Pooh Bah Post tl;dr

[Shags]

My problem with managing my BR as of late has been coming home from the bar and wanting to play. a few weeks ago i came home and decided that it would be ok to move up a level and loose 2 buyins (5 of my normal level). After that i felt dumb and wanted to make some of it back so i droped back down and lost 2 more at my normal level.

The next day i swore never to put my role at risk like that again. Now if i come home UTI and really feel the need to play poker ill play like a $1-$2 SNG or MTT. that way im not risking much and still get to play.

I still haven't made a pooh-bah post haha.

As far as not playing hands stupid or whatever, once I started 8+ tabling I began to find very very standard lines for everything. Its weird how playing poker changes if you only have 2-3 seconds max to make a decision (otherwise you'll time out on like 5 tables).

Also tilting while 10 tabling is [censored] nasty. Gotta quit really really fast or bye bye like 2-3 buyins easy.

I like the idea about joining a $2 MTT or similar game if you still feel like playing but are tilting. I actually did this last night (played a $2 HU HORSE SNG) and lost but hey, it was only $2 and I had fun and learned about a game I've never played before.

Also, I find that I get lazy when I'm playing well and become more critical of my play when I'm playing bad, so I'll tend to post more hands, read the forums more, think about my game, etc. Basically I think these swings can be +EV in the long run since they make me really take a close look at what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, instead of just playing mindless poker.
