A couple weeks ago I totalled up my wins and losses by day of the week for the past few months and discovered that Mondays and Fridays were big losers for me. Mondays I can understand as I often go to bed too late on Sunday and should probably just never play after getting no sleep and spending a day at work.
But Fridays? I'm not drinking. Not particularly tired. It's not bad luck, I'm doing dumb crap like bluffing people who don't fold, and pushing with the idiot straight. I'm doing it tonight, and I did it last Friday. Granted, it's just two days but Criminy, I have lost almost half of what I won last night. |

could be a lack of focus, perhaps you feel that "its friday, i should be out drinking or with friends"...

I suppose it's not really anything anyone can answer but damn it's weird. I thought it might have been because I was too anxious to play because I'll often not play much midweek, but last night I played a ton and wasn't really thinking about poker at all today. |

I've also noticed more loose play on Friday nights and my profits increased dramatically once I stopped bluffing at the partying calling stations.

Self: Lets try. <pushes> Self: Wheeeeeeeee look, we were right, he has a set of aces and we couldn't push him off them. We're a poker god! |

I thank God every night that I don't lose double what I have won in the previous week. Count your blessings man.

Maybe try one of the following:
1. Skip the next few fridays and revisit later. 2. Try moving up stakes on friday just to try and force more concentration... then move back down as needed. F |

Of course. Duh!
Online poker's rigged, silly. Unless he plays B&M, then that's rigged too. |
