Gah!

I'm uspet at myself. I was at Bugsy's in another satellite for Saturday's tourney, hoping to win the cash. I got heads up with a player, and got a very good read on the player and yet... I still tried to do something I knew I couldn't get away with. I got frustrated as he was getting run over by the deck and I was going cold, but still, there's no excuse. I knew I couldn't blast him off the hand and yet, there I was trying.

The really annoying thing about it is I had worked my way from being 3-1 down to having taken a very very small lead for one hand. I did this through disciplined play, knowing when I could take a hand off of the player and when I should lay down my medium strength hand. And I threw it all away with one steamed out moment.

Oh well. I know that I'm prone to moments of frustration where I end up making a large mistake. It's probably one of the bigger things I need to work on - learning when that moment is coming and somehow either avoiding it's onset or dealing with it's arrival in a much more constructive manner.
