....as the deck allows you to be. Last Saturday I won $1100. I won the majority of the money playing $2-$5 and moved over to $5-$10 to wrap it up. I played well but no different than I generally play. Not bragging to say I am generally one of the better players at the any table I sit at (keep in mind I am in Florida so it's not like I find myself around a lot of seasoned professionals).
That was Saturday though and it was nice. Monday and Tuesday were completely different stories. I played for 4 hours Monday and another 5 hours Tuesday and my average hand was J-3 off. If I managed to get a decent starting hand and was able to see a cheap flop I missed. If I managed to actually hit a flop it would be rivered regardless of how aggressively I tried to protect it.
It just reminded me that no matter how good we think we are or how much of a roll we get on the deck has a way of bringing us back down to earth.
