One week ago Saturday I clocked my first $100 day. I did it partly by getting lucky on a $25nl table and doubling up - I should have lost that hand, making it a $50 day instead. But I have no control over that, right?
That also marked a $200 week for me, bring my account up to $500.11.
I was super excited. I spent the past week believing and trying to replicate that $100 day. It didn't happen. Not once.
I found myself wanting it too much. I wasn't patient for good spots and was calling too often when facing aggression. At one point on Friday I was up to $610, but then kept my habit of trying too hard and ended the day at $570.
I got a lot of rest last night and took a day off of poker. I think both things helped. Today I'm up to $615.
Hopefully with more patience and disciplined folds I can log another $150-$200 week.
In chess, when I was a 1200-rated kid, and now, fighting like hell makes all the difference. Poker takes so much more patience.
