I played in a 1/2 NL game last night. I really didn't set out to play overly loose, donkish, or anything else. Usually, I'm a solid player who makes accurate reads and can make the right moves to win. Last night, it was like I had never played outside of a home game.
At one point, I was up 300...which is quite a bit in a 1/2 game where most are buying in for 200. Did the thought occur to me that I should leave? Yep. Did I leave? No. Was it because the game was just that good? No. I end up spiraling back down to even, via two or three badly played hands where I knew better than to do what I did.
Needless to say, I'm a little shaken up. Anybody else have off nights where it's not your A game, not your B game...hell, not even your C game? If the cards had not been reasonably friendly to me, it would have been a down-to-the-felt evening. I'm just wondering if it was a fluke, or the signal that I've developed some poor habits in the last few weeks(I've been playing online).
