I just finished a 45-man SNG at Stars and managed to make it past the
bubble with the 2nd biggest stack. I immediately get a good hand and go
up against the chip leader, who takes me down with nothing. I don't even
want to talk about the cards we had. It's a genuine miracle I cashed at
all, the way things have been going.
Not a good weekend. My palms are sweating, and I'm itching to make back
some of what I've lost. I realize I'm beginning to play badly, but I
can't seem to stop.
This is the first time I've experienced this. I have no idea how to
handle it.
