Well poker, I still hate you. Even with having a casino less than 5 minutes from me, I am still finding the same leaks. Patience is my killer. Anyway, I had a great morning session (was there when the first hands were dealt) and when I went back to the casino at night they were jammed packed. All 24 tables filled with waiting lists 30+ long. The kicker was that there was actually a line of 20+ people waiting for the front podium just to sign up and get on the lists! This room is going to be crazy for sure for at least a couple months. However, tonight, I felt like I could get nothing right. I’ve been feeling this way for quite a while now. I’ve re-evaluated and although my game will be solid for the first hour or two, the patience leak begins to happen. All I can do now is move down in stakes to strictly 1/3 so that I can re-evaluate again and humble myself. I’m not sure the patience will be there though.

So the Rivers has a 1/3NL and a 1/2NL?
Sorry to hear about your bad streak. Believe me i hate when it takes 6 hours to win 150 dollars. But at the same rate I hate even more when i can loose 200 within an hour or so with a string of 2nd best beats! (i hate nothing more than 2nd best all day long) This i believe is the hardest variance in poker to overcome.
Your 5 minutes away you should have great patience now! Atleast im looking for that aspect to help my game.

Glad to hear poker in Pennsylvania is off to a great start! Will be interesting to hear what you have to say about the Meadows once you get down there to play.

I was definitely second best all night long that night. I know about the patience and I was disappointed with myself. I am planning on being more disciplined. I played a very successful morning session of 1/3 this morning and played a very strong game with a very narrow starting range. It is very humbling to move down in stakes, but the lack of any type of “moves” in 1/3 is very refreshing.
Rivers also only has 1/3. Sorry for the confusion. I sometimes just type them together.

Thanks for the comment Jeff. Will try to make it to Meadows sometime this week.
