Rough Patch for the WPT

I've managed to recover about 33% of my loss from last Saturday's tilt (It was that big), but I am being very protective of my bankroll now so I haven't been able to pursue my WPT dreams very hard. I think this week will determine how aggresively I can focus for the rest of the month on the WPT.

That's the thing about poker, it is constantly shifting. You have to charge, retreat, dodge, sashay, and reevaluate constantly, whether it being during a game or overall. I can't charge ahead right now, but I am through retreating as well. I am reevaluating right now so as to not cripple myself.

The big problem with my last tilt wasn't that I was playing too high a limit. My bankroll can easily support me taking shots at limits twice of what I play right now. What I did do was lose my head and not putting a stop loss on the game. If I stopped where I should've, there wouldn't be a problem right now. Sometimes I wish I had a poker fairy that stood on my shoulder and went "Kid, it's time to quit for the day"
