I played 1 session today at 5NL and won 3BI in like 2k hands, but then in true nit fashion I hit a mother fucking wall when I got bored and decided to play again, losing 6 straight fucking buy ins to the 5NL retards who just get cooler after cooler, sukout after suckout.

It all started with AA < KK within my first like 50 hands, when we got it all in on the flop after he might as well have played his hand face up, only for the river to bring a K. I got straight flushed on the river with my nut flush, blah blah blah, then I managed to tilt away the last 3 BI I lost on just stupid shit that I know iis retarded. This is how I went busto the first time at 50NL, and I'm not letting it happen again.

With finals on the horizon and me needing to get like a 100 on each one just to be able to enter my major next year (lol GG NO RE aerospace engineering major), and the fact that if I have another bad session close to this one I might go on lifetilt, I just decided to force myself into a 7 dday break until finals are over next week. I made it official by going into the "Responsible Gaming" option on stars and making them exclude me for a week. Now I can focus on studying and I even have some time for this girl I've been talking to XD.

Anyways, hopefully I don't go through some kind of withdrawal during the break, but I think it will do me a lot of good. I am starting to think that not NEEDING to play everyday to "get your fix" is one of the keys to becoming a winning player in the long run. I already experienced going busto and started recovering, and I know the value of the money I win as more than just some kind of play money because I use it to pay off certain things, so this next step should actually help much more than hurt (although I'm def going to miss playing for a week, but hopefully not so much after this is done =D).

GL, peace!

I've been replying to your blog so check ur old posts.

You never got "Poker Mindset'. I honestly think it would be a huge help for you, even more than NLH Theory and practice was.

Glad to hear you stopped yourself. That's HUGE! Every time you fight tilt it gets easier to do in the future. Also a good idea to let your focus be on finals this week. I'd just read a poker book or some poker articles every time you start craving poker.
