I own my limit. And when I say own I mean 20BB pure pwnage destruction.

But what owns me is my tilting. And when I tilt I tilt hard, I start to believe in luck and it never comes, so I push it even harder.
I wiped out my winnings so many times it makes me sick.

But Today after 3-4 tilts I finally recognised when it was coming. I started posting all my lost hands where I hope the card with 30%EV simply must come because it didnt in so long, and when 2 hands like this occured in a row with a loss of $2 I simply left and did my measly job of magazine distribution. I came back and continued rampage, and now I finished yet again because the tiredness is coming.

This is all nice, but once again I first have to prove I can stay strong over the next long period of weak hands and bad beats that will almost certainly come as it did five times already after an upswing.
If I can handle it and at least stay flat over my next playday I will finally feel confident I can actually achieve something with poker.

Actually the only won hand with -EV today was this one against 90/87 Maniac ;o
And two slowlayed fullhouses into All-In helped a little to climb over the 20BB standard.

Now its going to be even bigger challenge for me not to tilt again, as I finally got myself a BR for 200BB
