Also, bankroll management is your friend. When you start losing buyins at a crazy rate like that, might want to move down in stakes and grind it back up.
Like I said, I'm already playing the lowest stakes at the casino. I even traveled 2 hours to a different casino because they have slightly lower stakes (buy-in for 100 BB is $120 instead of $160).
Yeah, the shove with 33 I was definitely on tilt. However, keep in mind that the guy was a maniac and was making HUGE pre-flop raises on almost every hand. I shoved hoping he would fold, and also knowing that if he called, I was still probably a slight favorite to win. He called me with f*cking A4. His call was even more ******ed than my shove.
Anyway, I'm off to the casino again with $250. If I lose that, I've got another $250 in the bank for tomorrow. If I lose that as well, I'm done with poker. Maybe I'll start playing micro-stakes online or whatever, but I'll be taking a break from live poker.
I feel like if I don't go on tilt, I should be able to win. All I can do is try and make the best decisions I can. If I call all-in with KK and the dude has AA, or if I have a full house and get busted out by a higher full house (or whatever), then so be it.
I'll update and say how it went.
