Gorf and Good Books

Ok, my new resolution is to learn better self control. Yesterday was a horrid day for when it should have hurt 80% less. I sometimes just need to quit, especially in Limit games, where I tend to steam the most.

I did what I normally do and withdrew all of my money and took the day off. I started fresh at Doyle's Room because of the soft NL games and I think I will rebuild here. The 5/10 NL game is very, very soft with little risk. Add in that the max buy-in is 25% less than other sites, seems like a nice place. I've been able to recoup about 25% of my losses, so I should be back up and running by next week.

I picked up Barry Greenstein's Ace on the River and it is very excellent, having to do with the physcology of a good poker player. I think that I have very good technical skills and I now want to really move up to the next level.

I am going to try and hit up a real live NL game on Sunday, so I'll let you guys in on what happens.
