Wasted Zone

Although it is Friday and there is a non-zero chance that I will enjoy a beverage or two this evening, that's not the kind of wasted I'm talking about. 

I got in another session last night and was really feeling good about my decision making.  I felt more alert than usual, did a much better job of maintaining fold discipline and was taking actual time - yes, even at Rush - to think situations through before acting.  In other words, I felt like I was "in the zone".

Such a great feeling.

As it turns out, though, being in the zone proved to be largely unnecessary.  It's not all that common to play a huge pot preflop at Rush100 but when somebody 4-bet shoves on you when you're holding AA what are you going to do?  Call, pray and grin when your favorite holds.  Yep.

I was grateful for the courtesy double and promptly shut things down.  More and more it makes me happy to book a win no matter how small.  Now if only I can get better at sticking to a stop-loss on those days where I can't get it going I'll be where I want to be.

Much else to talk about but no time.  With the weekend forecast looking dismal and the home teams on a bye maybe I can crank out a few words.  We shall see.  It's been a long time since I've been "in the zone" when it comes to blogging.
