The ugly girl of old town
 

Once, a friend had to go for two months to a very small town due to his job. He told me that the first days, of all the girls in town, not even one would meet his standards. But after two weeks, things suddenly changed. The below standard girl of the post office, now looked nice, and also the bar tender or the store clerk. By the fourth week our hero was living la vida loca. My friend came back, and all things were normal again for him. But... in poker, things are not so nice. If after several hands we begin to see the beauty in a marginal hand out of position against a raise, the outcome will not be so funny as the story of my friend. You see the beauty in KT offsuit out of position and for sure you won't be living la vida loca, unless you get lucky. I still have to remind myself that in poker I have to keep my standards, unless I have an advantage, and know for sure that I can get away with it.

So what you are saying is that if K7 suited starts looking like Salma Hayek, it might be time for a break. Wasn't there a Star Trek episode about this?

I thought it was pretty good, but after a couple of weeks in a town I don't think my standards can lower that much... thats pretty sad for your friend

Wait until you reach my age and then see what happens to your standards.

This does happen alot and is a major leak in most poker players arsenal. Discipline is a big factor in success at the poker table, like others said good post.
