Session 4

Played well, achieved all of my session goals, lost all 3 of my flips though so broke even for the session.

I flatted this hand PF 'cos he always folds to 3bets and it pisses me off to 3bet an actual hand. I wonder, how close is this to a river jam? Even J9 I just counterfeited.... hmm.

When I'm not light headed and not tired I just don't make as many mistakes. I read the NicolaK blog and do agree that once you get to a certain level, it's just about making less mistakes than your opponents. Easier said than done, but cutting out the tilty 'know Im beat' ones is the first step.

I was just about to play, but true to my word I'm a little light headed so I'm off to sleep for 30 minutes instead.
