Self Discipline

Ok I was not going tell a soul but then I thought if I’m going to blog I have to post about every thing not just the funny and the good so here goes.. I have a self discipline problem with On-line poker. Stop laughing that’s not Funny! Yesterday I had $42.00 dollars in my Cake account and since there was no points game for Holdem Radio I decide to play in a 20 dollar buy in bounty tourney. I played great I took 9 bounty’s and also finished 7th for a profit of $130.00.After the tourney my Cake account balance $172.00 (That more then I have ever had in an on-line account at one time) So here’s where the Self Discipline problem comes in, I’m listening to Earl and Jenn on the Tournament Trail so I decide I’m going to play in another bounty tourney but I do not have any luck. So then I decide to play in just a regular buy in tourney and I finish 11th just out of the money, at this point the Bankroll is $128.00. Ok at this point I should call it a night, not that in the last two tourneys I’ve played bad just didn’t get any cards but I continue on and head for the ring games at cake. I think you all know where this is going. I sit down at the ring games and the Bad beats keep coming, I get my money in with the best hands and Over and Over agian I continue to get beat. The Straits, The 4 card Flushes and even a Strait Flush beats my Full House. But because of no discipline I just didn’t quit and continued to play thinking that in poker bad streaks would come and if I continue to play solid Poker In the end I would triumph. But I didn’t and my bank roll on cake currently stands at $45.83 and that’s a profit of $3.83 for the day. With any self discipline at all I could have Quit when I was way ahead. I will be adding Self Discipline to the list we talked about yesterday.
