Tilting like a biatch

Not posted for a while, partly due to work, partly due that I've not played much either.

Its probably a good job tho as I'm running like I've broken mirrors whilst running under ladders...

As a casual poker player, my bankroll is quite low, I keep a max of $200 on a site at any time. Now I know thats its not good bankroll management to play $5/$10/$24 mtts but thats my level as I've proved to myself time and again, and can comfortably play at those, and indeed higher levels when I've had a) the opportunity ( last year I won a $5 r/b for $2.2k, and treated myself as a Xmas pressie to a $100 mtt on blonde, where I cashed so so comfortably, and had my play commended by Flushy of all people!) or b) when I've been staked ( consecutive cashes in the 80k on stars ). At the mo, I've run down to about $150 on blonde ( where I tend to keep it about $350) $120 on stars, $5 on tilt ( more to come) and $50 on party.

FT is tilting me so bad at the mo. I play regularly the $24k/o at 8pm. The tourny is easy, field not that strong. Comfortably got to the last 60 last weekend, get dealt AA, someone pushes all in in front of me, so I obv go all in too. The luckbox tables K9 hits both on the flop and it bricks out. TYVM for a top 10 chips pot. Down to dust and soon out afterwards for an entire $60. Since then, tilt has raped me on every opportunity, run KK into AA 5/6 times and then KK has lost to 10 4 ( called my all in pre), AA to 76 ( all in on a A hi flop) and so many more I've forgotten.

Am off work 2moro, so after doing the truly tilting thing of going shopping for work shoes as mine split today ( walking home when the floor was soaked was fun today) then going to have a day JUST playing Stars mtt's. Weds I'm off again, and will be playing just on Blonde ( might do this the other way round, haven't decided yet)..

Just hope I run better soon otherwise I will be crying out for staking, which I really don't want to do!!! ( Unless that is, someone offers me a decent long term one ;) )
