I should work in Mcdonalds!!

Unfortunately February isn't going very well. I'm playing with about as much intelligence as someone who works in the fast fast food industry and fittingly I'm earning about the same wage. I'm aware that these break even periods are a part of the game for all players and all i can do is work hard and push through. The thing that bothers me the most is my level if play. If i was playing well and losing then i would be as happy as a Frenchman living next to a brothel. The problem is I'm playing badly, to many poor hands, poor sessions and even poor days. One day last week i lost $4K and played fairly terribly. I think i might have made more mistakes that day than i did in the whole of November; an impressive achievement!

Despite my startling lack of consistency I'm still slightly up on the month. I'm -$1K on live poker outings, thanks to a couple of unsuccessful trips to the international and DTD, but +$2.2K overall. Obviously at the stakes i play this number is fairly insubstantial but it's always nice to be ahead. The plan is to try and grind as hard as i can over the next ten days before returning home for my dad's birthday. I'm pretty much in the routine of going home 3 or 4 times a year now and that suits me just fine. I'll probably post when i get home about how the next week or so goes. It would be nice to keep my streak of $10K + months going but in order to do that I'm going to have to have to maintain a higher level of play and stop tilting it off like a mongoloid!
