Pin the Tail on thecortster

Sunday: -$571.10
Pin the tail on the donkey is a game I used to play as a kid. I specifically remember playing it on my 6th birthday, and as far as I can remember, I was pretty good at it. For those of you who are not familiar with the game, click here to try out an online version.

Well, today the tables are turned. Rather than pinning the tail on, I now am the donkey. A couple posts ago I mentioned that I just wanted to stick to SNGs to guarantee some profit. That's all fine and dandy, but then what do I do this afternoon? I spot an ultra-juicy 50/100 (approximately $30/60) TRY Limit Hold'em table running at CelebPoker. Though this table was a poker player's dream as far as gameplay goes, limit is not exactly my game. However, being the donkey that I am, I sat down and blew off 1200 TRY ($800) within 25 minutes. Yes, there were some unfortunate situations, however, the fact remains that I never should have been sitting there in the first place!

I can't even consider it "taking a shot" either, because it is not even slightly close to the games I play / have the most success in. In plain words, it was just plain stupidity. Once I had cooled off a little later I took up my regular SNGs and gained back some ground, but obviously not enough to get me out of the hole. On top of all that, we were stood up by a business partner for a meeting we had planned for the evening. I kept myself out of all Sunday MTTs just for that meeting and it turns out it was all for nothing.
