Pascale's Wager

Everyone makes choices based on assessments of risk and reward. I accept that every choice I make is essentially a gamble with my life. How do we learn to make good decisions?

Proud of Myself

I played in a cash game tonight. A couple of hours in, I was up 6x my buy-in.

And then I was brutally coolered, when my set of Queens was crushed by a set of Kings, both of us all-in on the 9KQ flop.

Why proud?

Because I didn't steam. I didn't tilt. I shrugged it off and managed to finish the evening with a profit of 2x my buy-in. I played well and maintained my discipline despite a serious setback.

I am prouder of that than I am of the actual monetary gain.

I'm going to Vegas tomorrow. I'll be back in New York late Tuesday night. Are you going to be there at the same time?

Give me a buzz at Fritzle at WallStreetPoker DOT org and we can exchange numbers or something. You should meet some of the crew!
