I played on Full Tilt today and lost $43 in about 20 minutes. It's not about the amount, it's about how I played. I started at a 24+2 tourney that is technically out of my bankroll and then I made an awful play. I don't have the HH, but here is what happened.
At 20/40, Limp in EP, SB limps, I have AKs in the BB. I raise to 111 in the BB. Fold Call.
Check to me after a flop of AXX with two clubs. I bet 222. SB calls.
Turn is king of clubs. SB pushes all in on me and has me covered (we each have about 1600)
I insta-call?
SB turns over 76 of clubs. Frush - thanks for playing.
So two things happened here. One - I called too fast. What's the fucking hurry? Why do I not wait on this hand while I am playing for my tournament life? Take time and evaluate. It was not hard to see through this guy's play. This was a mental error on my part.
But I made this bad play for two reasons - I was an idiot and I was tired and sick and hungry. Stop playing when you're not in the mood. And then in frustration, I went to a $0.15 / $0.30 NL 6 handed table and lost the rest of the my money on FTP, $17. Still tired and frustrated and then made a fucking terrible play. You know the right plays - so only play when you mind is right and you can make good decisions.
