After my rather pleasing wins, I went to the tables on Friday night full of beenz. Sat down at my usual sit n go, ready to take on all comers. I think it was pretty evident fairly quickly that this was not going to be a good session. This uber-aggressive player was raising everything, every hand, every flop. I went into a big pot with pocket kings. The table showed 236, 4... and I got stupid and put in a massive re-raise only to walk into A5 from my opponent. It was a dumb move, and I should have seen it. But I just got so sick of his bully-boy tactics that I saw red. Note to self: Control your emotions. It's never personal in poker*.
After going out quickly, I entered another SNG straight away to try and redeem myself, only to play even worse. I turned into the Hulk, raising pots with stupid cards getting called and then having to back out with nothing. Went out in 7th.
I decided to play on a cash table for a bit to try and compose myself, but was so card dead, I gave up after losing another $1. This was my first serious case of tilt. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was going right. Every hand I called got beat. Every hand I lay down got me the nuts on the flop. Every move got outmanouevered. I had to call it quits. Give it a break for today. Come back nice and refreshed tomorrow.
*In most cases, anyway.
