Wednesday: -$814.50
When I woke up this morning, I wasn't sure if my account would be still be working, but to my relief, all seems to be well as of now.

Unfortunately the same can not be said about my poker day. I lost a decent chunk of change, but reading Greenstein's book (Ace on the River) has been helping me a lot with the psychological aspect of my game. He writes about how winning players can handle bad beats and substantial losses, whereas losing players go right into "complain mode" saying how they are the unluckiest people in the world.

I'm not sure why, but that immediately made a light go off in my head that I should stop my bitching and whining when I am losing. Really, there's no point. As long as I am making profitable decisions, it really doesn't matter whether my opponent hits his 3-outer or not..

I love Greensteins book!

It doesn't teaches you how to play poker but it teaches you how to handle your poker life.
