going to try and post something helpful at least once a week about the game. (Note: it will mostly be about No-Limit Hold 'Em due to my background, but I will discus other topics too.) Peace.
