The good the bad and the sleep deprived

I have been most successful recently when I play first thing in the morning. My mind is fresh and I have the energy to grind. Today I skipped my morning session because I was meeting a friend. My plan for afterwords was to go home, take a nap and then grind before my wife got home.

I failed to do this. Instead I wasted a lot of time with pointless surfing. Finally, after a late dinner I tried to grind. Results wise it was fine. I ended up even or slightly ahead. However, I played badly. I acidentally folded a pocket pair. I three bet because I didnt realize that MP had raised. I was tired and it showed.

The moral of this story of course is that I need to grind in the morning whenever possible or at least take a nap before grinding later. My poor decision could have cost me a lot. The two positives that I will take from this session are: 1. I played so the 30 days of grinding goal is still alive. 2. I realized when I was playing awful and cut the session short by about 30 minutes. Knowing when to stop playing and following through is just as important as knowing how to value bet, in my opinion.

It is my "Saturday" if you will so I am going to drink a bit of rum, watch a movie and go to bed. Tommorrow I will grind first thing in the morning.
