It was 11:30pm and I had just bubbled out of an 18 person $20 SnG. That was when I was supposed to go to bed. I was playing 3 tables of NL100 at the same time. Well sometime before midnight I started getting off the tables. I was ahead profitwise. Well in my last round on my last open table I got unlucky. 4 hours later Im still playing just that one table because I keep getting unlucky. That means I got 2 hours of not very sound sleep before I had to get up for the jobby job. At one point I was $1 away from where I wanted to quit and got in a set over set hand (me having the under set). So not only am I barely functional at my day job but by the time I quit I was $125 down from the magical spot I was only $1 away from. I almost quit 100 times last night. Everytime was just one more round. By the end I was on nuclear monkey tilt like limping from UTG with Q10 and calling big raises. Even if I would have just opened up 3 more tables and played my normal style I would have been able to claim more sanity and certainly would have played better. I dont know why I get fixated on the particular table where things arent going my way. Obviously I should get off that table all together. Pokerism.
